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
