Hello ladies,
With the growing profusion of flowers and Spring greenery comes the return of the butterflies. Today's manicure is an homage to these delicate winged creatures and their transformative beauty.
Using green Konad special polish, I stamped the three swirl patterns from image plate T30. The designs reminded me of fern leaves unfurling. I placed fimo butterflies from the Art Club Blue Denim wheel in random flight patterns on each nail. I made jeweled polka dots with green and blue pearls and rhinestones.

Creole Splash is a bright robin's egg blue shade. While the polish is perfectly opaque in two coats, I found the formula difficult to control. It was on the thin side. With a little cleanup, you can still have a pretty manicure.
I hope you enjoyed my Butterfly Fantasia. Are you ladies catching sight of butterflies as you go about your day?

What a beautiful area. Where is it? The manicure is adorable. I like the little fimo butterflies. Nature in all it's glory.
ReplyDeleteLucy: Thanks so much! So glad you like the manicure! I took the photos at a nature center in Bristol, PA. It's amazing this little oasis is only a couple miles from an industrial area.

ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite manis from you! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLovely manicure but, when I was looking to the "soft and cozy flower" I was thinking - It makes me think of caterpillers and I don't know how she has the guts to put her hand in there - and then you put photos of a caterpiller and I was like - *O___O* - *chills down spine* - *quick down scroll* -_-
ReplyDeleteBut the manicure is so beautiful and the other flowers too ^__^
ooh i love the caterpiller!! thanks for the beautiful photos once again darling :)

ReplyDeleteSo whimsical! Oh hey, the commenter above me said so to!
ReplyDeleteDoes it ever get a little irritating having 3D nails? That is, art deco's on your nails that stick up?
