Seasons

It's that time of year ladies! Fall nail polish colors! Time to bust out those browns, reds, oranges, yellows, and golds! For my very first Fall nail design of 2013, I chose to do a Fall/Halloween design. The fade from red to orange to yellow adds a sunset to the background. Then I added spooky black trees missing all of their leaves. For the accent nail of this design I decided to do sparkly French tips Fall style. 

This design is very simple. A tutorial for this template will be posted very soon for all of you DIYers out there! 

To Get the Look:

1. Clean nail of any prior nail polish using nail strengthening nail polish remover. (Try not to use acetone unless you are taking glitter off)
2. Apply a thin base coat of either Sally Hansen clear, or Sinful Colors Base Coat.
3. Start at the cuticle of the nail and dab a little #81 Red Alert to the base. Only apply 1/3 of the way up the nail.
4. Next, while the red is still wet, apply #19 Neon Orange. Push a little down into the still wet red and then pull up 1/3 of the way.
5. Next, while the orange is still wet, apply #18 Neon Yellow. Push a little down into the still wet orange and then pull up across the entire tip of the nail.
6. Wait for that to dry.
7. Use a small detail brush for the spooky trees. 
8. Apply thin black lines in the shape of a tree from the base of the nail to the tip.
9. Once dry, apply Sally Hansen clear coat, or Sinful Colors top coat for the finished shiny look
