the magic of butterfly nails ???????????? #nailart #nailtutorial #diynailsathome #nails

These butterfly nails might be the best nails I've ever done, ???????? I've already had them on for a week and they still look SO GOOD. This nail art design may not be very easy but what makes it easier is the used of stamping polish to do the linework. Why? Stamping polish has a longer dry time so that it doesn't dry before you pick it up with a stamper, which means you also have more time to work with it when using it for complicated looks like this! And if you don't want to smudge your nails art (be real, who does?) use a water-based no smudge topcoat, let that dry, and THEN go in with your quick dry topcoat. My go to lately has been @essieUSA Gel Couture (it's not gel) because it's very voluminous and SO shiny. I was going to mention the stamping polish / no smudge topcoat in this video but just found out some information about several shady things this brand has done so I will not be giving them any free promo. :/
