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!
