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!
