I have a feeling that my day 2 orange nails are going to be a pretty common design theme for today. Traditional monarch butterfly wings - and I'm not sure why I started the challenge with two butterfly designs.
I actually did a subtle gradient on my nails using Picture Polish Citrus and Ulta 3 Chocolate Cake, but then I wanted sparkle, so I put a layer of Picture Polish Popsicle over the top. Popsicle is pretty sheer, so the gradient still showed through, but it added an amazing orange shimmer.
I stamped the butterfly wing design from Vivid Lacquer plate VL004, it's just the perfect size for my fingers.
Here is a shot with my daughters pet monarch butterfly. Before anyone flames me for keeping a butterfly in a jar, know that it's electronic. Check my instagram account later tonight for a video of the butterfly and my nails in action.
I like this one, it's really nice :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I also did monarch butterfly nails for day 2! I won't have mine up until later tonight though.
ReplyDelete(I'm actually a little worried about the photo- I only managed two before my camera battery died and I am not sure if they're any good!)
These are lovely :)

ReplyDeleteYou're right--I did butterflies too! :-D
ReplyDeleteThat is aboslutely lovely! I do love butterflies. The last one was absolutely lovely too, btw.
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic! An electronic butterfly? Sounds interesting :D
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to do monarch nails today too but I don't have the stamp. I decided against freehanding them, knowing how much better they could look. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteHoly gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice! Love the basecolor for these :).
ReplyDeleteI am dying to try a butterfly mani. Just have to get the stamping plate! This one is lovely.
