I attempted the ombre nail look and really did not like the colors I chose. I am in more of a blue mood than pink, so this is what I came up with.
Products
A sponge
OPI Nail Polish in "I Want to Be a Lone Star"
Essie polish in Smooth Sailing
Cinna Top Coat
Concealer Brush
Acetone Polish Remover
Steps
I started with two coats of I Want to Be a Lone Star on all of my nails. I applied a strip of Smooth Sailing to the sponge; this takes a bit of polish. I dabbed Smooth Sailing all over my nails, with the exception of the middle finger. I did add some nail art pieces that looked like sea glass, but I was not a fan of how it looked, so I took it off. Finally, I added a a top coat. To clean up my nails, I dipped an old, clean concealer brush into nail polish remover and went around my nails. I found this to be more precise than a Q-tip.
