Middle ombre nails
Supplies:
- Pink polish
- Maroon polish
- Hot-pink polish
- Top coat
- Tape
- Makeup sponge
Instructions:
Begin with a pink base coat and tape off the outside area of your nails. (Or you can clean up extra polish with a cotton swab and nail polish remover.)
Paint a gradient color block about the same length as your nails on the makeup sponge. Start with the maroon in the middle, then add hot-pink on either side of it and then medium pink on either side of that. You will need to do 2-3 coats to make sure there's enough polish on the sponge.
Press the sponge onto your nail, rocking from side to side to coat the whole nail. Let it dry for a minute and add more polish to the sponge. Then repeat the stamping motion a few more times for greater opacity, moving the placement of the sponge a bit each time to enhance the gradient effect.
While the polish is still wet, paint the top coat over the nails to blend the colors together even more. Remove the tape and you're done.
