Butterfly wings

Here is a bit of sponged and stamped nail art.  I created the sponged design using three of the Sally Hansen Lustre Shine polishes and China Glaze Want My Bawdy.  Rather than creating a gradient down the nail, I created a four way quadrant sponged design.  I like how this gave the wings a different look compared to a normal gradient.

The stamping plate that I used was the Vivid Lacquer plate VL004, but I believe this image is available on other brand plates too.  I also used my new sticker XL stamper that I got from Messy Mansion.  I'm going to have to a bit of a tutorial on it, because it's totally changed the way I stamp.  I'm finally able to stamp designs on my nail lined up correctly, and its all because of that extra squishy, sticky stamper.

This was such a beautiful mani and I received so many comments about it.  People thought I painted the black wing lines free hand, and they also had no idea how I got the multicoloured background!

I've been really lemming the two Chanel shades Azure and Bel-Argus.  I would have loved to create this butterfly wing mani using polishes from the L'Ete Papillon de Chanel (The Summer Butterfly) collection, but I don't think my budget can stretch to those two polishes and will just have to make do with these Sally Hansens and the China Glaze Bohemians.
