NOTD - Butterfly Wing Nails & Tutorial!

Hello there lovely readers!

Its been a wee while since I've done a step by step nail art pictorial so I thought I'd rectify that today with some Butterfly Wing nails :) 

I've seen this nail design many times & its one I've been itching to try. Not only is it super pretty but so easy to do as well!

For the base colour of my butterfly wing nails I used this simply stunning beauty by 2TrueCosmetics, shade 6 from their limited edition Crystal Collection which is a stunning burnt orange & fuchsia pink duo-chrome shimmer. The colour shift is so prominent & eye catching, I adore it!

To start I applied two coats of this gorgeous polish which applied beautifully & dried in super quick time, I am most impressed with 2TrueCosmetics polish range which retail for a bargainous £1.99 & can be found in Superdrug.

Now to begin creating the design, I grabbed my nail art brush & some black polish & started off by drawing a quarter moon circle at the bottom left hand corner of the nail near the cuticle before adding on four curved lines from the quarter moon going about ¾ of the way down the nail...

Then using a black nail art pen I joined the four lines at the bottom to creating my curved edge wing shape...

Going back in with the black polish & brush I then filled in the remainder of the nail to the tips...

Then grabbing my white nail art pen, I added lots of little white dots to the black tips of the wing. 

After a quick clean up job around the edges using a thin brush & some acetone, I finally applied a nice thick coat of topcoat to finish & thats it! Pretty butterfly wings ready to fly!

Hope you like! Thanks as always for stopping by!

Lotsa love to ya!
