Ombre Nails

Hello again

So I know that the whole ombre nail trend was last year but I am still loving it, I got a bit bored yesterday so I decided to try it out for the first time and was surprised how easy it was (however a little messy)


The top photo shows how it turned out and I think it looks pretty good, however it did take 3 coats of the colours over the white nail varnish. The colours i used were the 2true brand from Superdrug and they were about £3 but were on offer at the time, the colours are number 47(pink), number 48 (blue) and number 50 (lilac).

I also thought i would try it out on my toes, it didn't turn out so good but the colours I used were Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours in orange (£2) and MUA in shade number 15 (£1), both are from Superdrug.

To complete the ombre trend you need to paint the nail with two coats of white nail varnish and let it dry. Then get a make up sponge and paint the colours you want to use in stripes onto it. Then slowly dab the sponge onto the nail and let it dry, repeat the dabbing technique as many times as you want until the colour payoff is to your liking, clean up the edges with nail varnish remover and a cotton pad. Finally seal the nail with a clear top coat and you're done!
