Nail Art: Colorful Butterfly Tips

I have always been fascinated with butterflies. They are simply beautiful. It is disappointing that I haven't done a lot of butterfly inspired nail designs. I have one to share with you today and hopefully I'll be able to share more.


Colorful Butterfly Tips Nail Art Design by Simply Rins

If you browse my nail art designs, you'll probably notice my preference for creating designs on or near the free edge. I personally have short nail beds and nail art on tips gives an illusion of longer nails. This colorful butterfly nail art is no exception. I hand painted the butterflies on the tip of my nails for this design.



I used 2 coats of OPI Russian Navy as background color. Bottle color looks like a dark purple but finishes as midnight blue in actuality. I used acrylic paints for painting the butterflies.

Since I decided on a dark base color, I thought pastel colors for the butterflies would make them stand out. I also chose to just paint a silhouette instead of adding details to the butterfly. I know, I was a little lazy. But honestly, I figured a silhouette would look classy.



I used the same color pattern for the butterflies on both hands. If you would like to try this nail design, you may want to attempt to use different colors for every nail.

Oh, and I hope you liked that chunky butterfly ring I wore for the photos. :)
