Since the weathers been super gorgeous in the Bay Area, I've been inspired by so many designs, photos, and patterns. I have so many ideas floating around in my head, that I can't seem to decided which design to create first! -_-
Speaking of floating, I decided to do a Monarch Butterfly mani. I was inspired by a tote that I saw at Walmart. Then, a few hours later, I found a tutorial on YouTube and I immediately knew that it would be on my top 3 manis! Not to mention the butterflies in the intro of The Secret Life of the American Teenager! Daren Kagasoff, who plays Ricky, is one FINE @$$ boy! 'Scuse the language, but I LOVE him! ;) Anyway, here's my take!
*I've been wearing this mani since Friday, and still no chipping! It's really annonying when you put so much effort into nail art, only to have them chip! I like to wear detailed nail art for at least a week before I remove them. :)
