This post is for one of my biggest blog fans- Jenna! Here is how to do Ombre Nails in 10 steps!! :)1. Prepare!
Make sure you are well prepared to do your manicure! It is important to have everything you need before starting, making sure all you equipment is in reach from where you are sitting.
2. What do you need to prepare?
You will need a pair of scissors, two gradient colours, a light and a dark and a base colour that matches. Here are some good combinations:
Teal and green, pink and dark pink, light blue and dark blue, orange and pink, indigo and purple.
You should also find a toothpick, sponge and a gloss polish, a paintbrush and nail polish remover
3. Lay your hand on a flat surface and paint on your base coat. Make sure the base coat is completely dry before painting on your gradient colours,
4. Take your sponge and cut of one side to make a flat side, you do not need to do this if you already have a flat side on your sponge.
5. Paint on to your sponge the light colour and dark colour, close enough so they meet slightly. Make sure that your mix of colours should be able to fit into your nail.
6. Use your toothpick and swirl the colours so that they look how you want them to on your nail.
7. Place the sponge on your nail. Dab lightly every so often, but make sure you are landing the sponge on the same spot as you did previously. Try slowly and lightly moving the sponge up and down your nail. It's okay if you finger gets mucky.
8. Let your nails dry and repeat step 7. You can repeat step 7 as many times as you wish, just make sure your nail is totally dry before repeating.
9. Using a thin paintbrush, dip it into some nail polish remover and remove all the excess paint on your finger and around your nail.
10. Once your nail is dry it will feel very bumping due to the sponging, so using your clear gloss polish, paint over it. Repeat twice.
There! You should now have a be-a-U-tiful manicure! Hope you enjoyed this post!
