I really like these ready-to-go art coats for when you are in a hurry, as you can literally have cool looking nails in 10 minutes before you have to be out the door for an event.
I Picked up a pack in the Kiko store after having looked at them online. I thought I had picked up the 03 Taupe lace, but actually I had picked up 302 Lace Cover by mistake. So when applying them, I realised they were transparent. Downside of this is that you have to use it with a nail polish as a background (tried it without, doesn’t look great), but upside is that you can choose any background for the lace affect, making it match to any outfit. I paired it with the Kiko polish in 303 Beige Chrome, which makes it a perfect parring with a simple black dress I think.
A few tips I have picked up during the years with these nail patch arts are:
- Make sure to have completely clean nails before applying
- Flatten down the middle of the nail, then down the sides, helps prevent creasing.
- Use a glass nail file to remove the excess, as it will make a smoother edge.
- Use top coat to cap the end of the nail, if your natural nail is prone to chipping.
- And don’t forget to save the leftover nail patches, as they can always be cut to size and used as an accent nail effect.
