Chevron Harvest/Thanksgiving/Winter Nails


One of my practice nails that I believe to be a perfect idea for Harvest/Thanksgiving/Winter Time. Start of course with your favorite base coat to protect your natural nail. Then apply your base color, for this I used a shimmer blue. Then apply your chevron shape with either a white striper or nail art pen or you can create this effect by taping off with scotch tape or nail tape. Following that, apply your yellow above that line. After that has dried, apply your brown, yes that is brown it looks very black but it is in fact a deep brown, over the yellow going in the opposite direction. If you can fill in until the edge of the nail. While that is drying you can choose to apply a gold shimmer polish over your white adding some more glam. After the brown has fully dried apply your yellow dot.
Now after that has all dried apply your favorite top coat to seal in your design and you have a cute manicure for many occasions. If you recreate this look I would love to see your manicures!

Fall Plumtastic!



Here is a great fall idea if you want some color instead of the same old same old. Whether it is on little fingers or an adults nails, I find this to be super cute and fun! Of course items needed would be a nail art pen, white acrylic paint, base coat, fast-dry top coat, glitter, a neon yellow, and since the main color used was purple I chose a plum nail polish for the thumbs.
Start off with your favorite base coat to protect your natural nail. After that is dried, paint all but the ring finger with your white acrylic paint and do two coats. I enjoy using acrylic paint for the white as it does make other colors more opaque quickly and drying time from each step is cut in half.
Next apply your glitter to the ring finger, this does take some patience, I decided on a simple flower like pattern. While that is setting up, paint your thumbs and pointer fingers with the colors of your choosing, I did a plum and neon yellow. While those are drying apply your glitter to the center of the nail on the pointer finger and continue to allow the nail polish to dry.
Following that grab that nail art pen, and I did sort of a twig style design and filled in the empty space with dots to really bring it to life. Now while that is drying it is time to apply a fast dry top coat to the thumbs, pointer and ring fingers. When the "twigs" have completely dried apply your fast drying top coat to seal in your design and you are done!
Fun right? The great thing about this design is that it easily flows from your fall into a winter style design while still keeping it fresh and bright! If you recreate feel free to tag on Facebook or link in the comments below. Would love to see those recreations! Have a wonderful day!

Fall-esque Matte Nails



Here is a fun matte fall idea. Start with your favorite base coat. Then go with a creamy color, the color I used was Wet'n'Wilds megalast Sugar Coat, on all your nails leaving your pinkies undone except for base coat. (I recommend three coats of this color as it is very see through, I only did two coats in the picture.) Next, if it makes it easier for you, tape off all the nails except for your pinkies, as you will do a full coat of brown on your pinkies. Make a nice crescent shape on the tips of your nails for a nice accent. Once those are dry apply a silver fleck nail polish on top of the brown if you wish, I did as it made it really stand out. Or you can just apply a clear top coat and then a matte top coat on the tips of your nails. On the pinky fingers I added a tear gem and applied my matte top coat on after that. Clean up any mess on your edges and you are done. Very simple and elegant and goes with just about anything you have that is fall-esque and will be perfect to wear around family for the upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
