Winter Berries Nail Art with Leighton Denny Pillow Talk + TUTORIAL

 Press Sample

Good morning! Today I have a fun manicure that was inspired by a wrapping paper design at Papyrus that you can see in the collage below and I've even created a super easy tutorial so you can do this as well! It's so easy so let's take a look.

Winter Berries Nail Art with Leighton Denny Pillow Talk + TUTORIAL

I started with 3 coats of Leighton Denny Pillow Talk. This is a berry jelly polish. It's super squishy so it needed three coats for opacity! Leighton Denny is another brand I saw at Cosmoprof. They are mostly based out of Europe. It looks like you can now order online though! This had a typical jelly formula but it was nice and easy to use. What I love the most about this polish is the brush! It has a nice weighty cap and a long brush and it made polishing really easy.

Now onto the nail art! Here's a collage of how it progresses, but let's look at the steps below!

Winter Berries Nail Art Tutorial

To create the winter berries you will need a few items:

1. A black, grey, white, and red creme polish (4 polishes total).
2. A striping brush (or whatever you use for a thin line. You could use a toothpick).
3. A dotting tool (or the end of a bobby pink).

Step 1: Draw a line with a black creme down your nail. It doesn't need to be perfect. What trees are?!

Step 2: Add branches with the same black creme coming out of the tree trunk. No rhyme or reason!

Step 3: Add your dots! I began with adding grey dots. Do less dots at first. You can always add more!

 
Step 4:  Add red dots!

Step 5: Add white dots and go back and add more grey and red if you want!

Step 6: Wait 10 minutes to avoid smearing your art and top coat! I'm still wearing this manicure and it's holding up so nicely going on 3 days!
