Autumn manicure with gold leaves and a matte finish — is a true embodiment of natural beauty and elegance. A deep coniferous green shade combined with a velvety matte top coat creates an effect of softness and depth that perfectly complements an autumn wardrobe. Accent nails are decorated with delicate twigs made of golden leaf (potal) on a soft milky background. This combination of textures — matte green and shimmering gold — makes the manicure voluminous and unforgettable. The sharp square shape adds a modern touch, turning the nails into a stylish accessory for any look.
What you will need for the design:
- Base coat for perfect leveling;
- Gel polishes: dark green and translucent milky camouflage;
- Golden foil or potal for creating leaves;
- Matte top coat for a velvety effect;
- Glossy top coat (to secure the decor before applying the matte finish).
Step-by-step: how to perform the design
- Preparation: Shape the nail plate, apply the base coat, and cure in the lamp.
- Color coating: Apply the dark green gel polish to the pinky, index, and thumb fingers. Apply the milky shade to the middle and ring fingers. Polymerize.
- Leaf decoration: Apply special foil glue to the milky base or use the sticky layer of the gel polish. Form the outlines of leaves in the shape of a twig using foil imprints or tweezers and potal.
- Matte effect: Cover the green nails with a matte top coat. For the nails with the design, first apply a thin layer of glossy top coat, and after curing, apply the matte top to maintain the contrast of textures.
- Completion: Polymerize the finish coating for 60-90 seconds and apply oil to the cuticles.
