Hey, bloggers! Although this is more of a beauty than fashion post, I'm going to attempt a 'tutorial' of sorts, hopefully teaching you how to create ombre nails. So, without further ado, here goes...
What you'll need:
- 2 nail varnishes, your choice of colours
- a sponge of some kind (I used a small make-up one)
- a plastic sheet
- a tooth pick
- some nail varnish remover
- some cotton buds
- a clear nail varnish for the final coat
1. Using the nail varnish you have chosen to be the background colour, paint two coats (or more, if you need to), until the whole nail is covered evenly.

2. On the plastic sheet, pour two small blobs of each of the colours. Using the tooth pick, mix the colours together in the middle.
3. Dip the sponge into the nail varnish mixture, and dab the sponge onto your nails. Start at the top, before gradually moving downwards (be warned - it's going to cover your finger too).
4. Once the colour has dried, dip a cotton bud into some nail varnish remover/acetone. Use this to remove any excess nail varnish around the edges of the nails. Finally, cover the nails with a few coats of nail varnish top coat (you may need two or three, as the sponging makes the nails slightly bumpy.)
I hope you enjoyed this post, and let me know if you're going to try this or if you already have! Tag me in your pictures on Instagram: @fashionbykennedy because I'd love to see if you attempted them.
My Outfit Of The Day post will not be until next Tuesday, which I apologise for, but there will be a new Style Icon of The Week tomorrow, featuring Lucy Hale!
Let me know what you think!
