I don't do french manicures very often mostly because to be honest I feel like the lighter colors show every single flaw (bubble or nick or streak) unlike the darker colors that hide them a little more. But this week I decided to do a little twist on the traditional french manicure. I saw this design on Tartofraise's web site and thought it was so cute. It was my first time using the Konad nail art stamper that I have had for awhile. I haven't used it until now because I actually have alot of fun doing the handpainted work that I usually do but I think the butterfly turned out really cute. I created the dots with a medium sized dotting tool that is easily found on ebay and used it to outline the "smile line" at the bottom of the french. I finished the look with a diamond on each nail. I hope you enjoy this week's design and thanks for reading! Have a good week.
