Studs & Lace Nails!

by Shona Wallace @SWfashion_

At Studs&Lace, we know that carrying off a vintage look is all about personal style, and the ways that you make the look your own. A great way to make a look unique is through little details that can make or break a nice outfit.

A beautiful 60s shift is never going to look good with straggly hair, and a 70s maxi would just look daft with chipped nails, so why forget about the little details this Christmas? Heck- why not embrace beauty trends and make your nails a fashion feature in themselves!

In keeping with the Studs&Lace theme, the latest nail art craze- like those covetable, but pernickety WAH nails- is lacy nails and they are not as fiddly as they sound- trust me!

1. Take a stretch of pretty black lace and cut out pieces to fit each nail.

2. Paint your nails a base colour of your choosing- the most simple and stylish is a blush/nude tone, but it can look pretty with a bold colour as well. If you really want to channel a Studs & Lace look, opt for a duck-egg blue base and top with black lace. Models Own 'Bloo Boo' is a great pastel blue. Gorgeous!

3. While the nail polish is still wet, carefully apply each individual piece of lace.

4. Wait for the polish to dry and apply a clear top coat over the lace.

Easy peasy, and certain to give everyone nail envy!
