Day 15: Delicate Print (31-Day Nail Art Challenge)

Time for another exciting challenge! Today's challenge is about delicate prints. The first thing that came to my mind was lace pattern. Lace is so intricate and needs a lot of details. I also thought of flowers, but because yesterday's challenge is about flowers, I thought of doing a different one. I don't want to do the same theme 2 days in a row. Now, when you think of flowers, what's the next thing that you would probably think of? Butterflies! So, that's how I got my inspiration for today's challenge.
I started with a white base color, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On. Then, using the tip of a cosmetic sponge, I put a little of China Glaze Hanging in the Balance which is a blue crème color. I just dabbed a little on my nails, diagonally. Third step, using a black polish, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out, I painted the right side of my nails on a curved manner. This serves as the edge of my butterfly wings. To add a little detail on the edge of the wings, I drew small yellow lines using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow. For the details of the wings, I just drew a black outline using Black Out and a dotting tool. After doing the outline, I realized that the blue gradient was too faint so I decided to add a little more blue polish near the yellow polish. Here's my Butterfly Wings:
