Manicure with leaves for autumn
Many people associate the autumn season with yellow or burgundy foliage, and it is this that has become the inspiration for nail art masters this season. If you don’t know how to draw foliage, you can use stickers or stamping. For greater realism, a manicure with leaves can be decorated with raindrops. Let's figure out what colors of varnish you should use to paint leaves:
- green;
- khaki;
- yellow;
- orange;
- red;
- brown;
- burgundy
The color of the leaves will depend on what shade of nail polish you choose. In this design, it is important to highlight the leaf on the nail and give it an expressive outline, so the background should be as contrasting as possible. Many nail art masters like to do manicures with autumn leaves in 2021, because it gives them the opportunity to express themselves and reveal their creative talents. To make a manicure with autumn leaves look as stylish and expressive as possible, it can be supplemented with drawings:
- umbrella;
- blades of grass;
- mushrooms;
- raindrops;
- forest animals;
- Wild berries.
Symbolic inscriptions will also harmoniously decorate a drawing with autumn leaves.

IMPORTANT! When drawing leaves on your nails, remember what shades they have in the autumn. Mix several shades to get the closest color to your natural color. And also do not forget to pay special attention to the so-called veins that are present in the leaves; it is better to highlight them with a contrasting color, for example, black or dark brown varnish.
Autumn manicure with gel polish for short nails and long nails
The advantage of gel polish is that it always looks good, has a glossy sheen and a dense texture that prevents the coating from cracking. You can do an autumn manicure on long or short nails; it suits everyone.
Depending on the shape of the nails and their length, you should select a pattern. Long suits French and large-scale drawings with many details, short ones “love” decoration on one or several fingers.
Autumn manicure ideas for long nails:
When decorating long nails, you can not be afraid to experiment and combine colors. For example, bright yellow leaves will contrast greatly with a gray base background. Black and white varnish will help add detail to the picture.

Ideal for manicure in the hot season, colors that combine beautifully with a tan are suitable. These can be contrasting white, beige, pastel colors.

Minimalism
Minimalism is the main summer trend and the rule of the season: the less, the better! This applies to both length and design. All you have to do is choose: a small twig or an elegant flower on a plain background.

Blue and white stripes, anchors, steering wheels are symbols that remind of the sea, and therefore of summer. If you are bored with the usual print, choose shells, palm trees or starfish. Nail design masters manage to paint multi-deck ships on their nails!
