Blue-Purple Ombre Nails

(please excuse the quality and location)
Colors Used:
Essie-Bikini So Teeny
OPI-Sparrow Me The Dream

These nails are super easy to do and are so pretty when they're finished! All you need is a cosmetic sponge like these guys:
Start with a white base if you want your colors to pop (I didn't use one when I did these nails but in retrospect I would have), then wait for it to dry. Once it's dry, take your sponge and paint a stripe of blue and then a stripe of purple underneath it, creating the gradient that you'll sponge onto your nail. Once some of the excess color has soaked up into the sponge, align the sponge with your nail and press down, rolling it across your nail and making sure to cover all the white. You can repeat this if you don't get enough color or coverage the first time. That's it! You now have gorgeous ombre nails :)

Love it? Hate it? Think I should work on my photography skills? Leave your feedback :)
