Autumn Watercolor

 

 The idea behind this design was to make it look like layered watercolors. I thought about using stamping, but decided to try hand painting instead.

 

 I started with two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, then added one light coat of Wet n Wild 2% Milk for a subtle cream tone. I then used a small brush and Sinful Colors Poudre to add light leaves and some vague color blobs across my nails.

 Next, I added touches of acetone-watered down Sinful Colors Exotic Green. I did want to focus on the warm colors, so I didn't use much green. Then, I added bright leaves in Sally Hansen Orange Impulse.

 I then added a highlight of SpaRitual Enlightened Soul near the tips of each nail. The last color I used was a mix of Sinful Colors Coffee and more Sally Hansen Orange Impulse. I didn't want to use Coffee alone, because I wanted it slightly warmer knowing that the acetone was going to dilute the color a bit.

Mixing it up a little this week by taking some in-progress pictures! I'll try to get better about doing that...
