Add butterfly designs.
- Using gold nail polish and a detailing brush, paint small butterfly shapes on the lavender and mint green nails.

Pro Tips
Work in thin layers to ensure quicker drying times between steps.
If you're new to painting detailed designs, practice your flowers on a piece of paper before doing them on your nails.
Use tweezers to help position nail art beads for precision.
Don’t rush the drying process; ensure everything is fully dry to avoid smudging.
For a shinier finish, consider using a glossy top coat instead of a matte one.
