The cousin to the ever popular ombre is the ever stylish gradient. If we’re talking math terms here, gradient simply means the variation of space by a quantity represented on a slope. And by slope I totally mean your nails. I’m using glitter to create my gradient, three to be exact, as I encourage you to use at least two or more glitters for this look. Now let’s get into it!

Manicure trends have been raising the stakes recently! One of the most eye catching is the Full Hand Ombre Manuicure. The key to an ombre manicure is subtle shade transitions from the thumb to the pinky. Typically, you start with a bold hue and slowly transition into a light shade. Let’s take it a step further and start with one color and end with another! Follow the below steps to master the Strawberry to Red Raspberry Full Hand Ombre Manicure.
Step 1 – Select your beginning and and ending shades first. This will make it easier to choose the transition shades.
Step 2 – Try to opt for colors that will make the transition subtle as opposed to numerous bold colors. Because i’m doing a two color ombre, starting with blue and ending with red, a purple shade will be a great middle color!
Step 3 – Be sure to give each shade a few coats to get the most out of each color, and always finish with a top coat to lock in shine!
The end result is sure to be unique, different, and definitely fun! Be sure to let nails dry and then go out and show off your new ‘juicy’ ombre manicure!
