Manicure Monday - The Ombre

Recently while bored I tried out a new nail design.
A simple white bar over my teal nail polish. I had so many compliments on it I decided to start experimenting with new ideas

After a joyful reunion with Pinterest, I found some amazing ideas.

My favourite was the Ombre manicure


My Ombre

It involves 3 shades of a nailpolish pressed onto your nail with a sponge. (It's a messy business, but the result is pleasingly different)

I used -

White

Pale natural pink

Neon pink

- to achieve the result above.


I am not sure about the obvious contrast - so I would love to try this with a candy pink as my 2nd shade and use the pale pink for shade 1.

Do you like to experiment?
What are your favourite/ interesting nail designs?
