Fall Nail Art


Difficulty : 
Hey guys !
This weekly nail art is fall inspired ! So much darker as I usually do, but really loads of fun to do ! 
For this nail art, we will be using 6 different nail polishes and a thin nail art brush.
Start by applying your base coat. Once this is done, paint each of your nails with a black nail polish. 
Once your coat is dry, follow the instructions below :
  • For your thumb : Take a pink nail polish, and using a nail art brush, just do thick lines reaching towards the ends of your nail. Once your lines are dry, take a light brown nail polish and draw thiner lines into the pink lines we drew earlier.
  • For your index, your middle finger and your ring finger : With your silver nail polish, draw a a medium sized line in the middle of your nail. Then, grab your nail art brush, and draw really thin lines (those lines being irregular with different sizes) reaching towards the black sides of each nails. The effect expected is similar to a gradient (like on the picture above). It's really fun to do and really easy !
  • For your little finger : You just have to apply a matte top coat on top of it. When your top coat is dry, take your black nail polish and draw a thick line at the bottom of your nail, just like a french manucure. 

Once you're done with each of these steps, you can apply your shiny top coat on each of your nails except the little one (which already has been matified). 
TADA !

Pink Power Gradient

Difficulty : 

Hey Guys !
This weekly manucure is a pink gradient ! 
For this manucure you will need : a make up sponge, two nail polishes (check the references down below) and a top coat.

First and foremost, start by applying your base coat.
When you're done, take your make up sponge and your two nail polishes and apply a thick layer of each nail polish on your sponge. (Just like the picture below)


Then, press your sponge onto each of your nails as many times as you need until you get a satisfying gradient.
---My piece of advice on gradients : To protect your fingers while pressing your sponge onto your nail : put a few pieces of scotch around your nail ; the polish won't get onto your finger
If you have pale colors, I suggest you put on a white base first, then the colors will be brighter
Don't hesitate to start over again until you get the perfect gradient---


Once you've got the perfect gradient, apply immediatly your top coat ; Your colors will fade in each other better.
