Autumn Leaf Nails!

Autumn Leaves Nails!

Apologies for our mysterious absence but I found these from ages ago and thought I would post them. Don't expect posts to suddenly appear - it's surprisingly difficult to find time to do the more intricate designs but we do have a few ideas and old designs that are still on my camera which will be coming your way every fortnight for the next month or two!

Finished Nails

Acrylic Paints

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 Lasting Colour19 Berry Hot
• 619 Cadmium Orange acrylic paint
• 651 Lemon Yellow acrylic paint
• 701 Gold Imit acrylic paint
• Clear top coat
• 20/0 paintbrush

Step 1

Paint the nails with the red nail varnish.

Step 2

Paint the orange leaves on the nail using the orange acrylic paint and a small paintbrush. You could use nail varnish instead of acrylic paint but I found it easier to paint the leaves using paint. To do each branch of the leaf, draw a line and then add the points.

Step 3

Repeat the process using the yellow acrylic paint.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the gold acrylic paint.

Step 5

Cover the design in clear nail varnish to protect it and make it shiny as acrylic paint is rather dull. Also, clean up around the nails with nail varnish remover.
