I love a good butterfly manicure. Especially the full-wing kind. I tried to keep this manicure as simple as possible because I had a lot of sewing to do for a steampunk convention. Sometimes simple works. I’ve seen people free-hand the wings really well, but I had a stamping plate with two options so I used that instead. Layered over a good jelly glitter, I think it really pops. I just wish I’d taken better photos of it. :p
