Butterflies are a symbol of tenderness, lightness and femininity. The image of these colorful and surprisingly attractive insects can be found everywhere - in clothes, accessories and even in makeup. Butterfly manicure is an interesting nail art idea. After all, it involves a variety of shapes and colors, and in terms of complexity it can be both quite simple, accessible to beginners, and very difficult, which only painstaking professionals can do. In the article you will find many beautiful options for how to make a Butterfly Nails manicure. They will inspire you to create your masterpieces.
Special finger
The easiest way to do a butterfly manicure is to limit yourself to drawing on only one nail. As a rule, this honor falls on the ring finger.
The rest of the nails can be styled differently:
- The easiest way to do a classic French manicure. The pattern on one nail is a fun way to diversify it.
- Can donon-standard jacket in tones that match the butterfly. For example, change the color of the tip of the nail, or additionally bring a "smile".
- But such a manicure with butterflies and rhinestones is also available for beginners, but still it is not as simple as it might seem. Note the gradient on the wings of the insect and the clear, even stripes on the thumb. They will have to work carefully, but the other three nails are done pretty quickly.
- You can repeat the simplified version of the pattern on the rest of the nails. If you are not very good at drawing, then it is best to visit a nail salon to repeat such a manicure, as it requires experience and accuracy. Otherwise, the effect of the similarity of the main pattern and details on the rest of the nails will be lost, and the idea will lose its attractiveness.
One is good, two is better
You can paint only two nails, for example:
- Decorate two nails with a pattern, and paint and decorate the rest in the same style, but with different patterns.
- Or make a jacket with bright tips and beautiful patterns that also look unusual. And so that the manicure with butterflies does not look overloaded, and so that the drawings do not get lost on a bright background, you can cover the nails without patterns entirely with varnish, and make the nails with butterflies in the style of a French manicure.
- These options are also made on the basis offrench:But since they require a fair amount of effort to create a pattern, it will be difficult to repeat them on your own, and you will need to contact a nail salon.

- You can approach the task outside the box, and place the butterfly on two adjacent nails. But you need to carefully consider the drawing so that even when the fingers are not closed together, the insect looks attractive, not strange.
Sense of proportion
If you have a firm, well-filled hand, then you can try to do a more complex manicure. The butterfly pattern on all nails looks very impressive:
It is important to choose harmonious colors so that the nails do not look gaudy, and work very carefully. Compare these two manicures:
One looks pretty while the other looks more like a kindergarten drawing.

Black and white colors, as well as glitter, are used to outline the designs. Thanks to calm shades, even the presence of twodifferent animalistic patterns and the butterflies themselves do not make this manicure tasteless, but rather very elegant and thoughtful.
Fluttering beauty
Butterfly manicure also has such a direction as nail art with a pattern of butterfly wings. It requires skill and patience in its creation, but it looks very impressive. It looks good on plain nails too (especially when the color is a glittery base or an unusual shade), but the gradient effect finish makes it really sophisticated and dressy.
If you are not successful with color transitions, then you can simplify your task a little and use magnetic varnish. When using a spatula with diagonal stripes, the pattern lays down beautifully without much effort and looks quite impressive.
Master class
Let's look at how to make a beautiful manicure with Danaida Monarch butterfly wings step by step.
To create it you need:
- a clean piece of makeup sponge;
- nail polish (yellow, orange, black, white, clear);
- base and top coat for nails;
- thin brush for nail art;
- nail polish remover;
- cotton buds;
- toothpicks.
Working order
- Cover your nail with a base coat so that the bright colors of the lacquer do not leave stains on the nail plate. In addition, this manicure with butterflies will last longer.
- Apply 2 coats of yellow polish. Wait for it to completelydry.
- On a makeup sponge, apply two strips of varnish - orange and yellow. They should soak the porous surface well.
- Apply the sponge to the nail, then pat the colors together. Let them dry for 1 minute, and then repeat the operation, but position the sponge diagonally with respect to the nail.
- Apply a coat of clear polish. It will allow you to even out the color of the gradient and smooth out the bumps left after the sponge. This will make it easier to apply the pattern on the nails. After the nail polish dries, remove the excess left on the cuticle with a Q-tip and nail polish remover.
Fine work
Go to drawing:
- Draw a rounded line from the cuticle. Draw thinly, without pressure.
- From it make 3 lines, a little short of the edges of the nail.
- Cover the 2 sections of the picture with rounded lines.
- Now you can fill the sketch with black varnish. Circle the nail around the perimeter, finish 2 more sections of the butterfly wing, paint over the tip of the nail with black.
- Draw thin lines to make them look richer.
- Dip a toothpick in white polish and dot along the edge of the nail.
- Wait until everything is dry and then apply the top coat.
After that, the manicure is ready.
