Celebrating Spring with Butterfly Wings and Zoya's Gabrielle

Hello! I'm so happy that spring is here. Now, if it could only FEEL like it in NW Indiana I would be even happier. Even if it doesn't feel like spring, I can still wear it on my nails!

This was my first attempt at trying to do butterfly wings, so I must admit I was really scared that it would turn out horrible since my free hand skills aren't the best. I must admit, I am in love with this, borderline obsessed. I literally can't stop staring at my hand in disbelief. I can't wait to try this design over even more colors!  

I used what seemed like a billion but was probably more like 5 coats of the Dots nail polish called Light Orange on my thumb, pointer, and pinkie finger. Then I used only two coats of the Dots nail polish in Neon Orange on my middle and ring  finger. Once that dried I put a thin coat of Zoya's Gabrielle on all my fingers which gave it a really  iridescent glittery sheen. I especially liked it over the light orange. This really helped to mute the neon colors a bit. Then I used the black nail art paint to draw the lines for the wings. I actually managed to do my left and right hand reasonably similar even though I am right handed so I was THRILLED! Lastly I used my dotting tool and the white nail art paint to make the dots. What do you think?

Hope everyone gets some sunshine today! Until next time, XOXO
