Ombre/Dip Dye Nails

Ombre nails are one of the latest fashion trends when it comes to nail art. It's a perfect match to any outfit because it can be done with more decent as well as brighter colours. For today's post I used Essie 'Off the Shoulder' (223A), 'Bikini so teeny' (219A) and a KIKO basecoat/topcoat. It takes a little time at first, but as soon as you figure out the technique, it gets easier and easier. All you need besides the colors of your choice is a makeup sponge (or sponge of any kind), Q-Tips and nail polish remover. 

Here are the steps:

1. Apply basecoat
2. Apply the lighter color of the two colors you chose for the dip dye and let it dry
3. Take the thinner side of the sponge, apply lines of both colors and press on each of your nails (you may do that 2-3 times on each nail to get the desired effect)

  

4. Remove nail polish around your nails (there's almost no way to get it done without having nail polish on your fingers)

5. When the color is completely dry, apply topcoat

 

And of course you can use more than two colours! Have fun trying it! -xoxo
