Manicure of the Day: Dainty Lace!

I want to start this post by saying this was not my original idea, but I cannot for the life of me find the original post (If you know PLEASE comment below so I can properly credit the original!) I loved the dainty detail and need to get back in nail art practice, so I figured this was perfect!

I used Zoya Rue, Milani White on the Spot and Jessica Sparkling Silver for this design!

First I applied 2 coats of Zoya Rue and let dry. I used a thin nail art brush dipped in Miliani White on the Spot to create the design and. Once everything dried I applied 2-3 coats of Jessia Hologram Sparkling Silver to add a light holographic sparkly finish (its been my go-to for a little extra fun)!

I love how feminine this mani is! I am pretty happy with how it came out though I need to practice a bit more!

How do you feel about this mani? Let me know below or on Pretty in Paint's Facebook!
