SIMPLE FALL NAIL IDEAS Just because summer is ending doesn’t mean that your nails can’t be as cute, and unique as they were in the summer time. There are several fall nail ideas easy enough that even an beginner can try. The simplest fall nail idea is dark shades of glitter. You begin by adding a fall base color such as hues of red, orange, purples, blues, and yellow. Then with a top glitter coat after the base coat dries apply it. After it dries you then have a nice pair of perfectly manicured fall inspired nails. Adding extra glitter creates a sophisticated look to an otherwise simple look. Another populat nail idea for the fall are matte nails. Matte nails at home can be created simply with a few household items. The simplest way is by steams. To do this you would first paint a base coat color as you would normally would. Then heat up water and when it begins to steam place your nails over the steam for 5-10 seconds. When it fully dries it should have become a matte finish. Adding cornstarch to nail polish in a dish can also be done to achieve this look. Lastly a matte topcoat can be used to achieve this matte finish. Marbled nails are also another popular fall nail trend. To achieve this look you would first apply a clear base coat. After the base coat dries apply a white polish, or any other llight color coat. Then apply tape around the cuticles so that polish doesn’t on the skin. Then with a cup of water add nail color to the cup gently tap the nail polish into the cup adding more colors as desired. You can use a toothpick to create the design that you would want on your nails. Use the toothpick to make designs, and change the pattern. Lastly dip your finger into the nail pattern. AFter a few seconds take your finger out very slowly so it doen;t mess up the design. Leave the nails to dry and then remove the tape. Now you have perfect nails.
