Monarch Butterfly Wing Nail Art

You know that moment when the clinic says that there's a two hour wait, only to return after two hours and there's another 45 minutes wait? Yeah? Yeah. Anyway while I was waiting I ended up buying some Heys luggage from Winners where I continued to panic on whether or now I should check a bag. (My BFF suggested that I do since it's a month long trip.) All ironic because by the time I got to the doctor, I was in a frenzy and I just needed a refill on my Ativan. How about that! Anyway, it's Monday so now it's time for Shitty Nail Art Monday, I am gonna bring it all back!



Here's some Monarch Butterfly Wing nail art! I had originally made these for the "animal print" challenge that Caitlin and I were going to do but ultimately like my leopard design more. I made this design by painting my nails all white, then sponging a gradient using Color Club Daisy Does It and Color Club Berry and Bright. I painted the black art with a fine nail art brush and then used a dotting tool for the white detailing.



Here's a list of all the materials I used for this nail art:

+ dotting tool
+ fine nail art brush
+ make-up sponge
+ Zoya Snow White
+ Color Club Daisy Does It (yellow)
+ Color Club Berry and Bright (red)
+ OPI Black Onyx (black)

I'm not completely thrilled with the outcome of this but it was a first attempt and I've been practising with a striper brush (OMG WHY DIDN'T I DISCOVER IT SOONER) and could probably do a better job next time. Hopefully, anyway. Here's some more shots:
