2. **Maple-Inspired Ombre**

Capture the essence of falling leaves with a stunning ombre design that transitions from warm orange to deep brown. This technique requires precise color blending to create a seamless gradient that mimics the natural progression of autumn foliage. Start with a light orange base at the cuticle, gradually blending into darker amber tones, and finish with a chocolate brown at the tips. Use a makeup sponge to dab the colors together while they're still wet for a smooth transition. Adding a sprinkle of fine gold glitter can replicate sunlight catching on fallen leaves, while a high-shine top coat brings the entire design to life. This technique works particularly well on longer nails, where the gradient has more space to develop, but can also be adapted for shorter lengths.
