What is ombre
Shellac ombre is a very beautiful design that is in trend right now. It is good both as a simple transition of color to color, and as a background for more complex designs.

Never with an ombre manicurewon't be boring. And if you need variety, you can simply change the colors.
There are several ways to perform an ombre. It is considered classic to transfer the stretch of color from the palette to the nail with the help of a fine-mesh sponge. To do this, several stripes of tones are applied to the palette, trying to go a little to the next one. Then gently mix the transition zones with a toothpick. Now it remains only to type on a sponge and print this beauty on a nail. The imprint is repeated three times, slightly shifting the sponge a little up and a little down. So, the borders of color are finally blurred.
