Ombre Nails!







Nail Art and Designs have become just as much a fashion statement as clothing and can really pull together an outfit. Ombre Nails is a new trend that uses different colours and tones to create a gradient effect and I am obsessed!
Suprisingly, Ombre Nails are actually very simple to create. All you need is nail polish and a makeup sponge. To create this amazing look all you need to do is paint your nails wihite, this will act as a base and make the colours more vibrant, it doesn't have to be perfect just make sure it is opaque. Once the base is completely dry, you will need to cut the sponge to the size of your nail, to avoid a messy polish all around your fingers. Apply a line of each colour you want to use onto the sponge and dab it on your nails. It really is that simple! Just make sure you use the sponge to blend the colours well and apply a topcoat once the polish has dried.
I have tried doing this before and changed the colour combination this time, it's so fun to see what colours go well together.

The nail polishes I used were:
OPI- Alpine Snow
OPI- No Room For The Blues
OPI- A Grape Fit!
Rubi Shoes- Spearmint

I hope you enjoyed my first official post and try out this super cute DIY manicure because trust me, you are sure to turn some heads! T xx
