Buy thickly women fishnets — extra fabric creates better separation and dimension.
Then, you will need three polish shades (nude, gray and black). Apply base coat then a coat of the nude polish.
When polish dry, wrap fishnets around a toe (secure the base with a hair tie), turning the fabric so the holes are diamond-shaped, not square. This offers the ideal snakeskin stencil.
Open the black polish and carefully paint a thin coat inside each of the fishnet holes. Let the paint dry for two minutes.
Now top a few of the blank-painted diamonds with the gray polish to create an uneven, scale-like accent. After two minutes, remove the fishnets, and apply a quick-dry topcoat.
