Ombre Stripes

Week 23 of the Year of Polish challenge- Ombre Mani

I saw a mani very similar to this on Tumblr not too long ago and thought it would make a nice alternative to the normal Ombre manis

Plus, as you have probably noticed, I have been in a very colorful mood for a while now so the thought of sticking to different shades of the same color was not very exciting.

This striped ombre was very easy to do and it is a nice alternative for nail-fanatics who just do not happen to have 5 complementing shades of polish!



Sally Hansen in White On
YELLOW
Sally Hansen in Yellow Kitty
Orly in Spark
China Glaze in Solar Power
PURPLE
China Glaze in Agent Lavender
Fresh Paint in Blackberry Smoothie
China Glaze in Grape Pop
GREEN
China Glaze in Refresh-mint
China Glaze in Gaga for Green
Zoya in Envy
BLUE
China Glaze in Kinetic Candy
Sally Hansen in Brisk Blue
Barry M in Indigo
PINK
SinfulColors in Pink Forever
NYC in Pink Promenade Creme (old version)
China Glaze in Fuchsia Fanatic

A nice white base and paint on a stripe of each color. Add a topcoat to blend everything nicely and bam! A stripey rainbow!

Alrighty then! I'll be leaving for a summer vacation on Sunday so I will be taking a little break from posting. I'll try and log on to show you what my vacation mani looks like first though :) I'm planning on using some Jamberry Nail shields since they last for so long!

Until next time ^_^

This is wicked! It really is great if you don't have "exact" shades for a regular gradient.
