Manicure Monday: Sexy Lace Up Corset

For this week's Manicure Monday, I came up with a sexy lace up corset bustier (or shoe lace) nailart. It might look complicated but it is fairly simple to create where you can achieve this look as well.

Here is how it is done:
1. Always start any manicure with a basecoat
2 a.) Paint all the nails with a white base color OR
   b.) Paint all the nails with the pink base color
3 a.) Paint both sides of each nail with pink color straight down leaving the middle white
   b.) Using the white polish, create a vertical white stripe down the middle (about 1/3 of nail width)
4. Using a dotting tool, create 4 dots vertically down on both sides of the pink area
5. Using a black color stripper, draw diagonal lines connecting each of the white dots where it creates an X forming the lace effect
6. Finish with a top coat for a smooth and glossy finish which also help seal in everything

* On the thumb, instead of straight line down each side, create a curve shape which gives a heart shape bustier line
