Need Some Fall Nail Inspo? Try These Super-Cute "Fall Vibes" Nails
Today, we are going to create some awesome fall vibes nails! This fall nail art is super easy to do at home and has a lot of room for self-expression. You can use whichever colors and patterns that you would like! Let's get started.
Tools and materials:
- Paintbrushes
- Nail polish
- Top coat
- Nail polish remover
- Cotton pad
- Nail file
1. Clean and buff
Make sure your nails are clean. Then buff the top of the nail with a fine nail file.
This will help your nail polish stay intact a lot longer because this removes any of the natural oils that are on top of your nails.
2. Apply the base coat
Apply a clear base coat and let dry.
3. Apply the nail polish
Apply the first coat of nail polish to your nails. I'm using white, light pink, light purple, and gray.
I am choosing multiple colors for a fun look. I am not doing any specific patterns. I want this look to be a little more freeform.
Tip: if you get nail polish on your skin, go over the area with a nail file and it will pick the nail polish right up.
4. Prep
Soak a cotton pad with nail polish remover and place in a dish. This will help clean the paintbrush in between nail polish colors.
5. Get creative
Using a fine-tipped paintbrush, I am going to create dots of color on different nails.
On my pinky finger, I am making a little heart, which looks super cute.
The point here is to go totally free form!
6. Create contrast
Using a dark polish color, I am painting stripes. The key to making stripes is to put a small amount of polish on your brush and gently glide it across the nail. If you push down, it is going to make a fat line.
Be super creative with this! You can make everything uniform if that is your style. My style is a little more organic and abstract.
Notice how I am leaving some nails without the embellishment. This creates a contrast between the nails and prevents the look from being overly complicated.
7. Apply a top coat
Wait for your nails to dry and apply your top coat.
