Ombre manicure technique and its varieties. Combination of ombre and french

The real trend of the season is ombre nail design, the photo of which occupies the first pages of glossy magazines. Every modern girl who keeps her finger on the pulse of fashion should know the benefits of technology and how to do it on her own.

The peculiarity of the gradient technique is a smooth, blurry transition from one color of varnish to another. Stretching tones used to be done with a brush, but this is quite a long and painstaking work, and enterprising manicure masters have invented a new way to apply varnish: with an ordinary sponge.

Among the types of ombre technique, a glitter gradient is distinguished, when a stretch is made over the main coating with a shiny varnish and an original french manicure.

Types of gradient manicure

The simplest type of gradient manicure that even a beginner can perform is the transition of color from nail to nail. This will require five varnishes of the same color range, but in different shades. It should be applied to each individual nail in turn from dark to light. For example, dark green, turquoise, aquamarine, emerald, olive. After applying varnishes, they need to be covered with a fixative to extend the duration of the manicure and the gloss effect.

A more complex version of the manicure involves a combination of several colors on one nail, resembling a palette of shades. You can use both similar tones and contrasting ones.

Glitter gradient allows you to create original images. You can use a brush instead of a sponge for ease and speed of application. It is divided into:

staining at the base;
application to the tips;
technique with a color effect.

Multi-colored gradient allows you to show imagination. Stretching varnishes is possible from one color or a whole palette. The main thing is that the dyes should be of the same texture: opaque and creamy.

Advice! Nails should always be well-groomed. Peeling varnish in any technique looks ugly and creates a negative image for the owners.

Rainbow: step by step instructions

Before decorating nails, you should prepare. After all, the beauty of a manicure depends not only on the color of the nail plate, but also on the well-groomed hands.

To prepare your nails, you need:

with a nail file and a nail file, give the nails the desired length and shape;
process the nail plate with a buff for grinding, and seal the tips;
remove the cuticle after softening the skin in a bath with warm water;
after drying, apply a base coat on the nails.

There are several ways to apply varnishes using the ombre technique, depending on the type of manicure.

Glitter at the base of the nails is performed only after applying any color of varnish to the nails. After drying, the varnish with sparkles is abundantly applied to the brush and the areas near the cuticle are treated with a large drop. Then the color is distributed at the base, repeating the curves of the lines. The shiny layer is stretched 3-4 mm upwards so that it disappears by the middle of the nail. The roughness of the glitter varnish is hidden under a glossy top.

Glitter on the tips of the nails differs from the previous method by applying varnish to the end of the nail and stretching from top to bottom. The base remains free. The advantage of the technique is that the life of the manicure is extended. Thanks to the sealing of the tips with glitter, the varnish does not chip off for a long time.

Glitter ombre with a color accent is perfect for stylish bright girls. After applying the base color, the tips or base are drawn with a fine-grained sponge with another varnish. It is dipped in varnish and, almost without touching the nails, color is applied. Glitter is treated with a nail after drying. You need to try not to go beyond the boundaries of the color substrate.

The classic technique for performing ombre on nails is performed according to the scheme:

A layer of adhesive tape is attached to the skin for protection.
Nails are painted with your favorite color.
With neat small strokes, different colors of varnishes are applied to the foil right next to each other. Their number can reach five pieces. The main thing is that the length of the nails matches the height of the gradient layers.
The sponge is pressed against the applied layers and slowly moved up to blur the transitions between colors.
Driving with a sponge, apply a gradient in one or two actions. The level of lubrication is determined independently at will.
After the varnishes have dried, the surface is treated with a transparent top coat.
Remove tape.

The most popular nail design is called rainbow

The most popular design is the so-called rainbow. Combining blue, pink and yellow in one manicure, the stripes are drawn both horizontally and vertically. The diagonal looks the most original.

Advice! To increase color contrast, wet a washcloth or sponge before spreading polishes.

The most popular this season is the oval. Almond looks good on long nails and is in second place in popularity. Next, choose an oval-square variety and a soft square. It is recommended to forget about beveled nails, peaks, stilettos.

Advice! To visually make the nail longer, the base of the plate is treated with dark varnish, and the ends with light varnish.

Combination of ombre and french

The classic jacket has firmly taken a leading position in the fashion world for several years now. However, fashionistas have invented several ways to refresh it, make it original and stylish. The ombre technique is one of the current methods today.

Not everyone has a perfectly even smile line at home. Now you can forget about the long painstaking work on the nail. For a fashionable manicure you will need:

translucent pastel-colored varnish;
thick white varnish;
fixer or top coat;
sponge with small pores or sponge;
scotch tape, petroleum jelly or fat cream;
foil or palette.

Scotch tape is not designed to draw a straight line, as before. It is cut into small pieces and glued around the nails to protect the cuticle from painting. Several layers of pastel varnish are evenly applied to the nails. After it has completely dried, white varnish is applied to the foil with thick strokes and pastel is next to it.

The sponge is pressed against the nail plate and gently shifted by 2-3 mm to smear the border. The gradient is driven in with gentle movements so that the white is at the tip. If you press hard on the sponge, it will absorb the dye. Therefore, you need to act with neat smooth movements.

After the varnishes have completely dried, a fixing solution is applied on top. If combined with a jacket, you can use glitter. The tape is removed from the skin.

The modern ombre french nail design looks gentle and beautiful. Experiments with the palette are welcome.

Advice! Transparent varnish as a base for application adds attractiveness and durability to the manicure.

Gel polish, tips or acrylic: which material to choose

If you choose an ombre nail design with gel polish, it will look great. This is because the gel polish adds shine to the nail plate, the colors look bright and saturated.

If you choose between different staining methods, it is better to give preference to gel polish. It is resistant, retains a fresh look for up to three weeks, does not need frequent correction.

The gel is suitable for girls who love a transparent manicure, but want to follow the fashion. In this embodiment, you can not paint the lower part of the nail, but make a colored coating on the upper part of the nail plate.

Matte finish. Ombre dark to light

To create an ombre on nails with gel polish, auxiliary materials will be required:

soft and hard nail files;
ultraviolet lamp for drying;
nylon brush under number 0, which will help blur the borders of flowers;
toothpicks, tape, sponge and foil.

From the basic materials, you should get a dehydrator, an acid-free primer, a base and glossy coat, varnishes of 2-5 colors of transitional shades and napkins for dipping the brush.

Advice! Evening festive manicure looks great with sparkles. Ideal manicure with glister or decoration with rhinestones.

Ombre alternation: from dark to light and vice versa

No need to rely on technology immediately before the event, where you need to shine. The first time, it's unlikely to be perfect. The brush can leave streaks, and the sponge can leave roughness. Therefore, you first need to practice several times and choose the best staining method for yourself.
Cleansing the skin around the nail is important, as the solvent can damage the design. The streaks of gel that are left on the nail can ruin the gradient on the sides if it's not dry enough yet.
To reduce the number of nail corrections, professional manicurists leave the base of the nail plate transparent. Thus, the regrowth of the surface will be imperceptible.

Advice! The brush should often be wiped with a napkin so that the color does not become cloudy and untidy.

Ombre manicure - about smooth transitions

In addition, it is suitable for both long nails. This method visually lengthens the nail. Its feature is the transition of colors with a blurred border both horizontally and vertically. The color palette can be varied, the most daring, fantasy combinations are possible. Ombre means "blackened" in French. Ombre options are huge. These are bright acid colors, and restrained pastels, and contrasting ones. Transition manicure is universal.

Now it is not surprising for a girl to go to a beauty salon and “order” a certain nail design from the master. But earlier, the sphere of manicure was so primitive that only persons of a privileged status could afford even a banal cleaning of nails. It is believed that the first noble lady who had her own personal manicurist was the ancient Egyptian queen Nefertiti, and it was she, by the way, who came up with the idea of a gradient decor. True, there are a number of nuances here. In those days, nails were covered with exclusively natural and affordable dyes, often food products or ocher acted as such. According to archaeological excavations, even at burial, the Egyptian queen had an impromptu manicure with rich pigment at the base of the nail bed, which slowly lost its original intensity towards the end of the free edge.

Gradient manicure in a modern and familiar interpretation of the eye appeared much later - in the 80s of the last century. It was introduced into fashion by the famous actress of Golden Hollywood at that time - Rihanna Daymond. Appearing on the red carpet of the Oscars, the spectacular beauty literally made a splash with her sexy floor-length satin dress and unusual vampire-style manicure. The public liked the original nail art so much that the very next day after the release of photos and video reports from such a significant cinematic event, lovely ladies attacked nearby beauty studios with a request to embody a similar decor on their fragile fingers. This set off a wave in the fashion industry as more than 16 designers, including Gucci, Prada, Dolce and Stefano-Gabanna, took to the catwalk in faded blazers and skirts. And in the 2000s, hairdressers, inspired by the gradient technique, came up with the most textured, stylish coloring that bears the name "ombre".

By the way, there are a thousand and one varieties of such a sensational gradient manicure, ProstoNail specialists have collected information about the most popular of them in a compact cheat sheet.

Kind of gradient	Features and Specifications
Simple	This type differs from the rest in that the gradient effect will not be created on each nail, but on the entire hand as a whole.

Next, the nails are painted in increasingly lighter colors. Alternatively, 3 shades can be used. In this case, the middle nail will be either the darkest or the lightest.
Classic or horizontal	The gradient is made along the width of the nail plates, and the colors themselves are mixed horizontally.
Vertical	Created as an alternative to the classic horizontal ombre. It is not difficult to guess that the gradient is placed vertically
Variations on the theme of French manicure	In fact, you are doing the same discreet jacket in a calm, beige and white tones. True, instead of clearly drawing a smile line, you blur the border of the free edge onto a general nude background
With nail art	In this case, the vertical or horizontal gradient is only part of the overall pattern or an effective background for it.
Brilliant	The transition on such nails is carried out without playing with the degree of saturation of the pigment, but by playing with the degree of concentration of the sparkles themselves
Linear	Drawing on the nails is often represented by vertical lines, which are carefully drawn with thin brushes. This type of nail design does not imply blurring the boundaries between colors. A good example is the diamond geometric gradient.
Chaotic	There is no limit to human imagination. Only you decide how, where and on what part of the nail or nails there will be a plot with the coveted gradient

for ombre manicure

Materials for performing manicure at home:

Transparent base coat.
White varnish.
Two or three bottles of regular colored polishes, depending on the type of gradient. Note that this article does not cover the implementation of a manicure using gel polishes.
A cosmetic sponge or a regular dishwashing sponge - they will be used to stretch the color.

A few words about choice

The color transition is smooth if you use a sponge, as it is denser than a sponge. This material has smaller pores, so the varnish is almost not absorbed and its consumption is minimal. If there was no sponge, it is quite possible to use a sponge, but experts advise moistening it before work.

Special product for protecting the skin around the nail

Gradient manicure is quite "dirty" in execution. If you don't use a leather protector, you'll have to spend a lot of time removing the polish. A special agent is applied to the skin around the nail in a thick layer, and at the end of the procedure is removed with tweezers, like a film. Do not be discouraged if you do not have such a tool. It can be replaced with any film mask or PVA glue. At worst, you can seal the skin with tape or smear it with greasy glue.

You will also need:

Color mixing palette. It is convenient to use foil.
Cotton buds.
Nail polish remover.
Fixer.

It is probably unnecessary to say that before any design is done, it is necessary to put the nails in order. After all, not a single, even the most original decor will save if the hands are not well-groomed: burrs stick out, the skin on the nail rollers is coarsened, and the nails are uneven. Do a regular manicure, treat the cuticle and skin of the nail folds, shape the plate. Ready? Now you can get started.

Types of manicure in the "degrade" technique and its implementation

The first step to the manicure of your dreams is the choice of design, because the more carefully it is thought out, the more effective the result will be.

Consider how you want to arrange the colors? Maybe you like the classic gradient, where the colors change from top to bottom? Or are you attracted by a design in which colors shimmer from right to left? Have you heard about diagonal degradation? And that's not all either.

Let's consider several options.

Ombre with a horizontal stretch of color

In this design, the color transition is carried out within one nail. There are two principles for performing an ombre manicure. The first method is easier to do, but the border between the colors turns out to be harsh. The second method is more time consuming, but the gradient is beautiful and smooth.

The first way is simplified

Let's say you want to make a gradient in pastel colors and have chosen the right shades of varnish.

We cover the prepared nails with a transparent base.
We apply a cuticle protection agent (PVA glue, film mask, greasy cream, adhesive tape) on the skin around the nail and wait until it dries.
We paint the nail plates with the background color in two layers.
We apply the next tone of varnish on a sponge or sponge and carefully print it on the nail, starting about a little above its middle.
The third color is applied after the second has dried with a clean sponge to the very tip.
It remains to cover the finished design with a finish and leave it to dry completely, and at this time you can remove the protection from the skin with tweezers (or, if it has not been applied, clean the nail folds with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover).

Second way

We cover the nails with a protective colorless varnish.
We paint the nails with a light-colored varnish - this is the basis for the design.
Then we apply strokes of varnish in two colors to the palette. If desired, the varnish at the junction of colors can be slightly mixed with a needle or a toothpick right on the palette.
Take a piece of sponge and press it against the colored stripes.
We transfer color to the nail. We do it as in the first option, with short driving movements.
Having achieved the desired color saturation, cover the nails with a finish.
It is advisable to do this without waiting for the gradient to dry completely. During the application of the finish, the colors will additionally mix. The border will turn out even more blurred, and the ombre effect will become softer and smoother.
We clean the skin around the nails and the manicure is done.

Varnish can be applied not on the palette, but directly on the sponge. In this case, the sponge should be slightly damp so that the varnish does not soak in too quickly.

These are the main ways to perform an ombre manicure. Based on them, you can make different types of design.

Ombre with a vertical stretch of color

In this design, iridescent colors are arranged vertically on the surface of the nail. There are a lot of color solutions for this option. You can paint all the nails the same way, or you can create smooth color transitions on all fingers. A vertical ombre is performed in the same way as a horizontal one, only strips of varnish are applied to the sponge from top to bottom. In this case, the color is transferred by rolling movements from right to left.

French gradient

This design looks especially beautiful on long nails. If you know how to do a classic French manicure using stencils or adhesive tape, then you can also handle the gradient on the jacket.

A vertical gradient looks more effective on the tips of the nail. We will try to make it.

Procedure:

Apply a clear base coat and dry completely.
Carefully stick stencils for French manicure.
On the palette or directly on a piece of sponge with a brush, apply strips of colored varnish of the selected colors.
Now you need to transfer the color from the sponge to the tip of the nail, highlighted with a stencil. To do this, take the sponge in your hand so that after staining the colored stripes are arranged vertically. With a light rolling motion, we print the paint on the tip. At the same time, try not to go beyond the border of the stencil, so as not to spoil the design.
To make the jacket bright and saturated, repeat the procedure again.
Now carefully remove the stencil with tweezers and secure the design with a clear top coat.

Such a manicure is relevant in late spring and summer, when the sun is shining, flowers are blooming and you want bright colors.

Gradient across the entire arm

The meaning of this manicure is that each next nail is painted a tone darker (or lighter) than the previous one, so we need to mix varnishes, achieving lighter shades of the same color.

Technique:

We apply the base for manicure.
We paint the thumbnail in a dark color.
The nail of the index finger, according to the rules, should be a tone lighter. How to get it? We apply dark varnish on the palette and add one drop of white to it. Thoroughly stir the varnishes with a needle, toothpick or dots. Having received a uniform color, quickly apply it to the nail.
For the middle finger, we repeat the procedure, only we add 2 drops of white to the dark varnish.
For the nameless, respectively, you will need 3 drops of white varnish, for the little finger - 4.
We finish the manicure with a top coat.

This method is perhaps the least time-consuming, but the effect is no worse than in the previous versions.

Ombre manicure can be done at home. Try to make it yourself, and you will be surprised how beautiful and unusual it is.

The word "ombre" literally translates from French as "shadow". A characteristic feature of this fashionable design is the specific effect of a beautiful stretching of the shades of the varnish color from light to dark, while the blurred border of the stretching of the color is called a “gradient”.

Photo of a gradient (ombre) manicure

An ombre-colored stretch, as seen in the photo, can be directed from the base of the nail plate to the upper edge, across the plate, and even from the thumb to the little finger.

There are several types of nail design in this style:

classic (created on the basis of 2 colors of varnish, while the tip of the nail is darker than its base);
Beverly Hills (it differs in that the color transition occurs from nail to nail, for example, from very light on the little finger to dark on the thumb, while up to 5 colors or shades of varnish are used at once);
design in the style of "French" (a characteristic feature is the coating of the tip of the nail with a varnish of a light shade, below turning into a dark color);
bright nail, involving the use of rich color varnishes;
manicure in the ombre style with painting, this technique is ideal for an evening dress, emphasizing its sophistication in gold, silver or black, which is confirmed by numerous magnificent photos.

Technique. How to do an ombre

The technique of creating a manicure is so simple that it can be successfully performed at home.

Manicure can be done on nails of any length and shape.

To perform, you must have:

at least 2 (or more) bottles of varnish, as close as possible in color;
means for degreasing nail plates;
varnish for the main coating;
varnish for fixing or transparent, which is also called finishing;
thin brush;
sponge or ordinary sponge;
to mix shades you need a small piece of cardboard or plastic, foil is also suitable;
sticks with cotton wool, soft discs made of cotton wool or foam rubber;
solution to remove excess coating.

But most importantly, you need to equip a special place for nail art at home, with good lighting and the possibility of ventilation. It is considered ideal to work under a fluorescent lamp, since such light does not distort the shades of varnishes.

How to make a chic manicure - procedure:

Bring nails to a state of readiness of the desired level. To do this: remove the old varnish, make a correction of the shape of the nail plate with a nail file, make a hot nail bath, remove the cuticle. Degrease nails. To protect the rollers of the skin of the fingers from traces of varnish, it is necessary to apply any of the following means to them: PVA glue, a face mask that has the feature of hardening in the form of a film, or a greasy cream. A special skin protection product, which has recently appeared on sale, is also suitable.
Prepare the base. Cover the nails with a transparent varnish or one of the colored ones, it is better - light.
Drop varnishes on cardboard in the order in which the final result is conceived.
Use a brush to blur the border of color change, achieving a smooth flow of shades.
Lightly moisten the sponge with water to reduce the rate of absorption of varnish into it.
After wetting the colors from the cardboard with a sponge, apply them to the nail plate with a patting technique, barely touching and not pressing down.
Prepare a set of colors similar to the first on cardboard for the next nail plate.
Without waiting for the complete drying of the varnish, apply a fixative or transparent varnish.
Let your nails dry. To speed up the process, you can use a cold water bath.
Use soft discs and sticks with cotton wool, using a nail polish remover, to remove excess drops of manicure. Cleanse the skin rollers of the fingers by removing the previously applied protective equipment.

What gel polish to choose for ombre

To perform a manicure using the color stretching technique, a large number of different varnishes are not required. Even if there are only 2 types of varnish available, you can get several shades of different color intensities from them on the palette and make a chic nail.

The basis for a gradient manicure is traditionally varnishes of delicate pastel shades: pink, peach, beige and others.

In numerous photographs of an ombre manicure, 2 ways of coloring the end of the nail in terms of color can be distinguished:

the first, when shades from the same set of colors are used as at the base of the nail plate, and
the second, when the designer boldly experiments with other, brighter shades of the palette.

Using the second method, the master has the opportunity to implement a much larger number of design ideas. However, it should be remembered that in this case it is better to work with long nails, since the elongated nail plate allows you to effectively place up to 6 different colors.

On short nails, it is better to limit yourself to two shades of varnish, otherwise the manicure can be smeared and lose its unique beauty.

This season, the most popular is the gradient manicure made using gel polish, especially in combination with other interesting nail design techniques.

The use of gel polish implies the presence of not only the usual tools for creating a manicure, but also some special devices, namely: an ultraviolet lamp, a nail polisher, a final coat and a solvent.

As for the selection of gel polish by color, up to 5-6 different shades are allowed, but the most popular is a gradient of 3 colors.

A classic ombre manicure based on gel polish is created from 2 colors that belong to the same color scheme.

Sponge for ombre

To create a high-quality ombre-style manicure, it is quite acceptable to use an ordinary sponge. However, To obtain the most successful result, experts recommend working with a cosmetic sponge.

Sponges are made of fine-grained high-density foam rubber. The higher density of this structure compared to a sponge ensures less consumption of varnishes and a more even tone of the transition of shades when creating a gradient.

brushes

Brushes can vary, but the most commonly used are thin, wide, flat, and fan-shaped. Before starting work, they must be moistened with a nail degreaser.

With a thin brush, it is convenient to transfer shades of color from the palette to the nail plate and adjust the gradient, as well as draw small decorative elements.

When using a wide and flat brush, the movement goes from bottom to top in the center of the gradient, while the master's brush is located parallel to the nail plate.

Small movements are allowed from a light tone to a darker one, until a uniformly blurred border is obtained.

The fan brush blends the border of shades, being perpendicular to the nail plate. At the same time, the movements are quite fast and sharp, the brush, as it were, “sweeps” the border of colors from the tip of the nail to its middle. It is important not to forget to clean the brushes with a degreaser after finishing work.

Ombre sprayer

The device for creating a gradient manicure is called an airbrush. This small and handy sprayer applies a special varnish emulsion to the nail plate.

Apparatus (machine) for ombre

The airbrush is compact and quite easy to use, however, it requires the attention of the master and careful care. This is due to the fact that emulsion pigments tend to harden quickly. Therefore, in order to avoid clogging of the holes of the device with pigments, it is necessary to wash the device in a timely manner during and after work.

Thanks to the airbrush or sprayer, as it is most often called, you can achieve excellent results in the art of manicure, namely:

achieve the creation of completely unique images on the nails, very detailed and carefully worked out;
use unusual ornaments for design;
use the smallest decorative elements to decorate a manicure.

The use of an airbrush significantly reduces the time for creating a manicure, as a result of which it takes no more than half an hour.

How to make an ombre with an airbrush

The photographs of the manicure made using an airbrush reflect a rather complex gradation of tones from the deepest dark to very light.

The colors look voluminous, and small details seem to begin to breathe and move. This effect is not obtained with a standard manicure.

A professional master spends no more than a few minutes on creating a gradient manicure using an airbrush, while being able to realize the wildest fantasies of his client.

Sponge ombre manicure

Creating a manicure in style Ombre with a sponge is considered the most common way to work in the color stretching technique.

Of course, using a sponge is ideal, but even a regular sponge in the right hands can work wonders. Not so long ago, sponges made of fine-grained material, specially designed for working with gradient manicure, appeared on sale, which, moreover, have a work surface shape that is very convenient for the master.

Before using such a sponge, it must be cut into small fragments, observing an important condition: the working surface of the resulting fragment should be close in size to the size of the nail.

The sponge ready for use must be thoroughly washed and dried. This is done to avoid dust getting on the varnish in the process of further work.

Currently, 3 types of techniques for creating an ombre manicure using a sponge are used, while it is almost impossible to distinguish one type from another from a photo.

Differences are noticeable at the stage of working with varnishes and palettes.

The master usually chooses one of three options:

Work with varnish directly on the nail plate. This option involves applying varnishes to the nail plate and instantly blending the border of flowers with light patting movements with a sponge.
Working with varnish on a sponge. In this case, varnishes are applied directly to the sponge in strips, next to each other, after which they are given a few seconds to initially absorb into the sponge. Then the sponge is applied to the nail several times until the color border is completely smoothed out.
Working with varnish on a separate surface - a palette. When using this technique, varnishes are mixed on foil, plastic or cardboard. Most often, color stretching is done with an orange stick. Then the image is reprinted on the sponge by applying it, and from it - on the nail. This process can be repeated several times until the desired result is obtained.

In all three cases, the design must be completed with top coat or clear polish. This improves the quality of the gradient.

Before the procedure, it is necessary to protect the skin rollers around the nails with any of the available means, namely: a greasy cream, a mask (film) for the face, or a special tool that is produced specifically for working with a gradient manicure.

Ombre nails with pigments

The use of pigments to create a color stretch effect on the nails is an alternative technique for this style. When using it, time is significantly saved, as a result of which the entire procedure takes no more than 10 minutes.

Color overflows on an ombre manicure made with the help of pigments are achieved due to the merging of shades due to the superimposition of particles of different pigments on top of each other, which is clearly visible in the photo.

When working with pigments, experts recommend using a white base., as it avoids distortion of color shades.

To make a stretch with pigments on gel polish, you need:

Perform the usual gel polish coating: prepare the nails, apply the base in 2 layers, while each layer must be dried in a lamp.
With a thick fluffy brush, pick up the pigment and blend it from the bottom border to the center of the nail. Then shade the second color of the pigment in the same way from the tip of the nail to the middle, until it intersects with the first. Shake off excess pigment particles.
Dry the resulting gradient in the lamp for 30-60 seconds.
Cover the pigment with a transparent varnish and dry in a lamp.
Finish the procedure by removing the sticky layer from the top using a special tool. Cleanse the skin rollers around the nail plates.

How to make ombre shellac

Shellac is often used to create a manicure with a stretch of color on the nails. Thanks to the durability of this varnish, the nail design acquires amazing stability and lasts for a long time without any damage.

The use of shellac requires the availability of the necessary equipment for the procedure, namely:

nail care kit
cotton swabs and liquid to remove excess varnish;
base varnish, several varnishes of different colors, finishing varnish;
UV lamps for drying the coating;
a special solution for degreasing the nail plate;
sponge;
toothpicks;
a special liquid product for removing excess varnish.

A gradient manicure using shellac is performed in the same sequence as when working with gel polish.

Step by step it looks like this:

polish the nails, remove the cuticle, align the nail plates with a nail file;
degrease nails, apply foundation, let them dry;
hold the nails in a UV lamp for 20 seconds;
apply a light-colored varnish on the lower part of the nail;
apply dark gel polish on the upper half of the nail;
smooth the color border with a brush;
dry the nails in a UV lamp for about 3 minutes;
fix the varnish with a top coat and dry the nails again in a UV lamp for 3-4 minutes.

Experts do not recommend applying too thick layers of shellac, as this can spoil the whole effect of the gradient design. At the end of the procedure, it is necessary to remove the top sticky layer of shellac using a special liquid product.

Photo ombre manicure for short nails

Ombre manicure on short nails has one distinctive feature.

As you can see in the photo, with a small length of the nail plate, a light tone of varnish is applied to its base, and a dark one to the upper part of the nail. This allows you to visually make the nails longer.

Ombre on long nails

Sharp nails this season are increasingly appearing in fashion shows on the catwalks. Their length is very diverse, from medium to frankly long and extravagant.

Beautiful vertical ombre on nails with a brush

Vertical ombre on nails is more convenient to do with a flat brush. The nail plate in this case is divided by color shades into 2-3 parts.

The sequence of work in this case practically does not differ from the procedure for creating a horizontal gradient manicure. Gradient borders are blurred with a thin brush or toothpick. This design can be done using all the colors of the rainbow.

French (French manicure) ombre on nails

This type of nail design is distinguished by the most delicate tints of color, as if flowing into each other. The gradient can have a horizontal or vertical direction, as well as a finger-to-finger direction, but experts say that the first option for French is the most preferable.

Glitter ombre manicure

To perform a gradient glitter manicure that amazes and delights no less than in magnificent photos, there is no need to purchase many additional varnishes or solutions. 2 varnishes will be enough, of which one is with sparkles.

The peculiarity of this technique is as follows: the nail is covered with a plain varnish, then part of it is decorated with glitter varnish. As a rule, there are more sparkles at the tip of the nail, and by the middle of the nail plate they disappear.

Work order:

cover the nails with varnish without glitter and wait for it to dry;
take a varnish with sparkles on a brush and draw from the tip of the nail to the middle, reducing the amount of sparkles. You can also stretch from the bottom edge of the nail to the middle;
complete the procedure by coating with a colorless varnish.
