HPB Presents: Autumn Shimmer Leaves

Greetings and Nailutations!

Today is something different!  I decided to link up with some other bloggers and we all did out take on Fall/Autumn themed mani!  What I love about this post is that I can really spot light some nail art.

What does Fall/Autumn mean to me?  The first thing that comes to my mind is the leaves changing colors.  It is my favorite thing about Autumn and the one thing I miss, living in the desert.  I wanted to showcase leaves of Autumn.

I started with a base of 2 coats of MTL Creations' Tree Hugger, a milk chocolate brown and I topped it off with Gem Glam Top Coat from Dream Polish and allowed it to dry.


First I painted my skin around my nails with Nail Jewelry Bling Liquid Nail Tape, to make clean up easier.  Then I used some leaf stencils from Nails Redesigned to create the pattern of leaves.  The polishes used were Candy, Lemon Drop and Whisper all from ZR's Polish, which I painted onto a make up sponge.  I then took the sponge and dabbed it over the stencil to create a gradient effect.  Lastly, I added a final top coat of Gem Glam Top Coat from Dream Polish.




I love how the leaves ended up looking.

What is your favorite part of Autumn?

Happy Polishing,
Kristi aka @BeginNails

    I love how the leaves look too which is beautiful! My favorite part of Autumn is that I can start wearing some of my boots and the cooler weather. I don't like it hot all the time. Love that macro!
