6. **Lace and Texture Effects**

It has become an art form in of itself to replicate the complex patterns of bridal dress lace on nails. Modern techniques let raised lace patterns be created utilising 3D gel, delicate stamping techniques, hand-painted designs reflecting real lace patterns. These can be produced in classic white, metallic tones or subdued nude colours that produce a refined trompe l’oeil impression. By carefully applying matte and glossy treatments, one can create depth and dimension that grabs light and attention, therefore enhancing the texture. Artists may include real lace designs from the wedding dress into the manicure design to create a precisely coordinated appearance that binds the whole bridal set together.
