Skittle ombre nails tutorial

Hi all! Today I have a quick skittle ombre nails tutorial. All you need is 2 different polishes (one lighter and one darker shade), a brush and a topcoat. The skittle ombre will look like this:

 Color Club- Fast Dry Top Coat/ Color Club- Poptastic/ Sinful Colors- Snow Me White.
 
As you can see from the photo above I decided to use a bright pink and a creme white polish for the main colors. I used the Snow Me White to cover my pinky nail and the Poptastic on the thumb nail (my ombre will go from pinky being the lightest and the thumb being the darkest). From then on, the polish mixing will begin…

1. Start with 3 drops of light and 1 drop of dark to get the color for your ring finger (double the amount if doing both of the ring fingers as then the colors will be exactly the same, however you have to be fast because the polish starts getting tacky quick, I would start with just one nail/hand at a time and remember/write down the ratios used).

2. Use the brush to mix up the colors, mix until the polish looks nice and creme with no darker lines.

3. Cover your ring finger with the achieved color.

4. Repeat these steps for your middle finger, but this time use about 2 drops of light polish with 1 drop of the dark one.

5. Same process again for your index finger, add 1 drop of lighter color and 1-2 drops of the darker. You can play around with the ratios to achieve the best tone.

6. Top up with the top coat and enjoy!
