  • UV/LED Curing Lamp
  • Emerald Green Gel Polish
  • Fuchsia & Blush Pink Gel Polishes
  • White Detail Gel Paint
  • Gold Metallic Gel Paint or Gold Transfer Foil
  • Fine Liner Brush & Dotting Tool
  • Non-Wipe Gel Top Coat
  1. Prep nails, apply base coat, and cure. Apply two thin coats of emerald green gel polish, curing after each layer.
  2. Using a fine liner brush and fuchsia pink gel, carefully paint the outlines of your flowers, then fill them in with blush pink. Add small white dots or lines for dimension using a dotting tool or fine brush.
  3. With gold metallic gel paint or gold transfer foil, meticulously create the delicate butterfly shapes. If using foil, apply a foil gel, cure, and press the foil over the cured design.
  4. Add any final white highlights or deeper pink shadows to enhance the flowers and details, curing thoroughly.
  5. Apply a high-gloss, non-wipe gel top coat over the entire design, ensuring full coverage to protect the art. Cure for the recommended time (60-90 seconds for most lamps).
  6. Cleanse the nail area with alcohol if using a wipe-off top coat and finish with cuticle oil for hydration.

Expert Tip

For perfectly crisp lines and intricate details, ensure your brushes are clean and loaded with just the right amount of gel paint – not too much to avoid flooding, and not too little to prevent dragging. Work in thin layers and cure frequently to lock in each element.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will this intricate design last?

With proper application and aftercare, this gel design can last typically 3-4 weeks without chipping or fading, especially with a professional top coat.

Can I get this design done with regular polish?

While possible, the intricate details and vibrant color saturation are best achieved and last much longer with gel polish. Regular polish may chip faster and require more touch-ups.

Is the gold butterfly detail actual metal?

Typically, the gold butterfly is created using either metallic gold gel paint, gold pigment, or thin gold transfer foil, providing a smooth finish, not a raised metal piece.

How can I make the pink flowers stand out more?

For added pop, consider outlining the flowers with a very fine white or black detail line, or adding tiny crystals to the center of each flower for extra sparkle.

Can this design be customized for shorter nails?

Yes, it can! The intricate details may need to be scaled down or simplified slightly, perhaps fewer flowers per nail, but the essence of the design can certainly be adapted for shorter lengths.

Will the green stain my natural nails?

No, when applied correctly over a base coat, the **green** gel polish should not stain your natural nails. The base coat acts as a protective barrier.

Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent chipping or breaking the intricate design.
  • Moisturize your hands and nails regularly to keep them healthy and extend the life of your manicure.
  • If a small chip occurs, visit your nail technician promptly for a repair to prevent further damage.

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file off the top coat and any major embellishments to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak your nails in acetone for 10-15 minutes, ensuring the product is fully saturated.
  • 3.Carefully push off the softened gel with a wooden or metal cuticle pusher, avoiding scraping or forcing.
