Manicure Monday - Fall Leaf Nail Art

Happy Manicure Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of Fall?! Whoa! 

The OPI polishes were received as PR samples

I had to go with the "Fallest" mani I could come up with that was a deep wine manicure with Fall leaves changing colours! I'm really happy with how this one turned out - these will look fantastic while drinking my Pumpkin Spice Latte tomorrow (just kidding - I totally had one before the first day of Fall!)

For the month of September, the #CBBxManiMonday group is going with the theme "Fall Colours" all month for our manis and I'm all about this theme! 

For this week's Manicure, the polishes that I used are:

• OPI Infinite Shine Primer 
• Maniology polish in Merlot
• OPI polish in Glitter All The Way
• OPI polish in Dreams on a Silver Platter 
• Maniology polish in Spiced Orange
• Kiss nail art paint in orange 
• Innisfree polish in #203 Woody
• Moyra Top Coat for Nail Stamping
• Orly instant artist in Jet Black (not pictured)

For this week's manicure, I started with a base coat and two coats of a merlot base polish. Then, using the glitter polishes, I concentrated the glitter at the tips of the nail and brought it lightly down to the middle of the nail. 

Then using the orange, yellow and bronze polishes I painted the shapes of leafs on the nail, focusing on the tip of the nails. Then, I used the black nail art polish to create the veins of the leaves. I finished the nails with the nail art top coat! 

I feel like these are the perfect nails for the first week of fall and I love the deep vampy shade - I rarely reach for these deep reds and it's perfect! And as always, make sure you check out Cosmetic Proof and Prairie Beauty Love to see their Fall nails!
