12. Vintage Lace Embroidery

12

Nothing says romance quite like delicate lace. The Vintage Lace Embroidery manicure features intricate, hand-painted white or black lace patterns over a sheer nude or pale pink base. The level of detail in this design is breathtaking, mimicking the fine threads of bridal lace, complete with delicate mesh patterns, floral motifs, and tiny dotted borders. It is a highly detailed, feminine, and classic look.

Because this design is so intricate, it is often best applied as an accent nail on the ring and middle fingers, leaving the other nails in a solid, matching nude or soft white. If hand-painting is too time-consuming, high-quality nail stamps or water decals can be used to achieve this timelessly romantic, Victorian-inspired look.
