Recently I found a really cute set of nail polishes and wanted to try an "easy" ombre manicure with them. I found this set at Ross (kind of like a TJ Maxx) for $4.99.
So as you can see they are mini polishes ranging from neon yellow to pink - they don't appear as neon here as they do on. The formula is rather thick (but you get what you pay for). The polish dries to a matte finish which I find typical on neon polishes.
I decided to just paint each nail a different color rather than doing the actual ombre - but because the colors are "matched" it would be easy to do the real thing.
I think it turned out pretty swell - I have a shiny topcoat on (Salley Hansen's Diamond Coat). And I did my other hand the exact same way.
So what's your verdict?

I need to try this. I am a nail polish jukie.
ReplyDeleteMy hand looks like a bunch of skittles! It's kind of fun though :)
DeleteI absolutely love this! I love warm colours. I need to try out an ombre look like this.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you have enough polishes to do it - I'm excited to be wearing bright pinks again :)And I just saw the new Essie Resort and Summer polishes today and they are amazeballs!
DeletePretty!! I need to do some summer ombre nails.
ReplyDeleteI kind of really love it - and kind of felt childish at work today like a grown woman who doesn't know how to paint her nails.
DeleteThis is so pretty and such great shades for spring and summer. Love ombre nails, I need to try that look.
ReplyDeleteI need to do the "real" ombre thing soon - but I have seen other kits like this - so I am excited to try more:)
DeleteI've been reading some of your blog everyday posts and catching up on what I missed while I was gone and I Love love this manicure! Perfect way to switch things up!
