Ombre Nail Tutorial

Disclosure AffiliateOmbre Nail Look Tutorial

While Ombre definitely isn’t new (we have been seeing it for year on everything from clothes to nails to hair), but its popularity still isn’t fading! Why? Probably because ombre looks awesome, is fun to create and so easy to DIY. Julep has shared a new ombre nail art tutorial that uses colors from their ‘Fall Into Ombre’ Welcome Box – FREE when you join Julep Maven.

Let’s get started!

1. Choose three polishes that blend well together, spanning from dark to light. Not sure what to pick? You can’t go wrong with a deep, opaque color, a lighter shade of the same color, and white. Polish your nails with your darkest color. Allow them to dry.

2. Pour two small dollops of your medium and light colors on a smooth surface (like a piece of wax paper). The two dollops together should be about two-thirds the length of your nails. Use a toothpick or orangewood stick to swirl them together slightly so they mix in the middle, forming a gradient.

3. Dip the edge of a cosmetic sponge directly into your dollops of nail polish then align the sponge so that the lightest color is at the tip of your nail. Press the polish onto your nails with the sponge, dabbing and repeating until you achieve the desired effect. This doesn’t have to be precise!

4. Clean up the edges with our polish corrector pen or a thin brush dipped in polish remover. Finish with a top coat. Voilà!

Have you tried the new Julep Jelly Polish? If not, you will want to because they are SO much fun! Julep’s Jelly gets its name because when it dries it is translucent and jelly-like (unlike other finishes you may be familiar with like creme, matte or glitter). One coat of Jelly polish is usually pretty sheer, so you can build and build until you get the candy-like mani you’re craving. Here a few ways to use your Jelly Polish gift to bump up the glam factor of your current mani:

 

  • Add a Jelly tip on matte polish for a fierce French mani
  • Vamp up any black
  • Pair a jelly with a similar color for extra pow-wow-WOW
  • Pop some Jelly on white
  • Use as a top coat on nail art
  • Add some texture in your nail art—jelly stripes & dots are the best!
