I've never painted butterfly wings before, but I have always wanted to try. A friend at school and I have been trying to get her nails painted for months, and we finally fit it in on her last day.
Isn't it so pretty and sparkly?! I used all holos for this design. We couldn't resist their shiny-ness! And they were all Girly Bits Cosmetics polishes... I guess she could be a walking ad for them. :)
I used Downtown Funk for the wings. January Morning is the pretty white holo behind the half butterfly. Well Isn't That Special is the purple in the wings of the half butterfly.
For the outlines and dots I used black and white acrylic paints and my favorite super tin brush.
I just can't stop looking at this one! Partly because I like how the design turned out, but also because of the sparkle....
Anyway, I sculpted these out (they are acrylic nails, which I don't think I mentioned). Looking at the pictures, I'd love to go back and reshape a couple; some of them look a little fatter than the others. But it's not too bad. Picky Sarah strikes again!
Well, that was a super distracted post. If you can get past all the "I love holos" it might be an intelligible post!
I hope you all have a fantastic week!
I like the idea of butterflies on one`s nails! I`m sorry I cannot draw such design by myself. I think I`ll make an appointment (via nail salon websites ) to get "butterfly manicure"!
