Nail Art: Winged Tips

The gloomy weather compelled me to experiment with nail art techniques and give the greyness of the day a colour boost.

With a handful of temporary butterfly tattoos at home (I've always been a fan of temporary tattoos. I'm still waiting for the day to pick up the nerve to really get inked, though. Why? Needles terrify me.), I managed to use them as nail decals.

I wouldn't say that this is an easy technique, cos it could be easy for some, while it could also be tricky for others. But it could be worth your while if you want to try something different, and not to mention, cheaper than those nail art salon services and pricey nail stickers sold in shops.

Winged Tips

What you need:

-Top and Base Coat Nail Polish
-White Nail Polish
-Nail Polish Remover
-Temporary Butterfly Tattoos
-Scissors
-Some Water
-Cotton Swab
-Tissue

*Note: Clean your hands and nails thoroughly, before applying the base coat. Also get rid of
old nail polish stains on your nails.

*Note: Make sure to brush a smooth surface to work on, so you won't have any problems
once you get to the tattoo transferring part.

*Note: Keep the other half, so in case something goes wrong with the transfer, you have some
kind of a "backup".

*Note: DO NOT cut the tattoos with the exact same size as your nails. You don't want any
white spaces. 

*Note: Don't soak the tattoo for too long.

*Note: The tattoo could slip off and ruin the transfer, so make sure you hold it in place with
a firm grip.

*Note: Apply the top coat carefully, so you won't scrape the design off your nail.
