If you were a lover of the whole ombre nail trend when it first came out but stopped wearing it because it fizzled out, get ready: ombre nails are back this season with a glittery punch.
We’ve seen the trend everywhere from award shows to streetstylers everywhere so it’s time to whip out your favorite solid and glittery nail polish combinations and get to DIYing. If you want to try out the trend, you’ll need to do the following:
Step 1: After you’ve shaped and buffed your nails, apply a base coat. When that dries, apply your favorite solid colored nail polish. Try to match the glitter polish you will be using. For example, if you’re using a silver glitter polish, choose a grey polish. Apply 2-3 coats to get a good opaque color on the nails.
Step 2: On a small plate or piece of paper, place some of your glitter nail polish. Don’t pour out a lot of it because it will dry out quickly and you’ll end up wasting it.
Step 3: Dip a sponge (makeup or even a piece of a cleaning sponge) into the glitter nail polish and saturate the tip of the nail. Then with whatever remaining polish you have, lightly dab towards the middle of the nail for the ombre effect.
Step 4: Repeat with all of the nails.
Step 5. After your nails have dried, apply a top coat.
