Ombre 2.0 (Glitter)

Ombre 2.0 (Glittery!)

This is similar to the traditional Ombre, except it has glitter!

Color used:
Sinful Colors - Daddy's Girl
China Glaze - Grape Juice

You will Need: A couple of makeup sponges, a piece of paper, 2 similar colors of your choice (one with glitter for your tips!) and a top coat.

1.) Prep Nails (remove polish, file, buffer, apply base coat, etc.)
2.) Apply 2 coats of you bottom color. In this picture, I used Sinful Color's Daddy's Girl. (It is a deep purple, with a bit of sparkle)
3.) Let dry (5-10 minutes at least)
4.) Sponge on your tip color. In this picture, I used China Glaze - Grape Juice. Sponge from the middle of the nail towards the tip.
5.) Apply top coat after sponging on the color for each nail BEFORE you move on the the next nail. (This lets the colors blend nicely)

Tips: I like to use Orly's Nail Defense as a base and top coat. It keeps nails from chipping, and works as a wonderful glossy top coat. I absolutely fell in love with the Ombre technique because of the many combinations of colors you can create.

Happy Manicuring!
