First Fall Nail Design of the Season...
by Lisa Decosse on 10/21/12
I've finished my first nail design for the fall season. I call it 'Autumn Art'. It is inspired by a design from 'Nail Polish Wars Blogspot' (sorry but I don't remember the website address because I wrote the idea down my nail book a few weeks ago).
It is a pretty simple design. I only had a couple of hours to complete it earlier tonight (well technically it is now yesterday since it is 2:30 am). October 21st is the 25th anniversary of the day my husband and I started going out. So, while I didn't have much time to do something special with my nails, I couldn't just leave them bare since we'll be going out for supper.
Just divide each nail into three triangular shapes. Paint each section a different fall colour (make sure you use a good base coat first). In this design I've used a deep green, a beige and a rusty-copper tone. After a couple coats of each colour so that they are solid looking, apply two coats of a gold flecked glitter to give it a bit of a sparkle. Add two coats of a good topcoat and you are done. And for a closer look:
I hope to add some of my previous designs to my nail gallery over the next couple months but I'll always post here as well to let you know when pics have been added.
Until next time,
