Butterfly Kisses- Butterfly Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today on the M.M.M blog we will be creating a pretty butterfly; a full butterfly on the thumb nail and the butterfly wings on the other nails. This butterfly will be a little bit different from the butterflies that you are use to seeing, these butterflies will be holograph. I thought it would be a different and cool twist on creating butterflies if we use holo polish.   

 Pink Holographic Butterfly Nail Design   


Here are the polishes and tools used for this butterfly nail design:

    

Base and Top Coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polishes- Color Club- Halo's- Cloud Nine, Color Club- Eternal Beauty,Color Club- Halo's- Crystal Baller, Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart, and China glaze- white on white.

Nail art polish- Kiss nail art stripper- Black

Acrylic paint- black

Nail art tools- small dotting tool, long thin stripper brush, and a thin liner brush.

Other- small glass jar with water in it to clean off your brushes.


Let's start this holo butterfly design!   

Always start off with a base coat to protect your nails and to help your design last.

Then paint all of your nails with a pink holographic polish (Color Club- Halo's- Cloud Nine.)  

 Butterfly wings on index, middle, ring, and pinky finger nails.

First we will start off with the wing design on the index, middle, ring, and pinky finger nails. With black acrylic paint and a thin stripper or liner brush ( I ended up switching between the two), first make a curved line near the cuticle.

On the curved line make three or more small lines or dots as a guide to where you are going to make the larger lines for the wings.

Then try to make straight lines going up the nail (I had a little bit of trouble for some reason, my hand kept shaking when I was trying to make the line).

Once you get to the top make a small curved line, after you have one area done go to the next and make the top of the curve a little lower, keep making the curves lower for each part of the wing.

Once you have the wing shapes, take a black polish and fill in the tip of the nail, for the smaller parts you may need to use your black stripper/ nail art polish.

Once the black part has dried, take a small dotting tool with white polish on it and make a few dots along the tip of your nail, I only did three.

Next we will be making the larger butterfly. First we will make the outline of the body, take a thin liner brush with black acrylic paint and draw a thin line down the center, this will be kind of a guide to know where to paint the butterflies wings and be a part of it too.

Then make a curved shape near the bottom right half of the nail tip for it's wing.Then on the other side do the same thing for two wings. 

After that on the top of the wing on the right side, kind of make half of a wing.

On the other side, or above the wing on the left side make another wing, for me I ended up kind of making this wing pointed, you can always try and make it more round like the other wings or the same as I did. 

Now we will add some color into to butterfly, take a purple holographic polish (Color Club- Eternal Beauty) and paint the inside of the wings, once that has dried take a blue holographic polish (Color Club-Crystal Baller) and paint some blue staring in the middle of the wings, only go half way up the wings still leaving some purple showing. 

Once that has dried you may need to re-outline your butterfly with black paint, if the holographic polish covered the outline. 

For the smaller details, first we will make a curved line on the tips of the wings and paint that in with black paint. Then on the wings we will add small lines on the wings, I just made a few thin lines from the center of the wings.

Once the black part on the wings has dried, take a small dotting tool with white polish on it and make a few dots on each part of the wings.

For the final touch just add two lines on top and the center of the butterfly for the antennas.

Once your design has dried apply a top coat to protect you nails and make them even more shinny!

For this design you can use whatever holographic colored polish you would like or any type of polish from cremes, glitters, shimmers, etc. I just thing holo makes any design look more prettier.

Hope all of you enjoyed this holographic butterfly design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
