To recreate: Apply the lighter color as your base coat first, over the entire nail (one coat is enough, as long as it covers well). Let dry for 5 minutes. Then with your darker color, apply in staggered strokes, starting with the shortest and gradually getting longer with each - you should have 4 or 5 scallops across each nail. Let dry for 5 minutes before applying a clear topcoat.
Products I used:
Sally Hansen Terracotta (similar), Essie Little Brown Dress

Wow, what a great idea, to use a pair of shoes as inspiration for a manicure! I've never thought about this!
But I'm also sure I wouldn't be able to do this manicure, I'm not really good in "two color manicure", it never works when I'm trying it...

Such a lovely post: I like your manicure so much!!
What about following each other? Cosa mi metto???
There is NO way that I would be able to do that and have my nails look 1/2 as good! Awesome job!

Wow, this looks so perfect, but how many tries did it take you?! Haha. I would definitely like to try this one sometime...I needed this 2 days ago when I was looking for a fun manicure that didn't take any special tools. (It's OK...I ended up with bordeaux nails and sparkly tips. It looks pretty cute!)

sooooo cute! Are those flats authentic? I went to the link and was going to buy a pair for myself, but was skeptical about them being replicas. I got screwed on ebay and just escalated a case on a FAKE MK watch I received (I was under the impressions that the watch I was receiving was a lightly used authentic watch...wrong)... ugh.. so don't want to go through anything like this again. These are adorable flats!
Love the mani! Super cute. :) xo.

What a great idea, I love the colour combo, so perfect for fall.
Cute shoes too. Do they run true to size or small?
Great idea and so ready for fall.
I love the shoes too, do they run true to size?
ABSOLUTELY adore this manicure!!!! x
I absolutely love it!
Love the nail! The flats are too cute.
This is my favorite manicure DIY from you to date! I have no idea how to create staggered strokes to result in a scalloped effect but I will definitely try it!
I so need to try this manicure soon. LOVE it and wouldn't have thought to do it.
