Supplies You'll Need

  • Emerald Green Gel Polish
  • Fuchsia & Pale Pink Gel Polishes
  • Fine-tip Nail Art Brush
  • Gold Butterfly Nail Decals/Foil
  • Glossy Gel Top Coat
  • UV/LED Curing Lamp

How To Recreate It

  1. Perform professional nail prep, apply a gel base coat, and cure under UV/LED lamp.
  2. Apply two thin, even coats of emerald green gel polish, curing each layer thoroughly.
  3. Using a fine-tip brush, hand-paint delicate pink flowers with fuchsia and pale pink polishes, curing after each color application to prevent bleeding.
  4. Carefully place gold butterfly nail decals or apply gold foil details strategically on the green base, ensuring they lay flat.
  5. Seal the entire design with a high-shine glossy top coat, capping the free edge, and cure one final time.
  6. Cleanse any tacky residue with an alcohol wipe for a flawless, vibrant finish.

Expert Tip

For perfectly crisp and secure gold butterfly details, ensure your green base coat is fully cured and completely smooth before application. Apply a very thin layer of builder gel over the decals/foil before your top coat for added longevity and to prevent lifting.

Try These Variations

  • **Ombre Sunset Base:** Swap the green for an ombre blend of orange and pink to mimic a tropical sunset, keeping the pink flowers and gold butterflies.
  • **Monochromatic Green:** Utilize varying shades of green for the flowers, allowing the gold butterflies to be the primary contrasting accent.
  • **Accent Nail Butterflies:** Apply the green base and pink flowers on most nails, reserving a single accent nail for a more elaborate gold butterfly scene or a cluster of them.

Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid prolonged water exposure for the first few hours if non-gel products are used; otherwise, enjoy immediately!
  • Keep your nails and cuticles moisturized to prevent dryness and maintain the flexibility of the polish.
  • Be mindful of bumping or snagging your nails, as the detailed art can be more susceptible to damage.
  • Always return to a professional nail technician for removal to protect your natural nail health.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently buff off the glossy top coat with a fine-grit nail file to break the seal over the design.
  • 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Carefully scrape off the softened gel and art with a wooden cuticle pusher, never forcing the product off.

Daily Maintenance

  • 💅Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your cuticles healthy and extend the life of your vibrant design.
  • 💅Wear gloves when performing household chores or handling harsh chemicals to protect the intricate details.
  • 💅Schedule a professional fill or reapplication every 2-3 weeks to maintain the freshness and integrity of the art.
  • 💅Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent chipping or damage to the delicate design elements.

Common Issues & Fixes

  • **Issue:** Gold butterflies lifting. **Fix:** Ensure the base color is fully cured and dry; apply a thin layer of clear gel/builder over the decal before the final top coat to encapsulate it.
  • **Issue:** Pink flowers bleeding into the green. **Fix:** Apply extremely thin layers of polish for the flowers and cure each color thoroughly before adding the next, allowing for full color isolation.
  • **Issue:** Design chipping prematurely. **Fix:** Proper nail preparation is key; ensure the nail plate is clean and dehydrated, and all edges are capped with base and top coat.
  • **Issue:** Green base appears streaky. **Fix:** Use two thin, even coats of gel polish, ensuring proper cure time for each layer. If polish is too thick, it can cure unevenly.
