Every year, trends in nail art change. An interesting gradient style is in fashion this season. He conquered fashionistas several years ago and still does not lose ground. It will be easy to make an ombre-style manicure if you know the features of applying and shading varnish. Do you want to master the secrets of craftsmanship? Then read the article.
Pink
Any manicure should start with preparatory work. Before you start creating a gradient, you need to process the nail plates. How to do an ombre manicure? File your nails with a buff and degrease them. Then apply the base. The first layer is needed in order to even out the surface of the nail, as well as to provide a stronger bond between the varnish and the nail. The second layer is applied to the entire nail with a light pink shade. It is advisable to choose a thick and viscous varnish. It will be more convenient to work with such material. The second layer will fade. We drip light pink varnish on the base of the nail, and paint over the free edge with bright varnish. Armed with a flat and thin synthetic brush, we begin shading. Light colouredcolor must be pulled up. Fidgeting movements should not be done. You will not be able to blend varnishes well, but only knock down the joint line. It is advisable to make the gradient in one layer, but if you are a beginner, you can repeat the whole process again. In this case, move the joint one millimeter higher or lower than the previous one. Apply the finish on the finished coating and dry the result.
Beige
Ombre manicured nails will perfectly complement any look if you make a gradient of beige and white. A smooth transition will look almost as neutral as a regular beige polish. But unlike a simple natural coating, this will have its own zest. How to create a similar manicure? File your nails and degrease them. Apply camouflage. It is preferable to use it instead of a base, as an ombre-style manicure produces many layers, especially for an inexperienced beginner. A color base will reduce the number of layers to a minimum. Paint your nails beige, dry the camouflage, and then visually split the nail into two parts. Apply a colored base on one of them, and a white varnish on the other part. With a "scallop" brush, you need to smoothly introduce one shade into another. In this color scheme, it is better to introduce white into beige. With smooth movements, drag the brush down from the beginning of the white color to the middle of the beige part. We remove the brush, wipe it and next we draw another strip from top to bottom. Thus, you need to process the entire nail. The top will help to fix the manicure.
French ombre manicure
Do you prefer the classics? Ombre French manicure is much more popular today than its classic version. Therefore, do not hesitate to do it if the length of the nails allows you. How to create such beauty? File and degrease your nails, and then apply a base on them. This standard procedure will help you carry your manicure not for two weeks, but for a month. Therefore, do not be lazy to spend an extra 10 minutes so that later you do not spend two hours creating a new manicure. Upon completion of the preparatory work, you can proceed to the design. If desired, you can cover the nails with pink or beige or leave them with the applied base. Paint the outer edge of the nail with glitter polish. You need to apply glitter on a wet base. With a comb brush, pull the glitter from the edge of the nail to the middle. There is nothing difficult in this work. Look carefully so that the transition of the shiny part into the nail on all fingers is approximately in the same place. Cover the finished manicure with a finish and dry.
Brown
Above you can see another photo of the ombre manicure. Gel polish to create a similar design will be very simple. In this version, the gradient does not decorate all nails, but only one. If you don't feel like spending a lot of time on a manicure, or if you're not in the mood for a complex design, you can work on creating a gradient in just a few minutes. In this version, the manicure looks just as stylish. And pay attention to the colorgamma. If you decorate only one nail with a gradient, then the color scheme of the manicure should be dark.
How to repeat the result from the picture? You need to start by washing down and degreasing your nails. Next, you need to apply the base. In two layers on all nails, except for the one on which there will be a gradient, we apply varnish. On the nail with ombre, apply the color in one layer. We distribute light varnish on the tip of the finger and pull it down with smooth movements. It is advisable to take a dark and light varnish of the same texture in order to facilitate the process of mixing. When the design is ready, it should be covered with a top for longer wear.
Contrast ombre
It is better not to do such a manicure for beginners. The more contrasting the colors, the more difficult it is to mix them. Therefore, go to bright gradients only when you are comfortable with the ombre technique and you are completely confident in your abilities. The work is carried out according to standard technology. First, the nails need to be filed, and then degreased. We apply the base, and then black. Take a thick varnish that will not leave streaks. The second layer will be two-tone. One part of the nail should be painted white, and the other black. With a thin synthetic brush, you need to mix two varnishes. Stretching should be done long, so that at first the white varnish turns into gray and only then harmoniously merges into black. Leave the opportunity in the middle of the nail to make a long stretch. To do this, apply white color only at the very base of the nail plate. Fix the dried result with a finish.
Easy option
The photo of the ombre manicure is presented above. If you want to make a trendy design, but you can't mix polishes with a comb brush, you can upgrade the color application a little. The initial steps will coincide with the classic way to create an ombre manicure. File and degrease your nails. Then apply the base. Now apply a few drops of paint on a regular sponge and mix the varnish with a toothpick or an orange stick. Print the stencil on your nails. Wipe off excess varnish that has stained the side ridges of the finger. Dry the manicure and, if desired, apply another shiny coat of varnish. Don't forget to cover your nails with top.
Matte finish
Today complex textures are in fashion. Glossy nails, although they are popular, but the demand for matte varnish is still growing. An ombre manicure covered with a matte top looks fantastic. An unusual texture combined with a non-standard texture provides an interesting result. You can see it not only in the picture, but also on your nails if you repeat the simple procedure of creating a design. File and degrease the nail plates. Then apply base and purple polish. On the free edge of the nail, spread the white color and use the comb brush to evenly stretch the white polish to the middle of the purple. You need to cover the result of your activity with a matte top. You need to seal not only the upper surface - pay special attention to the sides of the nail and the butt. Otherwiseafter a few days of wearing socks on a matte manicure, glossy bald spots may appear.
Rubbed Ombre
Ombre style manicure can be done in the form of a French jacket. The modernized version of the design will not use the standard white color, but rubbing. Ombre with a rub can be done even by a novice master. How to repeat the result from the photo? French manicure in the ombre style is done using the following technology. The nail plates are sawn and degreased. Then the base is applied, followed by the top without a sticky layer. On the upper part of the nail with the help of the applicator should be distributed rubbed. You need to do this carefully and apply the shiny dust evenly so that it lays down in an even and thin layer. The middle part of the nail only needs to be lightly dusted so that the stretch is even. Cover the manicure again with top and dry the result.
Pattern
An interesting manicure can be done by combining several techniques in one design. Want to repeat from the photo above? Then you should do an ombre-style manicure, and apply a simple drawing on top of it with a brush, stamp, or stick a slider. Work should begin with washing down and degreasing. Next, apply the base and lemon varnish. When the first two layers have dried, you can create a gradient. Stretch the pink color from the tip of the nail to the middle. After complete drying of this layer, you can proceed to the decor. Apply the pattern in any way. If you do not know how to draw, use special stamps. The drawing willlook more expressive if you use dark shades of varnishes. Do not forget to fix the result with a finish.
