I got a request for lace nails and fishnet nails so this will work with either. I decided to use tulle for my fishnet effect since it is really light and thin. If using lace i had better results with a very sheer type of lace with a tiny design but you can use whatever you would like you may just need more top coats.
This style of nail art is not intended to be long term but would be great for a night out or something where your not expecting it to last.
Tip: You want the nail to feel totally smooth so keep applying top coats until you get there and also make sure to go all the way down the nail and get the tips good. Don't want it to lift. Its also easier if you pre cut your material.
