Ombre nails!

Ombre nails have been a recent favourite of mine and there super easy to do! For mine i decided i wanted to have my base colour as nude so it looked more simple however if you wanted to do a more vibrant colour it would still look amazing. Then the glitter colour i used to ombre was a gorgeous gold that i thought would look stunning for the autumn. I also loved this nail polish because the glitter sizes were all different so i got a nice built up look. 

step 1- Coat your nails in a clear or nude base coat of your choice

step 2- After you've applied your base coat paint on the main colour of your choice. As you can see i used a nude colour because i wanted all of the attention on the glitter however vibrant colours still work 

step 3- Once you are satisfied with how your main colour looks apply a thin coat of the glitter all over your nail. As i said the glitter in mine was of all different sizes so it worked well at this stage as the smaller pieces just gave a little bit of glitz at the top of my nail. If your glitter is of medium to small size you might want to skip this step as it will ruin the whole ombre look

step 4- Then about half way down your nail apply another coat

step 5- Repeat step 4 but instead of starting at the same place (half way down the nail) move down slightly so you get this gradual look

step 6- Once you have gotten to the tip of your nail, it should look like it has a slight shimmer at the top of your nail and gradually gets thicker to the tip 

step 7- Once you are satisfied with how the glitter looks depending on how the glitter feels dry you may want to put a top coat on. I didn't need too as the glitter nail polish i used meant i couldn't feel the individual piece but you may want a smoother feel to your nail

step 8- Embrace the glitz and show off your amazing nails! At this stage you may want to Instagram them ;) 

Hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and love the look as much as i do!
