In this blogpost I will show you how I apply an ombré pastel look on my nails which is currently trending!
Well ombre basically is the gradual mix of two colours. In this example, I am going to show you how to do this with:
– x3 nail polishes
Nail Ease-Blush
Avon colour trend- Very violet
Topshop- Awol 104
Topshop- Awol 104
-a cotton bud

Firstly, I applied the Nail Ease nail polish in the shade ‘Blush’ over all my nails as a base coat. This light pinky lilac colour is extremely natural and that is the way I like it. If you wish you could layer it up for a more pigmented effect.
Next, I add the ‘Very Violet’ shade of nail polish which has a slightly metallic undertone. This is applied on the tip of the nail.
Lastly, using the cotton bud, dab a little of the ‘Awol’ blue shade nail polish on it. As we want a blotting effect, excess can be blotted on some paper/tissue. Then start at the tip of the nail and work inwards. The blue should be darker at the tips and gradually get lighter.
Thats your ombré nails done!
You can experiment with all sorts of colours and be as dramatic or subtle as you like. What are your favorite colours to ombre?
