Floral Lace Motif Mani with Chelsea King
The inspiration: Chelsea
picked three polishes that felt fresh (teal, lime-green, and white) to
lay down the ultimate summery mani inspired by two of the season’s
biggest trends—floral and lace.
1: Start with clean nails and a base coat.
2: Then,
paint your base layer: the nail on your index finger in lime green, and
all other nails in teal. Do two coats, then let your nails dry for at
least 5 minutes.
3: Brush
some white polish onto a piece of foil. “It’s helpful to have a small
palette that you can work on and foil is more durable than paper, which
absorbs polish quickly,” says Chelsea. Dip your fine brush into the
white and paint 2 to 3 small circles randomly on each nail. (These will
form the center of the flowers.) Here, we did 3 circles on the index
finger and thumb, and 2 circles on the remaining nails.
4: Next,
using your fine brush, paint 4 to 5 “petals” per circle to create
flowers, as pictured. Chelsea recommends first painting a fine “V,” and
then rounding the tops to create each petal.
5: Outline each flower in white, as pictured.
6: Paint
diagonal stripes along each nail, making sure not to strike through any
of the flowers. Go back and add another layer of diagonal stripes, in
the opposite direction, to create a web like pattern that resembles lace,
as pictured.
7: Finish with top coat, and you’re done!
