Manicure with leaves: design features and ideas

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

To correctly interact with each other, it is worth choosing the right palette. The base and leaves must be combined, otherwise the pattern will be disharmonious with the selected tone. What is the best starting point? First, you should choose what color you want to draw the leaves in, what it will be:

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

Green decorative elements are perfectly combined with milk color, blue, beige, but it all depends on the shade. Warm are best used with warm and cold with cool colors. You can make the whole nail in the form of a palm branch, for this it will need to be painted in a bright green shade and highlight the veins with white and black varnish.

For gold, orange, bright red and other foliage, it is not possible to find a better background than black, because with it the whole palette of red and gold is in perfect harmony. It is not necessary to try to recreate the foliage of a tree in detail, you can simply draw a black ornament on a white background or white on a black background.

With brown colors, the golden palette and dark green shades look good. You only need to understand that this combination is more suitable for adult women, and girls are better off choosing something more vibrant.

Coral color is well associated with autumn; it amazingly emphasizes the elegance of a female hand.But you should not go in cycles only in autumn registration as leaves can be used also in design in the early spring. These can be primroses knocking out of a snow pile, or young leaves of an apple tree with flowers.

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

Large length allows you to not be afraid and experiment, use the most incredible color combinations. On a gray base background, bright orange or yellow leaves will look very good. If there is a desire and experience, then you can work with a thin brush and make the drawing more detailed, draw veins. On large nails, you can use more details, for example, foliage and apples.

Do not think that a short nail plate offers fewer options for design. Some techniques and drawings, their correct location allow you to visually lengthen the nail. In this case, the gradient jacket will look very good, but its color should be carefully selected for the decor theme. You can emphasize beautiful, albeit not too long nails with the help of the variety of the used palette.

Each girl, if she makes a little effort, will be able to make her own beautiful and fashionable manicure. It is best to choose a neutral color as the base color, regardless of which palette the foliage will be drawn in. Well, when a layer of orange or golden sparkles lies on the base layer, the rub looks amazingly. Draw leaves with special acrylic paint, because it dries quickly, and does not erode when it comes into contact with varnish. It’s not easy to work with a thin brush; you can replace it with stickers. It’s easier to use them, but it takes less time.

You can use a gradient as the main technique, any color scheme. The foliage is applied laterally, unevenly, slightly shifting in different directions, but at the same time leaving the center of the nail plate free. A rowanberry branch or just bright green foliage of any of your favorite plants will look very colorful and unusual. Do not dwell on the already proposed design options, you can always come up with something of your own.
