Step 1: Begin by applying a base coat to protect your natural nails. Then choose three colors, (I used pink, purple, and blue) and paint them onto your nails like I did below. If necessary, use two coats of each color for a more opaque look. I used polishes by OPI.
Step 2: When the base colors are dry, use a sparkly coat of glitter for an added effect. (This step is optional). I used a glitter from Sephora.
Step 3: Using a stripper, dotting tool, or a toothpick, create a general outline for the wing of a butterfly. Just copy the outline below. The black polish that I used is by Sally Hansen.
Step 4: Fill in the remainder of the outline at the top with black nail polish. Don't worry about any messiness, as we can fix that later.
Step 5: Using a dotting tool or a toothpick, create different sized white dots on the black outline. Finish off by applying a top coat to seal in the design and add a beautiful shine.
Repeat the same steps for the rest of the nails. You can use the same colors for each nail, or alternate colors like I did below. When you are done, use a cotton swab with nail polish remover to clean up any mistakes and messiness. The design is completed!
This is the final look! I hope that you enjoyed it. Feel free to comment below or leave any questions. I would love to see your recreations of this design! Also, follow me on instagram, at @lisa_xhe
