Gradient with splashes
This trendy manicure is in trend today. A rich blueberry shade that turns into a soft blue color cannot leave any girl indifferent. How to make an ombre manicure of this plan? First of all, you need to prepare the nail plates for work. Wash them down with a buff, and then degrease them. To make the nail polish last longer, you need to apply a base coat on the nail. Now we can start creating the gradient. First, paint over the nail with blue varnish. Please note that the lightest shade is always applied to the nail and only then the darkest. In this case, it will be convenient to form smooth transitions. After the first layer of color has dried, you can create a gradient. We paint over the base of the nail with a dark blue color by 1/3. Now we take a flat syntheticbrush and make a smooth stretch. If the result did not satisfy you the first time, you can apply a dark color to the base of the nail again and make a second attempt. The final action is to cover the result with the top.
Shiny Ombre
If the soul demands a holiday, do not resist this impulse. Get shiny nails. They will cheer up not only you, but also those around you. This pink ombre manicure looks stylish and very girlish. You can experiment. For example, make one nail shiny, and depict a gradient on the rest, reminiscent of a French manicure. How to repeat a similar ombre? This manicure is very easy to do. The nails are filed with a buff, and then they should be degreased. Now you need to apply camouflage to the nail plates. We paint over the free edge of the nail in pink, and with a thin synthetic brush we make a smooth stretch. On one of the fingers, the stretch should be done with a shiny varnish. Overlay the final result with the top.
Ombre with rubbing
Today you will not surprise anyone with the texture of foil or metal on nails. But the ombre manicure looks stylish and unusual. Therefore, if you like experiments, then you can afford to sit for an hour or two and try to invent something new. For example, a gradient with a rub. The principle of operation should be like this. We file and degrease the nails, and then apply camouflage on them. It can be either pink or beige. Now you should cover the nail up to half with a top without a sticky layer anddry it. We rub a rub into half of the nail, but we do it not with our fingers, but with an applicator. Your task is to make a smooth transition between the color and the shiny surface. To achieve this, you need to press the applicator well at the base of the nail and lightly touch the center. It turns out an interesting effect of double texture. It remains to fix the manicure with a top and dry the result.
Gentle gradient
Do you want to achieve a smooth transition? Ombre manicure, whose colors consist of white, pink and lilac, will be able to satisfy your desire. The nails look gentle, and most importantly, the color palette repeats the shades fashionable this season. If you are unable to create a gradient with a brush, then you can try the second option. How to make a smooth transition? Use a sponge. Let's take a look at the step by step process. We file and degrease the nails, then apply the base and the main color. Now we put three drops of the desired varnishes on the palette and with the help of a toothpick we make smooth transitions between them. We print the varnish on the sponge, and then we make an impression on the nail. To make the gradient effect more pronounced, you should slightly move the sponge along the growth of the nail before removing it. It remains to remove the excess varnish that got on the skin rollers, and then fix the manicure with a finish.
Contrast pastel
If you want to make a fashionable ombre manicure, but at the same time use contrasting or very different colors from each other, you will again have to resort to the technology of applying varnish with a sponge. The principle of operation will be the same as in the previous paragraph. We file the nails and degrease them. Now you should apply pink varnish on all nails and dry them. So that later there are no problems with removing the remnants of varnish, the side skin rollers can be pre-glued with adhesive tape. Now mix pink and turquoise on the palette. If you don't have a palette, you can use a piece of foil. Now we print the varnish on the sponge and with a shift we make an imprint on the nail. Remove the tape from the fingers and cover the manicure with a finish.
Red with black
If you have an airbrush at home, then you can use it to make an ombre manicure for short nails. The gradient technique will be much easier. After all, you do not have to mix the varnish and then transfer it. It will only be necessary to spray the paint in one direction. How will the process work step by step? We file and degrease the nails. Now you need to cover them with a base. We apply the main color on the nail plates, in our case - red. Now we drip a few drops of varnish into the airbrush. We turn on the device and drive air through the system. It is necessary to spray paint on a sheet of paper for a few seconds before starting work. Now we tone the nail. We direct the airbrush not at the nail itself, but just below its free edge. We make sure that the gradient on all fingers is the same. After the work is done, we apply the top.
Gradient across three colors
Do you want an ombre manicure for short nails? In this case, you canexperiment with different colors. So you can visually make the nail plate longer, and the design more interesting. You need to choose pastel colors that will blend well with each other. It is better not to use bright shades, they are not in fashion today, and trendy dark tones do not mix well with each other. When you have decided on the color scheme, you can directly proceed to the very process of work. We file and degrease the nails. Now you need to apply the color-substrate. In our case, it is yellow. Why exactly him? As already mentioned above, the substrate should be the lightest shade that is in the manicure, otherwise it will be difficult to overlap it. Now we mix the desired shades on the foil and then transfer them to the nail with the help of a sponge. Is it possible to make a similar gradient with a brush? It is possible, but it will be much more difficult to do it. The final step is to apply the top on the nails.
Pearl Gradient
Don't know how to do an ombre manicure? Everything is very simple. Follow the steps in this order step by step. We file the nails with a buff, and then degrease them. Now apply the base and white substrate. 1/3 of the nail, starting from the cuticle, paint over with beige. Take a thin synthetic brush and make a gradient. That is, we stretch the beige color into white. If necessary, you can repeat the operation, but the stretch in the second layer must be made stronger than in the first. In order to make the manicure more interesting, you can give it a pearl coating. We paint over the resulting gradient with a top without a sticky layer, and then rub it with a fingerpearl rub. It turns out an interesting result. To fix it, paint over the nails with a layer of finish.
Metal Gradient
An interesting ombre effect is obtained by rubbing. Such a manicure is at the peak of its popularity today due to the contrast of matte and glossy textures. How to repeat the result from the picture? The first step is to prepare the nail plates for work. We cut them down and degrease them. Now you need to apply the base, and after it black varnish. The dark color will play the role of the substrate. We apply a top coat without a sticky layer on black varnish and dry the result. Now we take a rub and with the help of a finger or an applicator we rub it into the nails. And now with the help of white varnish you need to create a gradient. We do it either with a synthetic brush, or use a sponge. Do not forget to cover the manicure with a finish.
Gradient with pattern
Do you think that ombre manicure with varnish looks boring? Then you can complete the design with a pattern. But before applying the image, you need to make a colored substrate. We file and degrease the nails, and then apply orange varnish. We mix orange and pink colors on the palette and print them with a sponge on the nail. On such a substrate, you can apply a picture. If you have been doing manicure yourself for a long time, then you can make any image with a brush. If you are just learning, you can use sticker sliders. Transfer the image to the nail, and then fix the result with a finish.
