Hi guys! It's Sandi, and in today's nail art video I'm going to be showing you how to get
the perfect glitter ombre for Prom or for any special occasion you have coming up.
To begin, start off with a base coat to create an even base on your nail bed. I'm using a
ridge-filling one because it gives you the smoothest surface and it'll help prevent your
nails from chipping during your special event.
Next choose a nail polish color to match your dress. It can be the same color as your dress,
or it could be a complimentary one. This particular color in similar to the dress I wore when
I went to my prom. Apply two coats for a solid, and even color.
Then give your nails about 5 minutes to completely dry before moving onto the next step, which
is color sponging.
So to create the beautiful ombre, we are going to use a darker shade of the same color as
our base and apply it to the corner of our makeup sponge. I like to use porous makeup
sponges because I find it gives the best results.
Then lightly sponge it over the top 1/4 of your nail. Concentrate the most color at the
tip of the nail and then blend whatever is leftover on the sponge down the nail a little.
Choose a glitter polish in the same color scheme to apply over the darker color. Move
down towards the cuticle and add a couple strokes of falling glitter for a beautiful
gradient. Then do a second layer of glitter just over the darker 1/4.
Finally apply a fast drying top coat to seal in your design and add a glossy shine over
your nails.
And that's it! An easy, yet stunning design for your big day. If you give this design
a try, then please show me using the hashtag #cutepolish or on the new cutepolish app.
