Butterflies aglow

Hello ladies,

Today I am wearing a purple foil polish appropriately named gorgeous! The P2 brand even added the exclamation point for us. The color is indeed quite a wonder.

I stamped butterflies from Konad plate M76 in pastel green special polish. Instead of centering the pattern, I let the butterflies flit about my nails in various directions. I was in the mood for whimsy on my fingertips. I added a pale green rhinestone to each nail to form the body of the butterfly.



My owl ring returns. These are the bluest flowers I have ever seen in Nature!

P2 gorgeous! was opaque in two coats. Even with quick dry topcoat, the dry time seemed longer than usual. The incredible sheen of this purple foil makes such things inconsequential. I would advise avoiding painting your nails with gorgeous! right before bedtime. Otherwise, this polish is perfection.

Konad plate M76 was sent to me for consideration. Konad products can be purchased at ocnailart.com.

P2 is a European brand that made it's way across the ocean to me via the generousity of amused Polish. I can't thank her enough for sharing such loveliness.

Happy painting, ladies!

    I love doing designs a little helter skelter, my favorite konad to do that with is the music notes I just erase the treble clef on all nails besides my thumb and it looks like its running across my nails ( i have a picture on my facebook but that is not to helpful here:S)

  4. Jessica: Thanks so much! My inner Virgo needs to resist the urge to center Konad designs more often. ;)

    Evil Angel: Thanks, sweetie! Ah, purple! <3
