'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 :)

Ombre Glitter Nail Art

Yello!

I hope you guys are having a great week.

I know it's not my blog post day today but I just couldn't resist to share this new design that I did few days ago!

So here I am with my new nail art design.

NA#10

I call this one the 'Ombre Glitter Nail Art'. Looks a little complicated but the truth is that you don't need any tools to create this nail art.

Purple is my favorite color and in this design I have used a beautiful shade of purple from Elle 18 nail pops which is shade #54 as my base coat. I have used 3 different shades of nail art pens to create the ombre effect. If u don't have nail art pens, don't fret! Just pick up a toothpick to dot.

I wanted the design to look glittery, so I have gone for metallic shade for the ombre dots. I have used a beautiful metallic blue shade, a slightly darker shade of purple, both of these to add a little depth to the base coat and a silver color for highlighting.

First apply the purple shade as base coat and let it dry. Once its dry start off with the dots. I first randomly added few blue dots starting from the cuticles and gradually decreasing the number of dots down to the nail tips. Don't cover the entire nail with the dots as this won't give you the ombre effect. 

Concentrate the dots at the cuticle and decrease the number as you move towards the tips.

After you are done with the blue dots, continue the process with the darker shade of purple color and with the silver polish. You will notice the ombre effect once you start adding the silver polish as it makes the other colors pop.

Finally secure the design with a coat of clear polish.

This one has already become my favorite and I will be doing the same design with a lot of other colors.

I hope you guys liked the design and will try it yourself :)

See you next time!
