ABC Nail Challenge: O is for Ombre

Hey everyone! We're on the letter O in the ABC Nail Challenge this week, (already)!  This week has been a crazy one for me, so much that I knew I wouldn't have time to do my nails or at least with the effort I would want. I remembered an ombre manicure I did recently and figured I would post those pictures instead of skipping out totally this week.

Savage and Scandal by Sinful Colors are such pretty colors alone and I really like how they look together. The more I look at these pictures they remind me of the summer, the beach and cotton candy!

This was my first go at ombre nail art so I played it safe with two colors but I want to try it again soon with three or four. It's a fun look and easy to do even though it was more of last years trend, I don't care. I'm looking forward to next week and coming up with something fun for the letter P. You should definitely check out the looks from the other participants in this challenge :)

Blue & Pink Ombre Nails!

I know the whole Ombre trend was last year but I decided to try them out on my nails (I know I'm behind the times lol). I'm actually surprised that this was my first time since I love trying new nail art trends.

But anyway, I just wanted to do a quick post showing you how they came out. I didn't pick the usual lighter to darker colors within the same shade. I used Scandal and Savage by Sinful Colors because I think they look gorgeous together.

If anything the color combo reminds me of spring/summer or a bright sunny day. A few of the nails didn't blend together as well as I would have liked but its okay.

This was one of the easiest nail art looks I've done. I applied 2 coats of white polish as my base. I cut one of those white makeup sponges in half and used the flat side to paint one half blue and the other pink. Then I just aligned the sponge up with my nail and kept dabbing onto my nails and then repeated the process of painting the sponge and dabbing. So I did two coats using the sponge. (If that made any sense). Adding a coat of Seche Vite makes such a difference, before they looked a little splotchy but the topcoat made them look nice and shiny!!!

What do you think of my blue and pink ombre nails?
