Pink Butterflies on Mint

Yesterday, I mentioned that I used to be happy with just pink nail polishes but now I’m more curious about the colours that I never liked such as purple and green. Well, this is another big step up for me! Those two colours are combined today!!

– Pink Butterflies on Mint Nails –

I used mint green polish from TheFaceShop and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! from OPI as the base, and then I painted the butterfly shapes with
pink metallic polish from TheFaceShop.

I hand painted the details of butterflies using purple and white acrylic paint.

Then I realised that these butterflies are sitting too low, so I decided to add thin french lines to fill the gaps at the top.

What do you think?? I’m still not a huge fan of green polishes, but I think I like these mint and dark green 🙂

Thank you!!

This is really cute!! Yes, it’s busy but in a good way, haha. The French tip was a good and pretty way to fill the gaps on the tips!
