3. Ombre Tips, Abstract Lines & Rhinestone Glam
This set showcases beautiful turquoise ombre tips on a nude base, often called a baby boomer nail variation. The square shape provides a great canvas. One nail features intriguing abstract white lines over the ombre, resembling fine threads or netting. Another nail amps up the glam with a curved line of sparkling rhinestones ☍ near the cuticle. The mix of soft ombre, graphic lines, and bling is super chic.
- Get the Look at Home:
- Prep nails (square shape shown), apply base coat, and then 1-2 coats of a sheer nude/pink polish ☍ . Let dry.
- For the ombre tip: On a makeup sponge ☍ , paint a stripe of the nude polish and a stripe of turquoise polish ☍ right next to it, slightly overlapping. Dab the sponge onto the nail tip repeatedly, moving slightly up and down, to blend the colors. Build up opacity with 2-3 coats, letting them dry a bit in between. Clean up skin around the nail.
- For the line nail: Once the ombre is dry, use a very fine nail art brush ☍ and white nail polish ☍ to draw thin, random, crisscrossing lines over the tip.
- For the rhinestone nail: Apply tiny dots of nail gem glue ☍ or clear top coat along the cuticle curve. Use a wax pencil or dotting tool ☍ to place rhinestones onto the glue.
- Seal all nails with top coat ☍ , being careful around the rhinestones.
