Living in Southern California doesn't expose you to much of the Autumn season so I thought I'd bring the Autumn to my nails. With this easy fall leaves nail art anyone can have their very own piece of Autumn. The look is basically an abstract fall leave placed at the tip of the nail to give a french manicure like feeling.
To see how this came together see below...
Ingredients I Used:
Base Coat - Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler , sold at Sally's Beauty Supply
Nail Polish - Julie G Nail Polish in Liquid Metal, Sugar Rush, Gift Wrapped
Top Coat - Julie G Top Coat Jet Set
Tools: Toothpick or Dotting Tool
Here's how I did it:
Step 2: Using a toothpick or dotting tool, create the outline to your fall leave. I placed dots of polish starting at the middle of my nail and worked out towards the end. I connected each dot together with a small line which dipped in slightly.
Step 3: Using either your dotting tool or nail polish brush fill in the leaf outline all the way to the end of your nail. You have now created the base of your leaves.
Step 4: Using the toothpick or dotting tool again you will need to outline your leaves with a contrasting nail color. Begin with the tops of your leaves and then draw a vein through the middle of the leaf. Don't forget to add a few smaller veins coming off of the main vein to give it a more leaf-like appearance.
Step 5: Seal in the whole design with a quick drying top coat. I used the Julie G Jet Set. This top coat will help to blur any lines that aren't even, it will give the nail a beautiful shine and it'll help your manicure looking newer, longer.
This look took about 15 minutes from beginning to end. If you try out this design please email me a picture at makeupmaiworld@gmail.com or tag me on instagram @makeupmaiworld
