Nails #12 Ombre

On the last ombre nails post, Jasmin from the Happy Sloths said something like 'Ombre always looks good' and I said pah! You should see the awfulness I have come up with! But, now, I have to agree. once you get the hang of it, it's super easy and simple. I'm grateful for that though because it's so pretty! I do have one word of wisdom though, and if you're a painter you'll already know - use the lighter colour as the base coat.

I used an essie blue and a rimmel green. SUCH a bad beauty blogger. I will add this information in soon.

Nails #11 Ombre

No, my hair is not going to be some bright shade of ginger and auburn.. I mean my nails! I had so much fun trying this technique out. I tried it once before by doing just the nail varnish on the make up sponge, but that was very very thin, so like a good student I research it some more and figured out that people do one colour first, so I chose the pink, and then still do both the colours on the make up sponge to make sure it blends nicely. 

 

Of course I got better as it as I went along, so I'd rather not show you my right hand, haha! But I am very glad I tried this colour combination, as I wasn't a fan of the orange just by itself, so now I don't need to throw it away! Hooray! and I will definitely be trying this out with more combinations, because I love looking down at my nails and seeing how pretty they are :D

Have you tried this? What technique do you use?
