Ombré nails are a form of manicure that has a colour gradient. This post will demonstrate how to make French Ombre Nails.
Ombré nails (like ombré hair) are a form of manicure that creates a colour gradient. A bright colour on the tip of the nail eventually fades into a deeper hue.
Instagram nail art videos are strangely fulfilling, and they make you want to have flawless nails. If you are a newbie, the ombre effect is a difficult piece of art to master. But did you know you can learn this skill from the comfort of your own home? If you’re just starting off, stick to the classic French ombre.
The difference between a French manicure and a French ombre is that instead of a sharp separation between the white nail tip and the nail base, the white nail tips gradually dissolve into the flesh or a nude foundation.
What You’ll Require
- The base coat (clear nail polish)
- Nail polish in white
- Nail polish in natural or skin tones
- Latex liquid tape
- A Q-tip or a tiny brush
- Makeup sponge that is disposable
- The top coat
- Nail polish remover
Step 1: Put on the Base Coat
Begin with well manicured nails. Allow your nails to dry after applying the base coat to preserve them.
Step 2: Apply the flesh-toned or naked nail polish.
Allow two coats of a flesh-toned or nude nail polish to dry.
Step 3: Cover the cuticles with liquid latex tape.
Wrap your nails in liquid latex tape. It shields the skin from the filth and simply pulls off. Allow it to dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 4: Paint the Sponge with White Nail Polish.
Apply a large quantity of white nail paint to the disposable sponge’s tip. Before painting the colours, wet the sponge.
Squeeze the sponge until 80% of the water has been removed. This is due to the fact that too much water might prevent the sponge from absorbing as much nail polish and cause the lacquer to dry on the sponge too soon.
Step 5: Paint the Sponge with the bare or flesh-toned nail polish.
To achieve a gradient look, apply a large amount of the nude or flesh-toned nail paint beneath the sponge tip.
Step 6: Apply the Sponge to the Nail.
Dab the white nail paint onto your nails while holding the sponge so that the white nail polish is at the tip.
Step 7: Repetition of Steps 5 and 6.
To get the required colour intensity, layer additional nail paint on the sponge and stamp it over your nails. Allow it to dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 8: Get Rid of the Liquid Latex Tape.
Remove the liquid latex tape with your fingers or a brush.
Step 9: Apply the Finishing Coat
Use the top coat to smooth out any texture and make your nails shine.
