Butterfly Nails!

Rating = **

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• 'Collection 2000 Manicure 103 French White'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 030 Double Decker Red'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 080 Black Cab'
• 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'
• 3D Nail Seal stickers
• Sellotape (sorry, I left it out of the picture!)
• A cocktail stick
• A dotter made from a hairbrush (it is cheaper!)

Step 1

Paint your nails white. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Place a piece of sellotape diagonally across half of your nail. Paint the uncovered half red. Carefully peel off the sellotape immediately. Tidy up the line by using the cocktail with a small amount of white nail varnish on it. If you end up with a patch that is a lot thicker than the rest, carefully use the white varnish brush to go over it to make it the same thickness.

Step 3

Carefully peel off a butterfly sticker and place it along the line on your ring finger, on the red side. If you don't have stickers, then you can use a thin brush and the black nail varnish to paint your own butterfly.

Step 4
 

Using the dotter, put 3-5 dots down the line on each finger except the fingers with the butterflies on. Add 2-3 dots behind the butterfly, along the line too.

Step 5

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.

My next post will be Bumble Bees!
