Hello, Lovelies, I hope you're having a happy Tuesday!

This mani was inspired by one from a French woman's lovely nail art blog, my favorite actually, Tenshi no Hana, although she might see no resemblalnce to her beautiful mani created using water decals. I ordered some decals (couldn't get the exact ones she used), wasn't satisfied, but kept looking. Then, when I received the Pueen image plates, I thought that their lace design might work.

I began with Nailtiques Formula 2 as a base coat,

Essie "Sand Tropez", 2 coats, and Seche Vite top coat.

Then I stamped the lace pattern from Pueen 28 Image Plate intentionally in different sections of each nail, using Wet 'n Wild "Black Créme",

and finished with Seche Vite top coat.

It's getting closer to Tenshi's look, although each of her water decals were a different lacy pattern.
