Nails of the Week! Ombré!

Hey guys! 

This week I decided that I really wanted to try ombré because I love the way it looks! I have been really liking pastel colors lately so I also wanted to use a pretty light purple too. 


This is how my first attempt came out. I used Sally Hansens Hard as Nails in "Lacey Lilac" (one of my favorite colors) and for the ombré I used Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" for a white base coat and then I used Ulta's "On Taupe of the World" for that pretty nude ombré effect.



You can see I only did the ombré as an accent nail since I had never done ombré before, I didn't want to do all of my nails because I felt like that was doing way too much my first time. So I kept it simple and although it didn't turn out perfect, I think it looks really cool and I can't wait to try it out with bright colors! 

Of course I used the same base and top coat as last time, Seche Clear Base Coat and Sally Hansens Diamond Strength Base and Top Coat. 


I actually really love these two together. The first time I used them my nails lasted four to five days, which is a huge record for me. So I'm happy with it! 

Instead of explaining the ombré to you all I think I'll make a post about how to do it and I can show you a step by step process of it! I know I needed to watch a few videos on it before I tried it! 

Let me know if that's something you guys would like or if you have any other ideas or questions for me!
