Spring Flower Nails!

Happy Easter everyone! It's a little late but better late than never, right?

Finished Nails
Tools

Butterflies
I used:
  • Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat
  • Barry M 290 Spring Green
  • Maybelline 720 Green Miracle
  • Rimmel 60 Seconds 703 White Hot Love
  • Rimmel Lasting Colour 280 Sunshine
  • 20/0 Paintbrush
  • Dotting tool (not pictured)
  • 2 Butterflies
  • Tweezers (not pictured) 

Step 1

Paint your nails with the clear top coat.

Step 2

Use the paintbrush to paint the lighter green across the tips of all your nails. Start at the tip and flick the brush up towards the cuticle to get the pointy grass look.


Step 3

Use the paintbrush to paint the darker green over the light green. Don't do too much, you just want it to add depth.


Step 4

Paint the flower petals onto the nails. For each one, start at the centre of the flower and draw the brush outwards. If you can, you may want to practice this before you do it on your nails.



Step 5

Add the centres of the flowers using the yellow and a small dotting tool.




Step 6

Add the butterflies to your thumbs. You could put them on your ring fingers if you wanted but I thought it looked a bit crowded. To do this, paint a small amount of clear nail varnish where you want the butterfly. Pick out a butterfly and place it on the nail. Position it using the tweezers and hold it down (bending it to the shape of the nail) until it no longer slides around. 




Step 7

Paint over the design with the top coat and clean up around it. Make sure to put a little extra over the butterfly, just to make sure it doesn't come off too easily as it does stick up a bit.
