Increasing demand for unique nails has led to greater experimentation with design and the products used. The opportunities are as endless as your imagination. Nails can be hung with feathers to produce a colourful look with an unusual texture. Small pieces of material, particularly lace, can look stylish on their own or act as a stencil for nail design. In this project, tulle is used as a stencil to create a fantastic snakeskin effect.

Step 1Prepare the nails by pushing back the cuticles and applying a good quality base coat. Apply a nude polish in two thin coats, using one that is as close to the skin tone as possible. Alternatively, try a darker, bolder base colour.
-
Step 2Place a piece of tulle over the dry polish and hold firmly
-
Step 3Dab the sponge in a bright nail polish. Remove the excess, then press the sponge onto the tulle on the nail. You can
dab all over or just on a section of the nail, depending on the look you want to achieve. -
Step 4Gently peel away the tulle to leave

Step 5Apply a layer of top coat to a snakeskin effect.
