Autumn Trees

Step 1
Start with a base coat on all of your nails.

Step 2
Paint all of your nails white. This will make the ombré more opaque.

Step 3
Paint one stripe of orange and one stripe of brown onto a makeup sponge, dab off the excess polish on a piece of paper and then dab the sponge onto all your nails except your ring finger.

Step 4
Use a fast drying top coat on all your ombréd nails to blend the colours even more. 

Step 5
On your ring finger, use a sponge with a small bit of the orange and dab it in a small circle in the middle of your nail.

Step 6
Use a striper to create a bare tree. At the tip of the nail, create a thick line. Then with the striper, create very thin lines for the branches. You can also create even thinner lines coming from the branches for smaller twigs.

Step 7
As an optional step, you can use a small dotter dipped into the brown or orange and create small dots around the tree to give the effect of leaves.

Step 8
Seal in your design with a clear fast drying top coat.
