My Obre Nails


I painted my nails yesterday with the colors fuchsia and purple. :)

I am not a typical girl that paints her nails once in a while but I got hooked with painting my nails last week. I went to Watsons drug store yesterday and saw this 2 beautiful colors and remembered the ombre tutorial that my sister showed me. I bought the nail lacquers and gave it a try. :)

The first step I do is moisturizing my hands. Then, I paint my nails with a base color first, which is a translucent one.
Then I paint my nails with the color that I want as a base for the ombre, so I picked the pink one. Next is having an acetate or something that is plastic. I used the plastic that came with the blush brush. I dab the pink polish in the plastic and the purple one beside it. With a small stick, mix the 2 colors. Not too much, just  for the 2 colors to meet. Then, with a sponge, dab it in the mixture like so...
And pat it in the nails to look like this...
Lastly, cover the paint with the transparent nail lacquer to have a shiny and the paint will stay longer than having none. :)
