Valley of butterflies


Many visitors come in Rhodes to enjoy nature's beauty and see the butterflies in millions, staying still and covering entire trees. Butterflies have to keep their energy during this final stage, so visitors are requested to keep quit and not disturb them. Any noise may force them to fly away, consuming their last energy resourses, and cause their early death..

The amazing thing about it, is that they are everywhere..! Perfect weather conditions and place offer butterflies and guests a must-go destination.

I saw a picture shared by a facebook friend and nail artist from Rhodes, Katerina Atsa, and I was totally inspired. So I tried to make my butterflies everywhere but, as in real valley of butterflies, becoming one with the background. I hope you like it..

"Sorbet" - Gradient and easy one stroke butterflies

I know most people don't like yellow polish as a base color, or wouldn't like it to be at the cuticle area, but this one is realy "soft". I added a solomon gradient (with some purple, because it came out almost orange over the yellow) and green french tip. Then I made what I consider to be the easiest one stroke butterflies, ever:) I hope you like it.

I alreay have uploded the tutorial on youtube:  http://youtu.be/ZQcVdeHgn5Y
