Steps:
1. Prep and Shape the Nails
- Start by shaping your nails into your preferred almond shape, then apply a pink base color and cure.
2. Create the French Tips
- Paint angled French tips using warm fall shades—burgundy on the thumb and pinky, creamy yellow on the index finger, and caramel brown on the middle and ring fingers. Cure.
- Keep the French tips slightly angled and organic rather than perfectly symmetrical for a modern, minimalist feel. Cure after applying each color.
3. Paint the Minimalist Leaf Details
- Using black gel polish and a liner brush, paint a thin curved stem on the middle and ring fingers. Then, add two or three small leaves along the stem using simple teardrop-shaped strokes. Cure once the design is complete.
4. Seal the Design
- Finish with a glossy top coat to smooth and protect the design.
- Cure thoroughly under a UV/LED nail lamp, and your minimalist fall leaf manicure is complete!
- And that’s it! A simple yet elegant fall manicure, easily created with MelodySusie gels and tools for a polished seasonal look.
