Let your fingers flutter with this cute butterfly-wing design.

The products I used were:

base coat - Sally Hansen Miracle Cure,
yellow - Sally Hansen Insta-dry in Lighting,
orange - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed,
red - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Kook-A-Mango,
pink shimmer - OPI Princesses Rule!,
top coat - Konad Top Coat.

I used a plastic pick from Konad as my small dotting tool, but a tooth pick would work just as well. For the larger dots, I bent open a hair pin and used the little bubble on the end. If you've got real dotting tools, go ahead and use those, otherwise - improvise! The ends of paintbrushes or ball point pens that have dried up can work too.

Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    Paint your nails solid yellow.

  2. Step 2 2

    Sponge on orange two thirds the way up your nails.

  3. Step 3 3

    Sponge on red below the orange.

  4. Step 4 4

    Fill in the tips with red and let dry.

  5. Step 5 5

    Add a coat of transparent pink shimmer polish over the entire nail. This helps blend the colors together.

  6. Step 6 6

    Your canvas is now ready for the wing details!

  7. 7

    Use a black striper polish for the veins in the wings and a dotting tool with white polish for the spots. Seal with a good top coat.

    Here is the video with all the instructions from start to finish; how to paint the wing details included. This is your next step, and it is easiest to explain by viewing it in action. :)
