Autumn Dot Manicure



This tutorial shows how to create this autumn dot manicure with warm orange, red and gold tones perfect for this season :)

1)

For this design you will need  dark red, orange, peach, nude and gold varnishes. I used (l-r) Barry M #325 Red Wine, Max Factor #25 Bright Orange, Barry M Gelly #319 Papaya, Barry M #342 Nude and Barry M #320 Foil Effects.


2)


Begin by using your nude shade to paint two thin coats as a base.

3)

Next, take your red shade and, using the very edge of your brush, dab on a few dots across the top of your nail.

4)


Then use your peach/light orange polish and add some more dots to the top of your nail. The dots look best if the overlap a bit so don't worry about being too neat :)

5)


Now use your gold and orange polishes to add some more dots to fill in the rest of the top of your nail. 

6)


Repeat steps 3-5 for the rest of your nails to complete the look, then paint on a clear top coat if you have one.

And this is the finished Autumn Dot Manicure design :)
