Ombre Manicure

Hi! Today I have an ombre manicure to show you. Unfortunately these pictures are not the best quality.

I used Essie Borrowed & Blue and OPI Last Friday Night. Essie Borrowed & Blue is from their 2011 Wedding collection. It is nice to see a company produce a wedding collection that is not just pale sheer colors. OPI Last Friday Night is from the Katy Perry collection released this year.

Essie Borrowed & Blue is a very light blue. It is similar to Hard Candy Sky (from Walmart) except that the Essie is a creme while Sky has slight shimmer. Essie Borrowed & Blue applies great becoming opaque in two coats.

OPI Last Friday Night is very sheer. However, it is a great blue glitter with round glitter prismatic pieces. 

It looks great layered and good own its own. Confetti, available at CVS, has a blue very similar to this called Party Palace Blue. It might even be a dupe and at $1.99 the price is much lower than the OPI. 

I created this manicure by applying Last Friday Night first about halfway on my nails. Then I applied another coat of it further upward on my nail. I continued this process until I had the color I wanted on my tips. It is very easy to do and looks great. All you need is a base color and a sheer glitter. You can use matching colors for the glitter and base or switch it up. I'm going to try it with pink next.

Thanks for stopping by!
