Purple Ombre Nails

Ombre is big! Whether its on clothing or makeup. Subsequently, it has to be on nails too! Today we are going to learn about purple ombre nails.

You will need:
  • white nail polish
  • Essie-Nice is Nice polish
  • China Glaze-Spontaneous
  • China Glaze-Coconut Kiss
  • OPI-Siberian Nights
  • makeup sponge
  • cotton swab
  • bottle cap
  • nail polish remover

First, paint a white base coat on all your nails. This will make the colors pop! Let it dry now. Next, dampen your makeup sponge and get out all the excess water. Take your polishes and paint a stripe going light to dark. (As shown in the picture)

In addition, line the sponge up against your nail and press down. It's okay if the color gets on your skin because we can clean that up later. However, be careful not to overdo it! Do this with all your nails and then start adding a second and third coat so it becomes darker. Now let it dry.

Now lets clean up all the excess polish on your skin! Pour a little bit of nail polish remover in a bottle cap. Dip your cotton swab into that and rub it on the excess polish. Be careful not to get it on your nails! You may also add a top coat if you like.

ENJOY!

Pink Leopard Nails

Animal Prints are big these days! Why don't you try out pink leopard print nails? They look marvelous on your nails and its very enjoyable too!
 
You Will Need:
  • light pink polish (Pure Ice-Love works best!)
  • whitish pink polish (Orly-Kiss the Bride works best!)
  • hot pink polish (China Glaze-Rich and Famous works best!)
  • tiny pointed paint brush
  • piece of paper
First, take the light pink polish (Pure Ice) and paint a base coat on all your nails. Make sure it dries completely before you do anything else. Next, take the whitish pink polish (Orly) and make random spots on your nails with a tiny pointed paint brush. Make sure not to keep too much nail polish on the brush because then it will look like globs on your nail. In addition, dip your paint brush into the hot pink polish (China Glaze) and put a small glob of polish on the piece of paper. Take the excess polish off your paint brush. 

Furthermore, take a little polish from the glob and make a semi-rounded line along the spot on your nail. Then make a another one and make sure they connect.Make one more line on the bottom and there's your one spot! Now do the same with all the spots! Once you're done and all has dried, take the same color and make random small circles just for design. After that dries, just put on a top clear coat!

ENJOY!

Tie Dye Nails!

Welcome back! I was just thinking how spring is here and summer is going to bounce in after a few months. This is my first post on nails so we are going to start by learning how to make tie dye nails! Well, lets get started!

You will need:
  • Clear top coat
  • Any four colors of nail polish that look good together
  • A pin or needle
  • A paper towel
First, take one of your nail polish colors and color in a small circle in the middle of your nail. In addition, take another color and make a circle around the middle one. Make sure that the colors you choose to put together are able to blend. Next, take your third color and make another circle. Furthermore, choose your last color and make one last circle.

Make sure that your nails didn't dry yet because now we need to blend the colors! Take the pin or needle and make any lines to blend. You can make straight lines or even curved. After that dries, apply a top clear coat. Clean up the excess nail polish before you say you are done! Have fun with your nails and hope you liked my first nail post!
