To get started you need to do some shopping. The specific nail polish you need is Chine Glaze Liquid Leather Lacquer. To get the gold screens you’ll need to pay a visit to Jo-Ann Fabric or some sort of crafts store. You’ll also need shears that can cut metal cleanly because the last thing you want is jagged edges and burrs hanging off your fingers. You need an adhesive – the type used for acrylic nails will do just fine, and you’ll also do well to get a fine grit sandpaper.
Be advised, if you are the type of person that is regularly rubbing your eyes, this manicure is not a good idea.
Start the process by cutting the gold wire. Each piece should be wide enough to not only cover the nail, but to slightly overhang them. While in the video the mesh wire is very jagged and somewhat sloppy looking, in real life you do not want that. You will want to trim down as much of the wire as possible so it flush to each junction point. It is a good idea to even use a fine sandpaper to smooth any rough spots or burrs. Once you have worked the metal mesh wire into pieces that are as safe as can be you are ready to work on the nail itself.
Apply the China Glaze polish and then follow that up with a clear coat. Once the clear coat has dried, glue the mesh wire onto the nail. When gluing the mesh on, the first thing to make sure of is that you get it secured firmly. The trick is to do that without bending the mesh to conform to the shape of your nail. A good way to pull this off is to start applying pressure to the are in the dead center of the nail and then work the top and bottom region. If you need to make it more secure, remember that you are working with mesh and you can drop a bit of glue between the holes and apply more pressure. Repeat for each nail and you’re done as simple as that.
