Glitter Ombre Nails

As requested I will be sharing some of my favourite Nail Hacks & Tutorials for the perfect DIY Manicure & Pedicures!!
This look is one of my absolute favourites right now for every day, it is very simple to do & can easily be switched up to look extra Festive for any Holiday or Event!!

     
What You Will Need:
  • A Base Colour/ Clear Coat
  • A small glitter polish
  • & large glitter/fleck polish
  • A clear Top coat – A good top coat can make or break the finished look of your nail art.
I absolutely swear by Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Clear Top Coat (retails for about $5.00)! I have shopped around and tried A LOT of different brands (including some of the higher end - and therefor much more expensive ones) but nothing seems to be as strong ,or have as amazing of a 'wet' shine look as this one!

Begin By Painting your entire nail with your Base colour/coat ( I went with just a classic white for mine).

Whether or not you want your Ombre to be on the tip of your nails or the nail bed – the application process will be the same you will just start from the apposing side. I went with the nail bed.
Once your base coat is completely dry - Starting with the smaller glitter polish start painting from the cuticle only going about half way down your nail ( allow the glitter to spread as it will for a nice gradual effect). If you want your tips to be Ombre than start at the end of your nail painting towards the cuticle

Once this is also completely dry - Using the second and Larger glitter polish you will repeat the same process as you did with the smaller glitter stopping just before you had with that (this will give you a natural looking faded effect)

Again waiting until after they are completely dry – Finish with your Clear Top Coat for added shine!

Never Be Afraid To Sparkle A Little Brighter
