Hi everybody
Today I have been working on a butterfly
wing design, which I would like to share with you.
I know that I'm not the first to make a nail-art design of the wings, but think that it is soooo pretty, and I wanted to do a design that would make the process less complicated.
You can find the print out in the bottom of this post.

I decided to paint my nails in hot pink
and I think it turned out so pretty and spring-like, perfect for the first days
of spring – which will soon be here, hopefully.
Making the butterflies:
1. Always start out with a layer of base coat
to protect your natural nails.
2. Select your base color – I chose pink, but
I also think that a minty green or other pastels would be so beautiful with
this design
3. Now cut out the decals to fit your nails
(if you haven’t seen the post about how to prepare the decals, that would be a
good idea to read as well.)
4. Soak them in water for about 20 sec.
5. Place them on the fingers and dry them with
a cotton ball or some paper towel.
6. Use a dotting tool to make the white spots
in the black area. If you don’t have a dotting tool you can use a toothpick or
a bobby pin
7. Finish with a layer of fast drying topcoat
to prevent your design from chipping
And then you’re done!
