Step 1
Apply two coats of The Gel Bottle's shade, Almond.
Step 2
Choose your butterfly decal and cut around it as close as you can. Wet the back of the paper and after a few seconds, the decal will slide off the back of the paper. Apply to the nail.
Step 3
Using a liner brush, draw a stem using the shade Mint from the Macaroon Acrylic Paint Collection and paint some leaves.
Step 4
Using a liner brush, make some flowers using the shades Strawberry, Lavender and Blueberry from the Macaroon Acrylic Paint collection.
Step 5
Using a small dotting tool, apply Dakota Nail Products & Education's Metallic Acrylic Paint in the shade Sand, placing small dots to the middle of the flowers and randomly around the butterfly. Leave to dry then finish by applying a top coat.
