DIY: lace nails


wings of lace // ralph lauren top Lace nails inspired by Tracy Reese & Reem Acra



Supplies you will need: top coat(I used Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails..lol), scissors, toothpick, and black LACE!

Top coat is designed to dry hard and protect your nails from scratches and chips. To ensure the lace adhere to the nails, make sure you use top coat instead of clear polish.


Step 1: Measure and trim the lace to fit each finger nail.


Step 2: Polish a single layer of top coat. Step 3: Apply the trimmed lace on top of the wet polish. Step 4: Firmly press the outer corners of the lace with a toothpick. Step 5: Let the polish and lace dry for a few minutes Step 6: Finish with two more applications of top coat.


fin!

Have fun and please link back to Behind the Seams blog when using this tutorial! Thanks!
