Moreover, ombre on nails is only one part of the image; today fashionistas can use such a smooth transition of shades and tones in hair color, in clothes, and when selecting various accessories.

The popularity of ombre is due to its unusualness and variety of design options.

The ombre technique involves a smooth transition from one nail polish color to another, and you can make a manicure from a two-color palette, combine three or more colors, add original decorative elements in the form of sparkles, patterns, etc.

You can combine different colors with each other, it's all about your preferences. You can also combine polishes with different textures and use ombre on extended nails.

In this option, you can use several colors of varnish, where one tone will smoothly flow into another.
3. Ombre with film. Take film, foil or a regular file, onto which drop drop by drop the varnishes whose palette you have chosen - shades of the same color or contrasting colors.

Ombre nail design: various options for applying shades to artificial nails

If you don’t naturally have the best shape for your nails or you want to quickly get long nails, you can extend them and use an ombre nail design.

Ombre acrylic powder

When trying different options for applying shades to extended nails, you can start with the simplest thing - acrylic powder, which easily creates the desired variations in color transitions.

For example, apply a white base polish to your nails and let it dry for a couple of minutes. The layer of varnish should be thin so that the powder sticks neatly and does not become too large quantity grains.

Now take a fan brush, dip it in the powder and lightly tap it on the nail. You should start the process from the base of the nail to the area where you plan to mix colors. To get a softer, more diffused effect, lift the brush higher as it moves toward the middle of the nail plate.

Thus, we apply the second color and send it all under the lamp. After the powder has dried, remove excess powder with a brush and sand the coating to obtain an even and smooth texture. Brush off the powder again and cover everything with a fixative.

Ombre with acrylic paints

A stylish and beautiful transition between colors can also be achieved using acrylic paints. To create the required color design, you will need a set of paints and volumetric brushes.

First, apply the lightest color to the tip of the nail and blend it down to the base. The second color should be mixed on foil or any other available product and applied next to the first, forming a neat transition. Now again apply the second shade directly to the nail and combine it with the palette that is already on the nails.

If desired, you can apply a beautiful pattern to the resulting result and secure everything with transparent varnish.

Today, gel polishes are very popular, having very rich and rich, deep colors and a rich shade palette.

It’s quite easy to get a trendy ombre nail design using these polishes.

At the beginning of the process, you should degrease the surface of the nail plate and apply the first layer of varnish, dry it with a lamp. Now you can use the second type of varnish and shade the border between the two colors with a thin brush and dry. Apply sealer and remove all traces of polish around the nail.

Ombre manicure: step by step using polish or gel polish

In order to do an ombre manicure step by step and correctly, you must prepare properly.

First of all, collect the necessary set of tools with which you will create such luxurious beauty.

As you learn, you may need other additional tools and decorative products to create a manicure.

You will need:

• varnishes different colors and textures, acrylic paints;
• nail polish remover, fixatives;
• brushes of different lengths and volumes;
• cosmetic sponges with different grain sizes;
• toothpicks;
• cotton sponges;
• oil or special product to protect the cuticle and area around the nail from varnish;
• ultraviolet lamp (if you use gel polishes or have extended nails).

How to make a manicure with nail polish step by step, let's look at simple example, let's look at the technique of applying a design with regular varnish:

		Step 1 Get your nails in order, remove cuticles, polish the nail plate and give it the desired shape.
		Step 2 Apply base polish to the nails of both hands and let them dry.
		Step 3 Apply the colors of varnish that you chose for your nail design to the product at hand. You should drip the varnish in the sequence that you want to depict in the manicure and shade the boundaries between them.
		Step 4 Take a sponge and dab it in this palette, then gently press the sponge onto the surface of the nail. There is no point in putting pressure, because... the varnish will be absorbed into the sponge and you will not get the desired effect; you will have to repeat the procedure. Repeated application of varnishes makes the manicure deeper and richer
		Step 5 After drying, cover the nails with a fixative and remove all blemishes around the nails using nail polish remover.

If you use a brush rather than a sponge to apply varnish, try to make each layer the same in volume as the previous one, so as not to create unevenness and create a beautiful and smooth transition from one color to another.

In the case of gel polish, you will need an ultraviolet lamp, thanks to which the polish will dry faster and stay on the nails for up to 2 weeks:

• Degrease the nail plate.
• Apply a base coat of varnish and dry it under a lamp.
• Apply the next coat of varnish and dry again.
• Finish coating and drying.
• Removing sticky moose from the nail plate using an alcohol-containing product.

Today it is very fashionable to do a stretched ombre, which can be done perfectly with the help of gel polishes and its implementation does not cause any trouble.

The preparatory steps are the same as for any other ombre technique. Apply the base color and dry under the lamp.

Now, from the base of the nail, apply one color to the middle, and then, from the tip of the nail, apply the second color. Take the thinnest brush and carefully combine two colors, making a smooth flow of one into the other. As you work on each nail, you should wipe the brush so that the color is rich and bright, not dirty and faded. Apply top coat and dry your nails under the lamp.

You can shade the varnishes in any direction, and when using a multi-color palette, you can generally create original and creative abstract art with smooth and contrasting transitions.

The second method is much easier, but more material is needed to complete the task.

1. As in the first method, prepare the nail for application and degrease the surface.
2. Apply the base and dry.
3. Gel polish needs to be applied to some surface and the border shaded.
4. First you need to dip the sponge into the gel and then apply it to the nail; after this procedure, two colors remain on the nail.
5. Dry the applied mixture well.
6. Carefully remove the sticky layer without leaving any lint.
7. Finally, apply a sealing layer and dry well.

For this method, one layer is enough, so you can get a beautiful manicure; it should be medium in density. It is important that if the gel thickness is increased, wrinkling may occur during drying.

Note!

If you choose the first method, wipe the brush every time to maintain pure shades. If you want to save time, use a thicker brush. The best assistant for a beautifully executed French manicure is colorless varnish. It will retain a white tint. If you choose the second method, treat the skin around the nail with any cream in advance; this will help you easily remove any remaining polish.
