DIY Fall Leaves Tutorial – Step by Step Guide

To begin, apply a base coat onto your nails and allow it to dry completely. This will help your manicure last longer and provide protection for your natural nails. Next, apply some foil glue onto the tips of your nails and wait a few minutes for it to dry. Then, using a soft, fluffy brush, apply white eye shadow pigment onto the glued area. Remove any excess pigment with a fan brush. Lastly, seal the pigments with a layer of top coat.

The nail tips have a different color than the nail bed, but the white eye shadow pigment provided a lovely soft cream finish to the tips. For this nail design, I chose to leave the background clear, which made the red leaves stand out beautifully. To create a diagonal French manicure, I used an angled nail art brush and black acrylic paint. The angled brush made the process easy and allowed me to create a clean line without struggling, even in the corners of my nails.

Instead of black paint, you can also use black polish for this step. However, I personally prefer using acrylic paints for nail art as they are easier to work with than polish. Using a detail brush, take some black paint and draw lines to create branches.

Using a detail brush and red paint, create fall leaves by making dots and gently pulling the brush to a point. This technique makes it easy to paint leaves. Once the paint is dry, seal the entire design with a layer of top coat. I made the mistake of being impatient and applying top coat while the paint was still wet, which caused some of the red paint to drag. To prevent this, make sure the paint is fully dry before applying top coat.

Clean-up is another crucial step in achieving professional-looking nails at home. After completing your nail design, it’s common to have some polish residue on the skin surrounding your nails. To clean up any mistakes or excess polish, I recommend using a small brush dipped in acetone or a specialized clean-up tool. This allows for precision cleaning without damaging the rest of your design. Take this opportunity to refine any edges or correct imperfections for a flawlessly finished look.

By paying attention to these finishing touches like top coat application and clean-up, you can take your fall leaves nail design to a whole new level of sophistication and lasting beauty. These simple yet essential steps ensure that all your hard work will be beautifully showcased while also keeping your nails protected and polished for longer periods of time. So don’t rush through these final stages – take your time, enjoy the process, and let those fall leaves shine!
