Ombre

Hey!

This week's mani is a look that I have seen in lots of pictures online but never tried until now. I don't know why I was so hesitant to try it, it really is pretty simple! For this look you will need a cosmetic sponge and two colors of nail polish.

I started out with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy. I then did two coats of Sei Bella Robin's Egg Blue. Once dry I painted the edge of my cosmetic sponge, making two horizontal lines, one underneath the other (in Sei Bella Robin's Egg Blue and Julep Teri). I then lightly patted the sponge onto my nail, starting at about halfway down the nail. I did this twice. Once completely dry I sealed my manicure with a fast drying top coat of INM Out the Door.

Finished!

Doesn't that look so cool?! The look really comes together once you put on the top coat, it gives it that airbrushed look. When you are painting with the sponge, don't put too much polish on, as it can make it clump; you want it to just lightly coat the nail as if you were using the sponge as a stamp. Pretty easy and so fun!! I hope you enjoyed this look and I'll see you next time!
