What do you need?
So, let's look at how to create a butterfly on nails step by step. First you need to collect all the necessary arsenal with which to create a nail design. First you need to prepare:
- a flat brush with a flat or beveled edge;
- special tool for nails - dots;
- a short-hair brush of the "hair" type;
- fixer;
- varnishes.
Preparatory stage
In this case, the butterfly on the nails will be made partially using the Chinese painting technique . Before proceeding directly to nail art, you should prepare your nails and process the cuticle. A traditional classic manicure or a more gentle European one must be done. Also, it is advisable to treat the nail plates with a special degreasing liquid. Thanks to this, the coating will last longer, and the hands will get a well-groomed appearance.
Create a drawing
Let's look at how a butterfly on nails is born, step by step.
1. First, a base coat is applied to the nail plate. If it is assumed that the manicure will have a gentle and restrained style, then pastel shades are perfect. It can be a classic or intricate service jacket. In the event that you want the butterfly on the nails to attract attention, it is better to use the basis of a bright or saturated tone. Only at the same time, do not forget about the same color in clothes or accessories. Drawing must begin when the base is completely dry. Using a palette or plastic base, two shades should be applied for the future moth. Then you need to take a flat brush and type on one corner - the first color, on the opposite - the other. Thus, two shades will appear on the instrument at once.
2. Having decided on the place where the butterfly will live on the nails, you should put the radius of the future wing inside with the short side of the brush. The angle of the long pile will rotate along the trajectory of the circle. The center or axis is the short edge of the brush. Thus, the base of the winglet will have one color, and from the middle to the end - the second. In this case, the transition between tones will turn out in the form of a gradient.
3. Next, use a thin brush to apply a black or dark, saturated shade from the palette, along the contour of the wing, highlighting its outline. This will give the moth realism and visual volume. Thin lines inside the wing need to draw veins.
4. Now it's time to use the nail dots. At the base of the wing, along the proposed growth line, points of the color that were used to draw the outline of the image are plotted. This line of small peas will mark the body of the moth. With a thin brush, having typed the same color, we draw graceful antennae. On the outer edge of the wing, on a dark or black line of the outline, you can apply light dense points to give the picture volume and brightness.
5. To make the butterfly on the nails even more expressive, you can decorate it with rhinestones or glitter. For the long-lasting durability of the manicure, according to tradition, the final coating is applied - top or fixative.
Conclusion
If you have step by step instructions on how to draw a butterfly on the nails, the process of creating the perfect manicure does not seem so difficult. A little more imagination, as well as practice, and do-it-yourself moths will not differ from salon drawings. Such a manicure will easily cheer you up, because the beauty, grace or amusement of a butterfly touches you at first sight.
