    Ombre Nail Craft Fail

    October 17, 2012 |

    Everyone loves a good fail, right? Have you ever tried something on Pinterest only to find that either you stink, or it wasn’t as “easy” as the person suggested? This one was totally on me.

    nails

    Here’s my take on the GORGEOUS ombre nails from The Beauty Department. And while my nails aren’t the prettiest, I think my problem was that the gray tones I chose made my nails look decrepit or fungusy when opaque and faded. Gorgeous huh?

      You need to paint your nails with the lightest color, then get the sponge in to water and apply the nail polish while is wet, try to do some spongy motion to create the gradient 🙂 I hope its works!

      Way to give it a shot though, right?! I had a similar experience and ended up with crooked Chevron prints on my fingers. It was pretty bad and I could kick myself now for not taking a picture. It would have made you feel better. 🙂

      Lol! Kudos to you for even trying to do your nails with little ones around. As soon as I do them it is inevitable my hands are needed for something! Now I kind of wanna try this 😉
