We’ve all fallen in love with ombre, whether it’s clothes, hair accessories, you name it. Ombre is on our minds. This week we’re moving the trend onto our nails, creating a subtle effect with nail polish.
Here’s a step by step guide on how to create ombre nails.
What you’ll need: 2 nail colours of your choice, a sponge and a tooth pick
One: Choose your two colours and decide on a base. Apply the base colour and allow to dry.
Two: On a flat surface (we used a paper plate), paint a small amount of the two nail colours, side by side.
Three: With a toothpick, merge the colours together slightly so there isn’t a definite line between them.
Four: Dab into the colours with your sponge, right in the middle.
Five: Sponge lightly onto your nails, starting at the top with a couple of dabs, moving down as the colour starts to weaken.
And there you have it: Ombre Nails!

LOVE IT! Trying this today!
I also just did this recently just with the sponge; no toothpick or paper plate required and it still looked fabulous. Just apply 1-2 layers of whatever base coat you want then let it dry. Then I painted a small amount of my top contrasting coat onto the edge of a sponge and just dabbed, layering it further towards the top of the nail. You can even go back and forth a bit alternating the colors with your dabbing for blending till it looks how you want it. Maybe a little thicker on the application, but it still looked cool, and was relatively easy to take off.
I tried this last week, and I think my nail polish was the wrong consistency because the color came out very thin and more clear than anything. I will try again today. :)
