Each finger is something that to meet represents or reminds me of fall. On my thumb I painted an autumnal tree, with falling leave.
On my pointer I painted a falling leaves with swirls. The swirls represents fall breezes that blow leaves around.
On my mid-‐finger I painted a plaid design. I think of plaid patterns when I think of fall. I'm not sure if it is because of school uniforms or what but plaid comes to mind.
On my ring finger I painted a pumpkin because what is fall without pumpkins. One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to visit the pumpkin patch and pick out the biggest pumpkin I can find.
On my pinky I painted a simple chevron. I think of chevrons when I think of autumn because of Charlie Brown. Of course, I used different colors but that's because I wanted it to coordinate with the rest of this manicure. I did use nail vinyls to create this chevron design.
I used several different polishes and strippers to create this manicure:
- Essie's 'Partner in Crime' and 'Take it Outside' from the Dress to Kilt Collection
- Color Club's 'Off Duty' and 'Apple of My Eye' from the Made in NY Collection (swatches and review coming soon)
- Orly 'Lavish Bash'
- Strippers in green, black, and white
I am so proud of this manicure, I feel that I accurately caught the feeling of fall with these designs. I'm also really excited about how my freehand abilities are coming along. I will not be taking this manicure off anytime soon. I hope you enjoy fall and this manicure as much as me. Thank you for stopping by, see you next time.
Your Fellow Plebe,
amazing work !
ReplyDeleteThank you Bubica!
DeleteLove how you paint both hands. Very nice design
ReplyDeleteThank you Anita! Most of the nail art I do, I actually wear. I would feel silly with only one hand painted, or with two different manicures. Plus I like to practice with my left hand (I'm a rightie) and show it because I want everyone to see realistic representations of the skills I have (or do not have). When I first started this blog I wanted to show other newbies accurate representations of what a new nail artist nails look like, not just the perfectly pretty.
DeleteI like this manicure!
