How to make a manicure with an ombre effect?

Before proceeding to the procedure, it is important to carefully process the nails:

• give them the right shape;

• clean and degrease the surface.

It is desirable that the whole set of necessary things is at hand.

Here's how to make a manicure ombre:

1. Cover the nails with a transparent base. The layer should be thin, but sufficient to make the plates smooth.
2. Apply the base lacquer of the selected color. It is important that the nail surface does not shine through.
3. Dye a small area of ​​the sponge or foam sponge with the same basic lacquer. The width of the strip should be about 0.5 cm.
4. Immediately after this, apply the next shade of lacquer directly to the fixture.
5. The last layer is to paint the sponge in the supposed darkest tone. If the sponge quickly absorbs the lacquer, you need to repeat the steps described in turn. As a result, there should be three bands of different shades on the surface.
6. Firmly press the sponge against the nail and hold for a few seconds.
7. When the varnishes are imprinted on the plate, quickly, with driving movements, treat it with a sponge so that the transition of one color to another becomes as smooth as possible. If the varnish on the sponge is absorbed into the pores or dried, you can refresh the strip, applying new layers.
8. Dampen the cotton swab in the liquid to remove the varnish and gently remove the surplus coating from the surrounding skin.

Naturally, after doing a manicure, the surface of the nail will be uneven due to contact with the sponge. You can leave it in this form or give a smooth finish by using a clear varnish or a fixer .

To decorate such design of nails stylists advise either glitter, or sequins on the outer edge of the plate.
