As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to switch up your manicure to reflect the beauty of fall. This season, we’re obsessed with OPI’s Muir Muir on the Wall, a stunning polish that features hues of brown and red, capturing the essence of autumn in a metallic silky finish. Get ready to embrace the fall foliage with our easy nail tutorial!
What You’ll Need:
- Base coat
- Top coat
- Muir Muir on the Wall by OPI
- Swing Baby by China Glaze
- Piece of Saran wrap
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prep Your Nails
- Begin by applying a base coat to protect your nails and provide a smooth surface for polish application.
Step 2: Apply the Base Color
- Paint your nails with 1-2 coats of Muir Muir on the Wall. Depending on your preference for opacity, one coat should suffice, especially if you’re planning to layer more colors.
Step 3: Create the Foliage Effect
- Once the base color is dry, apply one coat of Swing Baby over the nails. Immediately take a piece of Saran wrap and dab it onto your nail. This technique will create a unique texture that mimics the beautiful randomness of fall leaves.
Step 4: Work One Nail at a Time
- Continue this dabbing technique on each nail, working one at a time to avoid the polish drying too quickly.
Step 5: Add More Color
- If you’re as in love with Muir Muir on the Wall as we are, consider adding another coat to enhance its rich brown color. Feel free to get creative by incorporating other fall colors like vibrant orange or deep green to accentuate your design!
Step 6: Seal It Off
- Finish your manicure with a shiny top coat to seal in your artwork and add a glossy finish.
