Sunset Nails

Hello everybody! My next nail art challenge was to do an ombre and since summer is getting closer I decided to do one inspired by a beautiful summer sunset.

The polishes I used for this tutorial were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri shades in “Man-go Team!” (#30) and “Lightening” (#280), NYC “French White Tip” (#134), and Sinful Colors “Hazard” (#952). You will also need a makeup sponge and Elmer’s all-purpose glue.

To start your ombre you will first need to apply a white base coat to all of your nails and let that dry. To protect the skin around the nail I applied Elmer’s glue, which I put in an empty nail polish bottle, for an easy clean up afterwards. For the ombre itself I painted the three colors side by side on my clean makeup sponge and patted that all over my nails. I did this twice for each nail, but depending on how opaque you want it you can do it more or less. Once that is dry you can pull off the glue around your nails and you should be left with clean skin! Add a topcoat and your mani is done!

I hope you guys like this design. Sorry for the polish looking so textured, it's just old. If you want to watch the video tutorial you can click here. Make sure you are keeping up with my #NailArtApr challenge on my Instagram (not everything gets a blog post). See you soon. BYYEEE
