Butterfly Nail Art: Flutter into Spring

Step-by-Step Guide
1. Begin by prepping the nails. Push back the cuticles and shape the nails into a chic square with softly rounded edges. This creates the perfect canvas for your nail art.
2. Apply two coats of a pinky coral polish, ensuring each coat dries completely. This shade serves as a perfect backdrop for the butterfly design.
3. Using a thin brush and some purple polish, paint the butterfly wings. Take your time to create intricate details with each stroke.
4. Finish off with a top coat for a glassy finish and apply cuticle oil to keep nails hydrated.
Voila! You’re now ready to flaunt your butterfly nails, perfect for sparking conversations wherever you go. Celebrate beauty and playfulness in one go!

Try the reverse French manicure for a fresh spin on an all-time classic. This design provides a touch of elegance that perfectly complements your client’s spring nail look.
Application Steps
1. Start with nail preparation, gently pushing back cuticles, and removing excess for a clean look. Shape the nails into an almond form to achieve a delicate, elongated appearance.
2. Apply two coats of a lilac polish, letting each layer dry entirely. This vibrant choice screams spring.
3. Next, take a medium to dark grey polish on a thin brush and start from the nail bed, sweeping up to the edge for a swooping effect.
4. Seal the design with a shiny top coat and finish with cuticle oil for maximum hydration.
