'Frozen' inspired ombre nails

Hello folks!

Today I am gonna show you how to do an ombre glitter nail art inspired from the movie 'Frozen'.
Am sure that there are several nail art tutorials out there showing the same design, but this post is about my take on it.

So here it is.


#NA12



I have used 3 beautiful shades of blue from Maybelline Color Show range of nail enamels for this design. 
Starting from the lightest, the shades are #403-Blueberry Ice, #303-Shocking Seas and the darkest shade being #503-Denim Dash.

Now to create the ombre effect you would require a small piece of sponge. It can be the regular craft sponge or the soft make up sponge. I feel that the make up sponge is less porous and doesn't provide the rugged look that I need for this design, So I have chosen the craft sponge which is more porous.

So first apply the lightest shade of blue #403 Blueberry Ice as the base coat. Apply generous two coats and allow it to dry. Now once the base coat is dry, take a small piece of the sponge and apply a good coat of the next shade #303, Shocking Seas and immediately start dabbing it slightly above mid length of your nails to the tip. Allow it to dry, and repeat the process again so that the shade becomes visible.

Do not worry if the design looks messy, it will look messy until you achieve the final look.

Now that the second shade is dry, repeat the process with the darkest shade of blue #503, Denim Dash. But this time start dabbing slightly below the mid length of the nail to the tips. Repeat the process if the color is still light. Allow it to dry.

Now you guys can use some glitter polish to apply at the tips to give it a glittery look like I have done here or just go plain by securing the design with a top coat alone.

Hope you had a good time reading the tutorial and will try this design yourself.

Have a great weekend ahead!

C ya'll :)
