Cute (ombre) Nails // Valentine's Day 2015

Faded ombre nails are so cute. Pink ombres, even more cute. I can't even handle it. In another life, I probably had ombre pink hair. I'm channeling that with this nail look. I opted for three pink-hued colours from Wet n Wild. I find nail polish ombres work best with three colours, as just two doesn't fade as nicely. 

How to ombre your nails: 

(1) Apply a white or off-white base colour. Since I did a pink ombre, I used a white with a pink tinge. Let it dry for 10-15 minutes. 

(2) Paint a stripe of each of your ombre colours onto a cosmetic sponge (the less porous the sponge, the better) and pat off the excess on a piece of paper.

(3) To transfer the color onto the nail, lightly dab the sponge on the nail bed. You can go over the each nail more than once for a more opaque ombre effect. 

(4) Seal in the deal with a clear top coat.
