Pink Ombre

1st Successful Ombre Nails!

 

 

The right hand was tricky.

A little messy still.
 

I've practiced the ombre/gradient look before, but hadn't found the right color combos or technique that worked for me until now. I've tried multiple tutorials online, The Nailasaurus has a great one, but I found the makeup sponge to be messy and time consuming, though does give great results, if you practice it enough.
So I randomly grabbed some colors I hadn't used in awhile:

My longtime favorite Classic Coral Creme, is a sparkly bright pink with an almost sheer finish. I love it! I'm pretty sure I've never used the purple one before, but it's light, sparkly and blended perfectly with NYC's Wall Street, a creamy light pink.  I used a dotting tool for the dots on the accent nails.

Considering I wasn't even planning on doing a gradient look, and only had a limited time to get em done, (happy hr ends at 6,) I think they came out quite well. Oh and btw I did most of my right hand while driving (a stick shift) to Chevy's- Now that's talent. Oh yeah I topped these off with a glittery top coat- Wet n Wild's Hallucination, which actually came off a little chunky and thick, if I'd had more time, I would've searched for an easier to apply glittery finish. This one's gotta be a few years old, and could use some thinner but it did the job. I will say this again, bad photo quality I KNOW, I suck. One day, I will use a real camera! hahaa
