Wanna learn how to paint your nails ombre? Ombre – yes, it’s still all the rage. The ombre trend that seem to start with hair color has now spread like wild fire to everything from t-shirts, birthday cakes and well – NAILS!
How to Paint Your Nails Ombre
Here’s the supplies you’ll need to get started with the ombre nails.
- 2 color polishes and a topcoat
- Pick 2 nail polish colors that compliment or that clash – whatever fits your style. I personally love the 2 pinks in the photos.
- A make-up sponge
- Dollar tree has these and the quality is just the same of the ones I purchased at Target.
- A plastic sheet
- Saran Wrap works just fine.
- Toothpicks
- Nail polish remover
- Q-tips
Step 1
First paint your nails the lightest of your 2 nail polish colors.
Step 2
Next, lay down the plastic wrap and pour a small puddle of each of your two nail colors right next to each other.
Step 3
Using the toothpick mix the center of the two nail polish colors together to create a gradient (hence ombre nails!). Make sure not to mix the 2 nail colors totally,
Step 4
Wet the make-up sponge and squeeze the water out. Take the sponge and dab the gradient nail polish mixture.
Step 5
Dab the sponge onto your painted nails creating the ombre on your nails.
Step 6
Place a few layers of the top coat onto your nails. The top coat will help smooth out the bumps that the sponge may of left.
Step 7
Place some nail polish remover onto your q-tip and clean up all of the excess nail polish around the cuticles.
Step 8
Enjoy your pretty ombre nails!
