Autumn Colors- Fall Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be creating a very simple fall nail design, with a fall colored gradient and some black colored leaves and branches, a long with a touch of gold glitter. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this fall nail design-

Top and base coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- Orly- Melting Point- Erupt To No Good, OPI Lisbon- Now Museum Now You Don't, and Holo Taco- 1st Anniversary- Gold Flakie. 

Acyclic paint- Black 

Other- Water for cleaning nail art brushes, makeup sponge for gradients, and liquid latex for easy clean up around the nails.

Apply a top coat to clean dry nails, let that dry.

Polish all of the nails with a shimmer orange (Orly- Erupt To No Good.)

Let that dry. 

Fall Colored Gradient:

First we will start off with a gradient on all of the nails and we will also be doing nail art on all of the nails as well. 

First we need to apply a liquid around the fingers to help with clean up and to make doing gradients much easier. 

For the gradient part take a makeup sponge and polish a brick red polish on the sponge (OPI- Now Museum Now You Don't) and slightly over lapping the polish with the same color that we used as our base color the shimmer orange (Orly- Erupt To No Good.) The brick red should be near the tips of the nails.

Then dab the sponge on to each nail, you will need to repeat this step at least three times to be opaque.  

Once you have finished your gradient peel off your liquid latex with some tweezers. 

For an added touch polish a gold flakie polish over the nails, apply one coat for a subtle gold sparkle. 

Leaves and Branches Design on all of the Nails: 

On all of the nails we will be creating a simple nail design of leaves and branches. Take a thin striper brush with black paint on it and staring near the cuticle, on a corner of the nail, make a long straight line, on the end of the long line that you just made make a leaf shape, then on each side of the long line make a few shorter line and make a leaf shape at the end of those lines. 

On most of the nails I made four of these, also on some of the nails I just made a leaf shape. On almost all of the nails I created two of these design, the only nail that I did one is the pinky nail. 

Once your design is fall ready apply a top coat to seal in your design and add a nice shine to your nails, along with helping them last. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this simple fall nail design and are having a good fall!

Here is the practice version.

See you next time for more nail fun! 

Fall in Paradise- Tropical Nail Design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a nice fall so far. Today on the blog we will be creating one more tropical design, with a fall look to it with three fall like colors to give a fall in paradise look to the nails. I think this is the best way to spend your fall or any season if you can, in paradise, if you can't then this design is perfect for you if you are like me and dream of a tropical vacation year round/ all the time. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this fall in paradise nail look:

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- Holo Taco- Orange Drink- Rainbow Collection, OPI Lisbon- Now Museum Now You Don't, Zoya- Ziv, and Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart. 

Acrylic paint- Black

Nail art brushes- Thin detail and stripper brushes.

Other- Makeup sponge for gradients, Holo Taco liquid latex for easy clean up around the nails, a small cup of water to clean off your nail art brushes. 

Apply a base coat to clean dry nails, then let that dry.

Polish- 

Index and pinky nails- a brick red (OPI- Now Museum Now You Don't)

Thumb, middle and ring finger nails- Orange holographic, this is your base color for the gradient (Holo Taco- Orange Drink.) 

Let that dry.

Sunset Gradient- 

To start off and to make things easy to clean up, if you have a liquid latex apply that around the finger. (I used Holo Taco's) 

For the sunset gradient we will be creating a gold, orange and red gradient for our fall inspired sunset. First take a makeup sponge and first polish a gold polish (Zoya- Ziv), then an orange holo the same color as your base polish color (Holo Taco- Orange Drink), and then a brick red, the same polish you used on the index and pinky nail (OPI- Now Museum Now You Don't). It is ok if the polishes overlap on the sponge, it is actually better if they do overlap, that way the gradient will blend better. 

Then dab the sponge on the thumb, middle, and ring finger nails, you will need to do this a few time to be opaque, I did this three times. 

Once your gradient is just right peel off your liquid latex, if you used one. 

Lastly apply a top coat this helps the gradient to blend better. Let that dry.

Palm Tree Design:

First off on the thumb nail make a large palm tree in the middle of the nail.

For the middle and ring finger nail make two palm trees one on the left side that is tall, then one on the right side that is shorter. 

Then on just the middle and ring finger we will make a small piece of land with black polish on the tip of the nails make a French tip like shape, it doesn't need to be perfect. 

Once your nails are fall in paradise ready apply another top coat to all of the nails to seal in your design and to help last. 

Here is the practice design of fall in paradise.

Hope all of you enjoyed this fall in paradise nail design!
