Stamped Butterfly Wing Nails

I was over my KC It Purple and FP Motley mani and I wanted to try out the butterfly wing stamp on the Vivid Lacquer  002 plate.

It needed a little bit more after that so I applied teal hex glitters and covered them with some L.A. Colors iridescent glitter.

I have to say, this butterfly wing mani was WAY easier than the freehand version.  The wing image is a little large and I beleive that Vivid Lacquer added a smaller wing image on her newest plates.

Anyway...what's better than glittery, sparkly butterfly wings?  Nothing!

Funky Egyptian Scarab Nails

I pinned the bracelet below thinking it was a cool piece of jewelry but was then inspired to do some nails with the scarab.

I started out with two coats of Boom Boom over Orly Bonder.  I really didn't want to have red nails so I used hot pink as my background color.   I then traced out the scarab body in Taylor.  I lined the body details with Gold Coin.  I used Teal Envy to draw in the legs.  Last, I applied a top coat to each nail.

I love these funky nails!  Now I really want that bracelet:0)
