Welcome to Manicure Mondays!!!

OMBRE NAILS






Hey everyone and welcome to Manicure Mondays :)!!! I thought I would start off this series with a fun nail art. I decided to do Blue Ombre nails. Hope you enjoy!!



The three nail polishes that I used for this look were; Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Cobalt Blue, Sinful Colors in Savage, and L.A. Colors in #572. The Cobalt Blue is gorgeous. It's such a nice deep blue color with a shimmery finish, but not glittery like some nail polishes. I only needed one coat of this for my base. The polish goes on super smooth and truly does dry instantly. i would definitely recommend this nail polish.



After the base was dry, which only took about a minute, I used the Sinful Colors in Savage to start my ombre design. To get this look I put a few drops of the polish on a paper plate and used a sponge to lightly dab the color on the tips of my nails. This polish took a few dabs to show up on top of the Cobalt blue. Savage is a light flat teal color.


Because Savage is a flat teal color, I did not like the way it looked against the shimmery Cobalt Blue. I decided to take L.A. Colors #572 and place it on top of the Savage color to create more of a shimmer. I used the same sponge method as I did before. #572 is a light shimmery teal color and looks absolutely amazing against the Cobalt Blue.


I finished off with a Revlon No Chip Top Coat to keep the shine and called it a day :) Al of these colors can be purchased at a drugstore such as Walgreens or CVS. Comment below if you liked this post and tell me what you'd like to see next :)!!
