Manicure with leaves: design features and ideas

In some women, leaves are only associated with autumn, therefore this decorative element is used very limitedly in nail design. In fact, there are many beautiful options for how nail design may look, where leaves are used.

In order for the colors to interact correctly, it is necessary to choose the right palette. The base and the leaves must be combined, otherwise the pattern will disharmonize with the chosen tone. What is the first thing to push off from? First you should choose in what color you want to paint the leaves, that it will be:

• a sprig of mountain ash;
• simple maple leaf;
• several leaves of different shapes;
• leaf fall.

Green decorative elements are perfectly combined with a milky color, blue, beige, but it all depends on the shade. Warm is best used with warm, and cold with cold colors. You can make the entire nail in the form of a palm branch, for this you will need to paint it in a bright lime color and highlight the streaks with white and black varnish.

For gold, orange, bright red and other foliage, there is no better background than black, because with it the whole palette of red and gold perfectly harmonizes. It is not necessary to try to recreate the foliage of a tree in details, you can simply draw a black ornament on a white background or a white background on a black background.

With brown colors the gold palette and dark green shades well looks. You just need to understand that this combination is more suitable for adult women, and for girls it’s better to choose something brighter.

Well associated with autumn coral color, it amazingly emphasizes the elegance of the female hand. But you should not dwell only on the autumn design, because the leaves can be used in the design in early spring. This may be primroses, knocking out of the snow heap, or young leaves of apple trees with flowers.

It is best to use gel nail polish for the design of the nail plate, since it is more resistant to adverse effects and can resist water longer. Manicure with the leaves depicted can be done on both long and short nails, you only need to correctly calculate the shape and size of the decorative elements.

If you have the desire and experience, you can work with a thin brush and make the drawing more detailed, draw streaks. On large nails you can use more details, for example, foliage and apples.

In this case, the gradient service jacket will look very good, but its color should be carefully selected for the decor theme. Highlight beautiful, albeit not too long nails, you can use the variety of palette used.

Every girl, if she makes a little effort, can make a beautiful and fashionable manicure on her own. It is best to choose a neutral color as the base color, regardless of which palette the foliage is drawn in.It is good, when a layer of orange or golden spangles is on the base layer, the rubbing looks amazing. Leaves are painted with special acrylic paint, because it dries quickly and does not erode when it comes in contact with varnish. Working with a thin brush is not easy, you can replace it with stickers. They are easier to use, and it takes less time.

You can use any gradient as the main technique. The foliage is applied laterally, unevenly, slightly moving in different directions, but leaving the center of the nail plate free. A sprig of mountain ash or just the bright green foliage of any of your favorite plants will look very colorful and unusual.
