Autumn Leaves French Manicure

I guess that I should have named this week Festive Fall Nail Art Week! :P Today I have a festive french mani for you to enjoy. I always forget how much I love fun french mani designs like this; I did one around the holidays last year and swore to myself that I would wear them more often, but alas, I never did.


I started with two coats of Confetti Pink Paradise and used Milani Chocolate Sprinkles to create my french tip by painting it right on the tips of my nails. I didn't use any kind of tape or anything since I knew the edge would be covered by the leaves anyway. After that was totally dry, I stamped some leaves randomly with a bunch of different colors: Essie Very Structured, Milani Rapid Cherry, Orly Luxe and Rescue Beauty Lounge Santa Fe. I think I'm going to do this again as my Thanksgiving mani! :)

    This is such a great idea! It really looks like the leaves when they're on the ground :)

      This probably would take about 45 minutes to do a full mani.

      But that includes waiting for the polish to dry before you can stamp, etc.

    This is so lovely. I have to get some more stamping wheels. I love seeing them done over the layers like this toward the tips. Almost looks like you sponged on part of the tip shades.
