Ombre Nails-Purple

Big THANK YOU to my my friend Kara for inspiring me to do this! The picture she tagged me in was another amazing Ombre look, but definitely more for summer time! Purple is what I decided to go with....check it out! Enjoy!

What you need...
  1. Light, medium, and Dark Nail Polish colors.
  2. Top Coat
  3. Make up Application Sponge
  4. Q-tips
  5. Acetone
Step 1
  • Paint three stripes of nail polish on the sponge, going from light to dark (top right picture).
Step 2
  • Place the sponge face down on your finger nail (bottom left picture). Make sure to align it correctly and squeeze the sponge a little on the sides so that you cover the entire nail. You will need to repeat this step at least 2 times for each nail (or until you reach your desired color). As you can see in the bottom right picture, your nails will be a mess.
Step 3
  • Dip the Q-tip in acetone and use it to clean around the nails as best you can.
 Step 4
  • It is IMPORTANT that you let the three colors dry before applying your top coat (if still wet, it will smudge the colors). Once dry, apply top coat and your done! See below for the finished look!
Please feel free to request what you would like to see on my blog. I get really inspired by all of you! Thanks again for your support!
