This is a step by step tutorial on how to make a 3d butterfly.

• Apply the acrylic base colour of you choice (I choose glitter blue)
• Place a medium bead of you choosen coloured acrylic for the wings.
• Push you brush in at the left side to make asort of curve (shape of the wing)
• Repeat again for the other wing but indent on the right side this time
• If you wish to design the wings with acrylic do so now
• I placed a bead of red at the top of the wings and a line of yellows at the bottom
• On you clients nail draw a line with the choosen coloured acrylic for the butterflies body. I choose black and push you two wings into the acrylic until it sets
• Once set place a black bead of acrylic at the top of the butterly to create a head
• Once acrylic has set use a nail art dotter tool or nail art pen and draw some eyes on your butterfly

And there is your 3d butterfly
