Monarch Butterfly Nail Art

I know, I know. You've probably seen butterfly nail art a million times. Doesn't mean it still didn't look awesome on me. Just saying. I was going to do a crazy gradient, blah blah blah, but sometimes, simple is better!

I had been saving Rescue Beauty Lounge Santa Fe Road for a Monarch Butterfly manicure. Since then, I acquired the BEAUTIFUL Pure Ice Twinkle, so I decided to alternate oranges, since not all monarchs are the same orange. Two coats of each. Dare I say I liked the formula of the $2 Pure Ice better than the $20 RBL? Both are still gorgeous! The shimmer in Twinkle is much more prominent. Then with a black creme and white creme, I went in with a striping brush and dotting tool.  I'm pretty happy with my precision. Pure Ice Twinkle is on my index and ring nails. RBL Santa Fe Road is on my thumb, middle, and pinky nail.

I loved doing this nail art. I got SO many comments on them. It's amazing how four simple colors can make such awesome art. 

If you wouldn't mind, I've entered a nail art contest (post on the art to come soon), and would appreciate your vote. The link to my entry:
