Tutorial #016: Autumn Flowers

I really love fall and its colors, so here is a nail art inspired by the autumn's leaves and flowers. I made two versions of this nail art because I couldn't choose witch one I liked the most!

What you need: a thin brush, a needle.

Colors:

• Base Coat: Debby nail THERAPY smoothing base + minerals
• Brown: COLLISTAR No: 42 MELANZANA GLITTER
• Gold: Deborah Shine TECH No: 21
• Glitter Gold: KIKO No. 164
• White: KIKO No. 101
• Red: RIMMEL Lycra PRO No. 323 RIVIERA RED
• Top Coat: KIKO Extra strong & hard No.04

How to:

1. Apply your base coat.
2. Apply a dark brown. Apply a second coat if needed.
3. With the thin brush and the gold polishes draw some lines. They don't have to be perfect. Add some glitter if you want.
4. With the head of the needle draw some white dots. They have to be small.
5. With the head of the needle draw some dots, red this time, but don't cover the white ones completely. When PERFECTLY dry apply your top coat. (Since in the dots the polish is concentrated it may take a while to dry, be sure to wait or you will ruin everything.)

Here is the final result. I made it only on one nail because its a detailed nail art and I didn't want it to be too much, but you can do it on the whole hand if you like it!

Using the same technique and changing the colors you can have different results. Here is a lighter version.

Colors:

• Base Coat: Debby nail THERAPY smoothing base + minerals
• Yellow: Bottega Verde No. 15
• Gold/Brown: I don't remember where this come from...
• Orange: KIKO No. 112
• Dark Red: KIKO No. 116
• White: KIKO No. 101
• Red: RIMMEL Lycra PRO No. 323 RIVIERA RED
• Top Coat: KIKO Extra strong & hard No.04

How to:

1. Apply your base coat and then a yellow polish. Use a light yellow, it doesn't have to be too intense.
2. With the thin brush draw some lines with a gold or brown polish.
3. Add other lines using the orange and dark red polishes.
4. With the head of a needle add some white dots.
5. Add some more dots using a red polish. When PERFECTLY dry apply your top coat. (Since in the dots the polish is concentrated it may take a while to dry, be sure to wait or you will ruin everything.)

I took my inspiration from this Japanese nail art.
