Today for Manicure Monday I have a tutorial to share with you! This was my first attempt at ombre nails (or gradient nails) and overall I think it went really well! Here is what to do:
I think it's a fun look! It would have been much easier (and less messy) if I used a makeup sponge, but I didn't have any at home. Also, I don't think there was enough difference between the first and second color. But, you get the idea! The colors I used were Sally Hansen "Mint Sorbet" (base), NYC "Mint Macaroon" (2nd color), Nicole by OPI "Green Up Your Act" (3rd color), and Wet n' Wild "Kaleidoscope" (glitter).
So, what do you think? Have you tried this before?

I love your manicure monday posts! Now I think I need to go do something with these bare nails of mine!
ReplyDeleteOh good! Sometimes I think to myself "no one cares about my nailpolish, why am I posting this?" So glad to hear that someone likes it!!
DeleteThis is so cute! Love the look.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteThis looks great! At first I didn't know where you were going with the rag... but love the way it turned out!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, yeah...the rag is totally not ideal. But sometimes you just have to work with what you've got! Thanks!
DeleteIt looks SO GOOD, Jenny! I've been wanting to try this for awhile and I'm just scared of the mess factor, but I need to grab myself some makeup sponges and go for it. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily! You do need to just go for it! The mess is nothing a little nail polish remover can't fix :)
ReplyDeleteJenny! That is REALLY cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous! I love that ombre look. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I appreciate your comments:) Have a great week!

Thanks for posting this! I will have to try this again.. I can never EVER do anything with nail polish right. It always looks like my 3 year old niece did them. They turned out gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've used the makeup sponge and it works well! Visiting from Mani Monday, can't wait for more manis!
