Black Butterfly

     I have never been good at drawing yet I really wanted to get a butterfly mani done so I sucked up my no art having nerves and decided to try it on my nails.

     I first purchased some art brushes from my local art supply store. I first painted my nails two tone using Sally Hansen Blizzard Blue and Zoya Faith.

     I then took Wet n Wild Black Crème (424a) and painted the nail at a angle first. I took the 1/10 brush and then drew a arch from left to right mimicking a half moon or crescent moon. I then drew lines from the angle to the arch (generally about three to four lines only). You will have to go over the lines and the arch twice to make it as dark as the slant at the top of the nail. I made the dots using my dotting tools and Wet n Wild French White (449c).

     I think not to bad for my first try. Practice always makes perfect so I can not wait to do this one again.

As you know Keep On Polishing.
