Everyone seems to be using the Ombre/Gradient effect on their hair, clothes and nails.
Here's how I do the Ombre effect.
What you need:
Base/Top Coat
2/3 Nail varnishes
Sponge (make-up or kitchen)
Start with a base coat to protect your nails
Apply a base colour. I've used black
Once the base colour has dried, brush the other colour polish onto a piece of sponge
Sponge the colour onto the nail, focusing on the middle and the tip of the nail. Allow the sponged on varnish to dry completely
Then brush the darker colour onto the sponge and use the same sponging technique to apply the colour to the tip of the nail
Allow the varnish to dry completely and a apply a top coat
The products I used for this design were;
Base Coat: Barry M - Black
Light Blue (the first colour used): Barry M - Cyan Blue
Dark Blue (the second colour used): Barry M - Cobalt Blue
Top Coat: Collection 2000 - Sparkle Top Coat
