These are my butterfly wing nails. They are inspired by a design I saw painted by Wah Nails which is a nail art salon in London which I love! I have just got some new Wah nail art pens so this is my first time testing them out. For the base colour I used a shiny pink OPI Polish called A-Rose By Dawn Broke By Noon. This design looks great with a glittery or shiny polish as the base colour and it looks good with different colour combinations if you're not a fan of pink. I would recommend the Wah Nails art pens, they have a fairly fine tip so you are able to draw intricate lines and they have a thin striper brush inside. They are good quality nail art pens compared to other brands I have tried and the polish inside them gives good coverage.
How to get this look:
Start with a base coat and then apply two coats of shiny pink polish.
Now using a black nail art pen, draw a thin black outline right around the edge of the nail on every side.
Then in the centre of the left side draw three lines spreading outwards until they reach the right side of the nail (one line straight across the middle one below and one above.)
Once you have the basic lines you slowly fill in more black so you leave a rounded shape in each pink section, try to create a tear drop shape. So you should be left with four pink tear drop shapes on the nail, if your black outline is not neat or you have over outlined you can use a wooden cuticle stick to gently push back the black line to make it look smoother and neat.
When you are happy with the shapes use a white nail art pen or a dotting tool to draw spots on the black parts of the nail. You can do different size dots and different patterns on each nail they don't all have to be the same.
Finish by applying a top coat.
