Ombré Nails

The ombré obsession continues! This time it comes in the form of nail art. I found an amazing tutorial, along with a new blog that's made its way to the top of my reading list, via Pinterest. I highly recommend that everyone gets their butts over to The Beauty Department at once so that you too can have nails like this!




Pretty nifty huh? The only thing I would do differently is choose a lighter color palette in preparation of Spring. I found that the key to getting the ombré effect just right was in applying multiple coats while allowing moderate drying time between each application. That and they weren't kidding when they said that clean-up would involve a paint brush. But don't take my word for it! Get over to The Beauty Department and try it for yourselves.

p.s. I'm going to be finishing the ombré shirt project over the next couple of days, so stop back in soon to see how that project ends up.
