Challenge Accepted - Sheer Black Lace Nails



Hello, Fireflies!

Some time ago, a participant in a Facebook group posted this picture by CelineDoesNails, and asked if anyone in our group would be willing to try and replicate it.

I accepted the challenge.   This is my attempt.  I had to make a sheer black polish first, so I added a few drops of Wet 'n Wild Black Creme to Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Flawless, a clear polish.

Then, I took my black striper and also a dotting tool and tried my best to exactly replicate the patterns of the original art!

Then, I ever so delicately added a small black border to each nail.

A no-bottle grip feels weird.  Does it look weird to you?


Ah, better.

Ok, so *technically* this month's theme is black and white, not black and less black.  But I had to share.  The sheer black is pretty cool!
