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..
That's great!! Even with the dumb brush, I can never get it on right - now I might have a chance!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat 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
DeleteYou make this look so easy. I will tell my daughter about this as she loves nail art
ReplyDeleteI never thought about using a sponge for nail polish!
ReplyDeleteYou would be surprised the stuff that are fun to use with nail polish and nail art... have you ever thought about using the clear designed gift paper? that is also great
DeleteAlways wanted to try ombre nails. I have a ton of nail polish so I just need the sponge. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.
