I thought I'd post a quick nail look today as it's the beginning of September and if the rain in London today is anything to go by we've got a long winter coming. So instead of getting gloomy about the lack of sunshine, sandal opportunities and beer garden ciders I decided to do an loosely autumn inspired nail to get me in the mood for crisp autumn walks, new season knitwear and a new academic year! My best mate does this look on her nails all the time in rich purples and golds and it always looks fantastic but I thought I would give it an autumnal twist.

| excuse the messy room! |
This is the clearest picture I could get of the look, but here's a picture of my whole hand just to give you an idea of how it looks.

| Not the clearest but my camera was in no mood to be messed with. |
Get the look:
- Apply one base coat of Rimmel 60 Seconds in 740 Clear.
- Paint the entire nail in Max Factor Nailfinity in 214 Earth.
- Use Barry M Nail Paint No. 129 to draw a diagonal line across your nail, then fill in the nail using vertical strokes from the edge of the line, up to the edge of your nail.
- Finish with any top coat. I used Sally Hansen Mega Shine as I'd just got it today but any clear nail varnish will do the job.
I really like this style and the great thing is you can do it in any different colours depending on your mood, style and season.
Hope you like it!
