Abstract Fall Nail Art

Here is an abstract fall manicure that is cute and festive and features all the beautiful colors of fall leaves.

Step 1:

Paint all your nails white, except your ring finger nail, which you will paint brown as an accent nail.


Step 2:

Next, using a black nail striper, freehand a bare tree onto the brown accent nail. The best part about this step is that there is no right or wrong way to do it, making it hard to mess up. 


Step 3:

Using a medium sized dotting tool, make almond or raindrop shaped splotches on each white nail using any fall colors you wish. These will represent falling leaves. (The best technique I've found is to make a large dot of paint and spread one part out to a point using your dotting tool.)


Step 4:

For added effect, use a small dotting tool dipped in black polish and make smal polka dots in the bare spaces between your colorful leaves. This will draw out the black of the bare tree on the accent nail and make your manicure more interesting overall.


Don't forget to apply your top coat!

I hope you enjoyed doing this festive manicure and all your other fall festivities.
