A simple and easy way to add nail art this fall is by using fall nail art foil. Nail Art foils are decorative transfer papers also called foil that apply textures or patterns on your nails.

You could also use special nail art brushes that are specifically shaped for art work when used on your nails. And Fall nail art stickers couldn’t be easier to use. However, if you want your nail stickers to last more than a week, do remember to use a top coat. Applying top coat on your nails after the stickers have settled down will help to seal in your nail stickers better.

Fall nail art gems and glitter are a beautiful way to add rhinestones, sparkle and bling to you fall nail art. 3D fall nail art is all about adding dimension to the top of your nails.

Fall Nail Art Hacks

With fall in the air and so many inspiring colors (just look out your window), your manicure possibilities are endless.

Whether you’re into warmer or cooler tones, it’s not hard to spice up your color palette for fall. Here are some fall nail art hacks to have your fall nail art looking beautiful.

1. When applying a top coat, run the brush along the top edge (non-cuticle side) of the nail. This will seal in the raw edge of the polish to prevent chipping.

2. If your French mani still doesn’t come out perfectly the way you want it, there’s an easy way to hide you’re your mistakes without the frustration of having to start all over again. Get yourself a glitter pen from any stationery or craft shop and draw a line where the white meets the pink. Detailed instructions here.

3. Draw, don’t paint. While you can get some awesome nail art tools to make the drawing a bit easier, you can actually bypass all the fuss by using a good old sharpie! As long as you finish it off with a good top coat, the picture or pattern will stay put. Detailed instructions here.
