hi, i'm new to the nail art scene just mastered the 3d flowers (well, just about) and wondered if anyone has any simple ideas on 3d butterflys to get me started. thankyou. xx:)
 
Have a look in my album as I did some 3D butterflies on my own nails for my 21st, if you like them let me know and ill tell you how I did them.
If you dont like them I wont be offended...it was my first attempt!!

I will show you a piccie of some i did that were simple to do, i did them on a sheet, then used some adhesive to stick them on the nail. I just did two beads one slightly bigger than the other, together, then did a long thin bit for the body, so quite simple. HTH's

ah yeah theyre lovely, look complicated though. did they take you a long time? x
 
What I would do is go to artnails.com and by thier nail art stuff. They show you different shapes you can make with thier brushes. once you get the shapes down with paint, you can see how you would have to design the wings and body of a butterfly. Simply make the same shape with your acrylic one wing at a time and build your butterfly one section at a time. I wound start by making the wings almost touching, and then make the body in the center but ontop of the wings. I think that would make it look even more 3d. If your not good with blending colors, just paint the butterfly and cap it with gel, or top coat, or clear acrylic.
