Here are my nails right after I filed them neat and and clean, and shortened the others to match.
So how to fix it? Nail art of course! I had my first Christmas get together of the season and wanted my newly filed nubs to look their best. I decided I would create a lace look on my nails.
To start, I pulled out Wet n' Wild's Tangled in My Web, I applied 1 coat and a bit, trying to get a good amount of the hex glitter on each nail. When that was dry, I pulled out Konad plate M-57, this has the fishnet pattern and flowers. First I stamped the flowers on my mails randomly, sometimes more than once in different spots. Then I stamped over that with the fishnet pattern. Once you apply your top coat, you're all done! This was my first time trying it, but I really liked the effect :)
Have you ever tried lace nails? what did you use to create them?
That's so pretty! How easy is the stamp to use?

Your story of nail breakage is enough to strike terror in my heart, LOL! Nice recovery on filing the nails down, I think they look great! Nice mani, I think having the Tangled in Your Web in the mix was genius!
ReplyDeleteHannah - thanks :) the Konad ones work the best. I hadn't used them in a while and they were so much easier to use than my dupe or BM plates.
ReplyDeleteImpoverished by Polish -Thanks, I think my nails were due to a filing, they were much too long and I didn't even realize. they are quickly growing back though :)
