NAIL ART 102 - SHIMMER SUNRISE OMBRE

Now that spring is in the air I saw it fit to finally be able to dedicate some nail art to this weather. To that I present to you Shimmer Sunrise - my ode to spring time.

Lets get artsy.......




  • White Nail Polish
  • Yellow Nail Polish
  • Shimmer Peach Nail Polish
  • Clear Nail Polish
  • Make up sponge
  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Cotton Balls
  • Cotton swaps




We are going for the Ombre style look so this is how it is done (hopefully the pictures are sufficient enough.. well I hope you get the drift....


Step 1 - Clean and shape your nails to your desire.....


Step 2 - Get your make up sponge and wet it so that it doesn't allow the nail polish to seep in.


Step 3 - Put two strokes of each color on to the make up sponge (again do so as you desire)

Step 4 - Press the sponge against the nail (back and forth).. this will start the ombre color


Step 5 - Continue adding strokes of nail polish and pressing it against the nail until there is more color and style to be seen.


Step 6 - Clean around your nails with nail polish remover, cotton balls and cotton swaps then brush over clear nail polish

Voila!!! - Shimmer Sunrise Ombre!!!


Try some different colors and/or embellishments... see what you come up with..

    1. That was funny.... it is actually easier than the brush.... you make the mess of the colors (which creates the ombre) and clean around the edges.. you will love it Jamie.. try your own colors
