Lace Nails

Classic, Lace, Elegant.

Tutorial 2

Do you love lace? Have you worn it in every way possible? 
There is a new way you can wear lace. Lace Nails. No, not putting cloth on that dirt eater. Two words, Nail Art. I've done a similar design before. 

This look was inspired by my previous work. It was designed to match a classic black and white lace dress I wore for graduation.
