Gradient & Ombre Nail Trends with MUA Cosmetics



The NEW trend is all about painting your nails in crazy, fun colours and patterns is the "it" way to alter your mood and show off your personality. Nail art has come a long way, but this is the first time everyone is having fun with their nails. If you read my blog post yesterday on how to create ombre lips – this inspired me to create ombre/gradient nails for today’s post.

 Here are my top 4 nail trends you should try this season!
 Gradient Nails

What It Is: It's like adding tie-dye to your nails.
How To: For this look, you can add as many as four colours to your mix or keep it simple with two shades. Apply two layers of the lightest shade first. Next, place a few drops of your other shades into a plastic plate and use a foundation sponge to dab the remaining colours on your nail, creating a gradient effect. You should go in order from lightest to darkest. If you feel like this tutorial will get messy, you can try using clear tape to guide your finger through the design process. Here I have created a YouTube video on how to create gradient nails, check it out!

Ombre Nails

What It Is: Similar to the gradient look, ombre nails (like the hair) flows in colour from light to dark. This look, however, is done on one hand as opposed to one finger.
 How To: First apply a base coat. Starting with the lightest colour in your spectrum then gradually paint your other fingers darker, use shade 17 top coat to finish.
