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!
