Day 97
Guten tag, people! :-P
I decided for today's nails, I would jump on the lace nail bandwagon, and give it a whirl. Let me tell you, it's HARD. It's also VERY uncomfortable, because the edges are really rough. This would probably work best on artificial nails, were you could get the fit a lot better and all that jazz. I dunno, from a foot or more away they look kinda rad, but they're definitely not for up close viewing... at least not mine, anyway. It took forever though, so I decided to post it :-P

I used American Apparel Palm Springs as a base for all nails except the ring finger, where I used China Glaze Salsa. The lace was just some cheap lace edging I got at Wal-mart. Topped it off with 3 or so coats of Seche Vite top coat... I dunno, I lost count.
I dunno, all in all, not my favorite, but they can't all be winners. :-D
oww - they look picky - but neat!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, good effort!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely interesting, but they sure don't look comfy. Thank you for enduring it for us!
ReplyDeleteawesome!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cool!!!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! Very texturey!
ReplyDeleteLooks almost like snakeskin.
ReplyDeleteI agree with JustSomeNailsByMJ.
ReplyDeleteNope, this doesn't do it for me at all. But kudos to you for trying it and spending what must have been hours on it!
ReplyDeleteI looved, is AMAZING !
ReplyDeleteI'm trying this on my friend soon. did you measure your nail first then cut the lace? i saw a tutorial on it online and the girl measured and cut like 8 times! it was a process...
ReplyDeleteI think they look pretty awesome but I'd probably cut them and then stick them on false ones... way too much effort for me. I'm copying your zip nails tomorrow though. Hey...a little lace poking out of the zips would look great! Waaaay too hard though!
ReplyDeleteyou know I have a konad plate with a lace print...one of my friends actually thought it was lace when I used it...
ReplyDeletefrom the thumbnail from my followers page it looks like snake skin.
ReplyDeleteJust want to congratulate you for your blog and the various tips posted here and endless creativity. Congratulations. And also did a post on my blog talking about your work, if you have any problems just let me know that I take from the blog. Kisses and success to you.
ReplyDeleteI've seen these in Look magazine,
ReplyDeleteI think they look so pretty :)
well, i never would have been able to do that as well as you did, let's just say.
ReplyDeleteOh my god... Those must have been a real pain to get off!!! Easier or harder than glitter??
ReplyDeleteHow about putting them on for a bit, painting colour on top then removing the lace when its kinda dry? To get the outline of the lace that is. Wonder if it'd work! But anyway cannot imagine the amount of work you put in!! Amazing (:
ReplyDeleteOi! Ficou bem legal, mas realmente parece não ser nada confortável ! Você é muito criativa !
ReplyDeletebeijos :)
You're being too hard on yourself. They look really pretty!
ReplyDeleteguten tag ! do you speak german ? :D
ReplyDeleteKonad needs to make a plate that's just a big solid lace print. Then you could pick and choose sections for each nail, so they'd all be unique and you could have the look of lace nails without the feeling.
ReplyDeleteBrynne, I agree, I've thought that before too, I also think that they should do custom ones, or just more patterny ones.
ReplyDeleteThey look interesting, but seem sooooo unsanitary... so many nooks and crannies in the lace to get nasty crusties stuck, ew!
ReplyDeleteInteresting post !!! i love to see it, when people need such type of site. which has great information about this topic... Great for new generation..
ReplyDeleteThanks..
