" Nail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop created this sexy black lace look for Emerson for one of the brand&amp;#039;s runway shows. Now, she shows and tells Cosmo (and you!) exactly how to get this fashion-forward, must-try mani.   1. Prep and paint. File nails into desired shape, then push back cuticles \u2014 DO NOT CUT THEM! \u2014 and apply basecoat. Then apply two coats of an opaque nude shade, like Orly Pure Porcelain. Allow polish to set for a few minutes before moving onto step two. 2. Create some lace. Dip a nail art striper brush in a metallic black polish, like Deborah Lippmann Hit Me With Your Best Shot, then draw on a fishnet pattern by creating criss-cross diagonal lines. Create a triangle at by your cuticle by drawing lines from the bottom left corner to the top right, and then the bottom right to top left. Continue with lines in this pattern until you&amp;#039;ve covered the whole nail. Make sure to leave enoug space between each line to add fleurettes. 3. Draw four dots into a four leaf clover shape at each &amp;quot;x.&amp;quot; Pour a little bit of the metallic black paint out on a piece of foil. Use the small end of dotter tool to dab four dots where each of the diagonal lines intersect. 4. Complete the lace design. Create a sheer versino of the black metallic polish by mixing a ratio of 3 parts nail polish remover and one part polish in the cap of your remover bottle. Dip your striper brush into the mixture use slightly rounded strokes to draw little &amp;quot;x&amp;quot; shapes within each diamond section. This continues the fishnet effect. Once nails have set, finish with a top coat. Sexy, right? Now go on and give this sexy mani a go, and then tweet us your DIY design with the hashtag #CosmoManiMonday.
