Manicure ombre - fashion trend of 2013

All the women of the world paint their nails with varnish. Even those who do not have time for this, though rarely, but still sometimes visit the master of manicure. But, if you like excrement and variety, if you are tired of craquelure, French manicure and other varnishes with already bored effects, then the manicure ombre is for you.

Ombre is a smooth transition from a darker color to a lighter color or a gradient. This technique in fashion appeared in 2012 and at the moment has reached the peak of its popularity. The effect of ombre today is a favorite not only in manicure, but also in hair coloring. If you follow the fashion, behind all its tendencies, then you can not do without such a manicure.

You can make ombre, alternating shades on all nails, ie, from the little finger of the left hand, to the little finger of the right hand, or only on the fingers of one hand, i.e. The nails of each hand will be symmetrically the same. You can also take advantage of the more complex technique of ombre - creating a gradient from the base to the tip on each nail. Here you can use colors that are close to each other, and up to perfectly contrasting.

Manicure tools with gradient

• 2-3 varnishes close in color shades (if you decide to experiment, you can take more tones);
• A small sponge or a piece of foam rubber;
• Liquid for removing varnish.
