Twist Ombre Nails

So this continuing trend with creative nails is the Ombre nail. I think if it's done right it can look very chic or funky and if done wrong it can look sloppy. Because this is my first experiment with Ombre and I'm not completely sure I like the result yet. I changed the accent nail three times but I couldn't find the right color to go with the style. Anyway you can be the judge and I'll work on my Ombre skills.



Clear Base: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth.

Thumb Nail: Sonia Kashuk in Ooh La La. As you have probably noticed I am a pink polish fan and I like this color but not the formula. It chipped easily and needed several layers to make the color become vibrant even though its a pretty opaque color. I also had a clear jewel on the corner of the nail.

Index Finger: OPI in Nomad's Dream. From the moment I saw this color two years ago I feel in love. On the OPI site they says its a, "starlit mauve" but it doesn't look at all mauve or in the purple family at all. It's more of a golden beige with green undertones in the sunlight. This color is so fabulous and natural.

Middle Finger: Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails Extreme Wear in Golden-I. This color is gorgeous, long lasting(as it claims) and goes for any season. I'm always a little skeptical of drugstore polish but I have a couple of the Extreme Wear colors and I love them.

Ring Finger: Sinful Colors Professional in Soul Mate. Tip color, Sephora Nail Design Pen by OPI in Gold #C29. As I said before I changed the "accent nail" three times first because this failed my expectation and I really don't like the pink. I unfortunately didn't take photos of the other accent nails I changed to and because I did this nail last month I can't remember what colors I used.

Pinky Finger: Sinful Colors Professional in Flirting Nails. This color is pretty and in my opinion made for a base color under a brighter contrast polish or shatter paints. I originally bought this color so I could try the news paper trick that is all over Pintrest and hopefully in the near future I'll be able to try that.
