Beach Beauty: Supa Dupa Butterfly Toes
As the great Poet, Missy Elliott, once said: “Me I’m supa fly (uh-huh), Supa dupa fly (uh-huh), Supa dupa fly.”
Ok well, I’m not supa fly at all, but my toes are. They look like Monarch butterfly wings, which served as great inspiration for an easy and impressive DIY Pedicure.
Here’s how to get some Supa Dupa Fly toes, in the Monarch sense.
1: Paint toes with a basecoat
2: Paint toes with 2 coats of a very fun, almost onoxiously bright color.
3: Using black nail art polish brush, paint a swipe across the upper inner corner of each toe. Then fill that corner in, this will make a black triangle tip on each nail corner.
4: Still using the black nail art polish, draw 3 lines (big toe) or 2 lines (other toes) that connect the other side of your toe to the black triangle corner.
5: Still using the black nail art polish, curve the area where the line and the black corner intersect, so there now are no straight edges. This makes the black look like the curve pattern of the wings instead of straight edges.
6: Using either white nail art or white polish and a homemade dotting tool, paint dots randomly in the black tip area.
7: Let polish dry then apply a top coat.
8: Watch the video tutorial because I most likely made no sense.
9: Move your toes around as fast as you can and see if they flutter.
Polish used: Illamasqua: Jo’Mina Milani nail art laquer
Time spent. About 8 minutes, no joke. (not including drying time)
