For the last couple weeks I've been trying to decide how to incorporate leaves or falling leaves into a nail design. I really wanted to keep it simple with no actual leaves or trees.
For this design I used, "Pur White" by Maybelline, "The Spy Who Loved Me" (red) by OPI, "Orange Oasis" by Covergirl, and "Hit the Lights" (yellow) by Nicole by OPI.
I started with a base of "Pur White". I wanted the base to be really soft and felt that a straight up white polish would be too harsh.
I then used my dotting tool (pencil with a straight pin) to add dots to my nails starting at the tips. I tried to spread the dots out as I moved down my nails to give a falling/fading effect. Here is the final result!
I am in LOVE with how these turned out.
The possibilities are endless with this design.
To name a few ideas:
- blue, silver, and white for Winter (falling snow?)
- red, green, and gold for Christmas
- multi-coloured for New Years (confetti)
Happy Painting!
Love, Kate xo
