Tools: For the basecoat, Sephora by OPI Ocean Love Nail Color, $9, available at Sephora; for the tips, USLU Airlines by Bernhard Wilhelm TKO, $26, available at Farfetch; for blending, a cosmetic sponge; for the topcoat, Butter London Hardwear Quick Topcoat, $18, available at Drugstore.com.
Directions: Apply the base color, and wait 'til dry. Pour a little bit of dark polish onto a hard, throwaway surface (we used a CD case) and dab a little bit at a time onto the foundation sponge. Using short, quick strokes, pat on the dark polish layer by layer, focusing on the ends of your nails. Before completely drying, use the topcoat to blend all the colors together. Voila! Ombre nails without a spraygun!
Tools: For the base coat, Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in Sunset Orange, $4.91, available atDrugstores; for the blooms and leaves, Milani Nail Art Precision Brushes in Green Sketch and Yellow Design, $3.99, available at Cherry Culture; for the outlines, Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black, $7, available at Drugstores; any clear topcoat.
Directions: After applying a base color and waiting for it to dry, make two to three messy splotches in a bright color with your precision brush. Add one to two isosceles triangles in green. Don't worry if things look sloppy at this stage. Once it dries, use the Nail Art pen to draw "V"s over the green leaves, and spiral squiggles around the flowers to mimic leaves. After it dries, apply a top coat, admire, and then be prepared to field compliments. (via)
