Gradient Fade Effect Ombre Nail Art Tutorial

Hi dolls!


In the little survey that I had done a few weeks ago a lot of you wanted to see a fade-effect,gradient,ombre (however you want to call it).
When I did the steampunk/Goth cross nail art with the 110 rhinestones,I totally forgot to take pictures of the gradient effect.*slaps herself*


Fade effect nail art is pretty easy,and it can be done with a lot of colors and nail polish types.And if you have a badly pigmented nail polish/holo top coat you can use it now.
You need:
1 background color
3 or 4 colors from the same color family
1 make up sponge
topcoat 
tissue
cotton swaps 
polish remover

Apply your background color and let it fully dry






You should have 3-4 colors from the same family.The polish with the worst pigmentation will be number 1





Apply a thin coat of number 1 to the edge of a make up sponge



Apply a thin coat of number 1 by lightly dabbing the sponge's edge onto your nail.The red dots show you how deep you can blend the polish.*Dry 5 min*





Now use the clean edge of the sponge and apply number 2 on your nails.You want to avoid creating harsh lines





Number 3.....


Number 4 the darkest color on the very tip,blend well.




Clean up the mess with a cotton swap and some polish remover and add 2 coats of quick dry topcoat.


Some sponges sometimes crumble and leave 1-2 spongy crumbs on your nail.Remove them with a pair of tweezers or a toothpick.

  1. Great tutorial!
    I'll definitely try this out sometime, although I'm afraid my nails are a bit too short for this :) It'll probably not look anywhere near as gorgeous as it does on your nails :D

  6. Sieht sehr geil aus!
    Meine Nägel sind zwar immer sehr kurz, aber ich werde es trotzdem ausprobieren :D Dann muss halt die Untergrundfarbe etwas weniger zu sehen sein ;)

    Liebe Grüße!
