Nude and Black Lace Manicure

Hi there! Okay, so it was a little longer between posts than I had previously planned, but that's okay! My manicure for today is one that was inspired by a YouTube video from Miss80Million that I will post a link to here. I absolutely loved it and wanted to do the same thing, but it didn't work out that way.  I was still happy with it, but I just loved how her lace overlapped, but either my stamp was too wide or my nails were not long enough because there was no way it would have fit more than once.

So! This is what I ended up with:




I really loved the final result and I finally figured out how to use the stamping plates perfectly! Apparently my nail polish remover was leaving some kind of weird film on the stamp/plate/both and therefore it wasn't transferring properly! Yay! I was getting very frustrated, so I'm super glad it's working better now! The base coat is OPI Tickle My France-y and the stamping polish is the Konad Black Special Polish. I used two different plates, Konad M79 for the ring accent nail, along with a touch of Konad Pink Special Polish for the flower, and a Shany plate SH21 for the main lace stamps.

I did this manicure for a friend's graduation party and I loved the way it turned out! I thought it would be neutral and yet classy at the same time, and it definitely was! Yay! Next up: my first time using dotting tools!
