2^nd Gel Manicure ideas 2018: Ombre gel manicures

Ombre gel manicures occur when a color gradient is created. Normally a lighter color blends into a darker color towards the tip of the nail. But achieving this can be tricky if you don’t know how to o it, and do it well.

Easy steps on how to create Ombre gel manicures:

• Apply a clear base coat to your fingernails. This ensure that your nails are not stained by the color gel nail polish.
• Apply your gel color coat and let it dry by curing it under a UV light or a LED lamp.
• Paint your ombre colors on a sponge, side to side, using the nail polish brush.
• Stamp the gel nail polish on your nails a few times so that the colors fuse gradually. On your nail plate. Make sure that you cure the nail polish again.
• Apply a top coat to ensure that the gel nail polish remains intact. Cure to dry for the last time.

Additional Tips:

• Use a makeup sponge that is wet enough all the time. If the gel nail polish is too dry, it could pull off any of the nail polish on your finger nails.
• Use colors that are similar so that you get the best look.

3^rd Gel Manicure ideas 2018: Turning the Classic French design up a notch

This year, the classic French manicure is changed up a notch. Use colors that add a little pizzazz to those fingernails. You no longer need to keep your nail plates a nude or natural color, any color of your choice works with this new trend.

How to spice it up:

• Color the moon at the tip in white. Make sure that it is colored in the shape of the half moon.
• Paint the color of the nail base in the color of your choice. Any color that you love will do.
• You can add an ombre effect by adding a second color on the nail plate. This is optional.
• Finish off the edge with a white colored gel nail polish, the same as the half moon.

This design work on short nails. It is similar to the French design with lines running in a half moon direction across your nail plate.

How to do this the right way

• Paint your nails with gel nail polish of your choice. Make sure that you cure to dry in between.
• Use a different color nail polish in order to paint a halfmoon line across your nail plate. Start at the natural half moon of your finger nails.
• You could opt for more than one line on one or more of your fingers.

Additional Tip:

• Sometimes less is more. If you’re looking for a conservative look with this, use one finger on each hand to display multiple lines.
• You can use more than one color in between the lines.

The most important thing to remember with this is that it does not have to be perfect/. Off course, having lines as straight as possible is better, but a mistake can easily be corrected by covering up.
