Ombre - White to pink

Hello!
Ive been trying out a new technique, Ombre. It takes some practice, but i finally came up with this! 











You will need: 

  • White polish
  • Light pink
  • darker/brighter pink
  • 1 make up sponge
However, you can do this in any colours.

Also, it may seem pointless to use white on white, but it helps it blend



1. Paint all your nails white.

2. Wet your make up sponge, so the colour doesnt completely absorb before you can put it on!

3. Paint a line of each colour on your sponge, from the lightest to the darkest.
















Note: You just do this one at a time, ignore my sponge, it was after i had done all my practices.

4. Sponge it onto the nails. Repeat until the colour has built up enough! 
On your ring finger, you can do the pattern in reverse.
