AUTUMN LEAVES
Hi Goddesses
I’ve had this
mani in my mind for a couple of weeks now, ever since I did Lollipop here. I wanted to use the same technique (cos nail
art has to be simple with me in the room) to recreate a pile of autumn leaves –
the sort you have to make a great big mess of if you’re wearing wellies!
And here it
is. Hhhhhm. It’s not QUITE what I had in my head, but it’s
a start. For this I used once base coat
of Zoya Dree (an olive green – see my review here). To get the swirl you pick 3 colours and make
vertical stripes on the nail (quite wet stripes) and then take a cocktail stick
or dotting tool and swirl a pattern
For my colours I
used Dree, COLOR CLUB Wild & Willing (an amazing metallic orange that
reminds me of OPI Man of La Mancha) and the infamous Metro Chic by SEPHORA by
OPI.
Something in the
3 colours doesn’t quite work for me, and I think it’s the Metro Chic – it just
gets lost in the maze poor love, and barely makes a statement in any of the
nails. The orange works fabulously, and
is the perfect colour for autumn, and whilst I love Dree, she dominates maybe a
little too much.
I’m going to do
this again in another couple of weeks, varying the colours a little. In the meantime, if you’re as simple as I am,
give this mani a go, it’s really easy and creates a cool effect.
Til next time J
