Ombre Nails

7 Oct

I’m a sucker for trends. And I think nail trends are especially fun. Where else can you go wild with color or design and still be able to wear it to work?

I stumbled upon the ombre nail trend on Pinterest (my newest obsession) earlier this week and then a fellow beauty blogger mentioned them on Facebook. What exactly are ombre nails? I’m glad you asked!…

Ombre just means shaded or variation in color. You’ve probably seen dresses that go from a bold color and fade down to a lighter shade. Seeing as how I already own about 35 different bottles of nail polish, this seemed like a thrifty trend worth trying!

In all my girly years, I’m not sure I’ve ever painted each nail a different color. Man, I’ve been missing out! I think this trend is fun and surprisingly chic if you choose more neutral colors. Who is going to try this trend with me?

    35 bottle of nail polish?! I’m lucky to have one that isn’t clogged and impossible to use!
