!! Attention !! This article is not for sale, it's just the step by step!
Step 1: Start with a finished (artificial) nail. Apply one color to one half of the nail in a vertical direction with the brush from the bottle. On the other half, apply the other color. Make sure the colors touch each other in the middle. Don't use too much product, everything must cure well! Make sure the colors are neatly applied at the cuticles. Do not cure!
Step 2: With the ombré brush, start from the cuticle. With short zigzag movements, slightly overlap the colors above the midline, so they blend a little. Do this until the free edge. Still do not cure.
Step 3: Clean your ombré brush well. Now, run your ombré brush vertically over your zigzag line from the previous step. Repeat this a few times until you see the colors are well blended. Still do not cure.
Step 4: Clean your brush. Continue with your vertical movements, but move slightly to the left each time, then back to the right and so on, to create a nice transition. Repeat as necessary. Clean your brush regularly. Start with a clean brush each time in the middle. You will see that the middle strip will have a nice fade. The width of this strip is up to you depending on how far you go left/right. When you are satisfied, you can cure the nail for 60 seconds.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 until you are satisfied.
Step 6: Finish with Shield & Shine.
Pro tips:
Tip 1: If you're not 100% satisfied, use one of the Shield & Sparkle tops, a glitter can camouflage small imperfections.
Tip 2: Use colors that are close together if you haven't fully mastered the technique yet.
