Hi Goddesses
Those of you who know me and talk to me on Facebook, are well aware that I am quite a random person. Quirky things happen to me, I can find the comedy in any disaster, and I am quite delighted by unplanned and fortuitous events.
Such as this ..... All along, I planned to do a skittle for this mani. Various shades of hot pink and bright purple, all pulled together with the butterfly motif. But then .... drops voice ... a couple of weeks ago, as I was photographing the amazing Ozotic 521 in the garden, a butterfly settled beside me as I snapped, and an idea was born ......
So, here you have my butterfly mani - over Oh-zotic 521. I think it's a GENIUS of a happy accident, there's just something about that duochrome shift which perfectly mimics the delicacy and beauty of a butterfly's wings.
I was also a diligent Crumpet for this. I pulled up my pinterest board and painstakingly drew out the design using my new favourite toy, China Glaze INK. Being a clumsy Crumpet, I cannot, for the life of me, do nail art with nail brushes. Don't know why, but life is too short for me to continue to care. Usually I use a dotting tool, but I knew for this I was going to have to man up.
This is basically a striper brush, sitting in a dinky nail polish bottle. It applies FLAWLESSLY - hell, even when I used it, it looks good! It's a dream to manoeuvre round the nail, provides crisp opaque lines, and is everything you could want from a black nail art thingy. If only they did more colours, sigh.
So, butterflies, loving it, and rather shocked that it looks so good :)
Have a great weekend :) enjoy xx
