Blue: Ombre

What makes it special: The gradient - ombre - effect from light blue to midnight blue. I chose dark blue nail polish with tiny glitter effect that made the ombre more sparkling and vivid
  
How long it lasts:
I stayed with this design for one day. The nailpolish can last longer but I had plans for some stickers and I moved on from this design.

It all depends on your base colour. In addition to the base colour I put a layer of white. The white base usually makes the colours more clear

To cook this look you need:

  • Three kitties
  • Base coat
  • White nail polish 
  • Light blue nail polish
  • Blue nail polish
  • Dark (midnight) blue nail polish
  • Sponge
  • Tape, nail polish remover (to clean the skin after you're done with the sponging) 


Steps:
  1. Apply the base coat and wait for it to dry.
  2. (optional) Apply one or two coats of white nail polish and wait to dry.
  3. (optional) Cover your fingers in tape.
  4. Take the sponge and put next to each other a few drops of the light blue, blue and midnight blue nail polish
  5. Start tapping until you create a satisfying gradient - ombre. It may take a few layers. In my case it took two. 
  6. (the optional #2) Remove the tape. 
  7. Use the nail polish remover to clear the mess from the skin around your nails.
  8. Apply top coat.
