NAILS | Monarch Butterfly Nail Art #CBBxManiMonday

Purchased by me

As of right now, 11:45pm on Monday night, I am on vacation to celebrate my birthday! I had a CRAZY Monday for work, but I knew I would so I had prepared myself as best as possible to be completely run off my feet – which I was! I always at least FEEL more put together when I have my ManiMonday done so I decided to take an early Sunday night and start painting around 9pm so that I would have some time to edit the photos for Instagram.

For today’s manicure, I stuck with butterflies as their message of transformation and change has really resonated with me over the last couple of months. This time, I decided to recreate a manicure I have wanted to do since 2012! The Monarch Butterfly manicure dominated the nail art space in its heyday with cutepolish even featuring a tutorial for it! What happened to her anyway? I ended up using this tutorial from Pinterest as the cutepolish one was a bit unrefined for my taste (so snobby, I know) and ended up being really happy with how it turned out!
