HOW TO: Ombre Nails

While I did not think Ombre hair is my style, Ombre nails I love.  



HOW TO:
  1.  Apply a layer of the lighter color as a base and let it dry completely (June 539)
  2. Soak the makeup sponge in water and squeeze out about 80% of it leaving it damp (This keeps it from absorbing the nail polish)
  3. Apply the base color across the top of the sponge (June 539) and the other color following right below (May 535)
  4. Line the tip of the sponge with your nails and start dabbing away.
  5. Re-apply each nail polish on to the sponge for every other nail.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 when applying a new layer for each nail. Make sure each layer is atleast 70% dry before sponging again to avoid any smudging.
  7. Once satisfied with the intensity of the ombre, clean up the sides with either a Q-tip/ paint brush dabbed with nail polish remover.
  8. Apply a top coat once the polish has dried. This will help even out and blend the Ombre.
HAPPY FRIDAY!
