4. Ethereal Butterflies & Ombre Coffin Nails
These long coffin nails are ethereal and dreamy! They combine the popular turquoise ombre effect on a nude base with accent nails featuring clear extensions filled with iridescent glitter and delicate butterfly sequins. Rhinestone clusters near the cuticles on the ombre nails add an extra touch of sparkle. This look is perfect for someone who loves feminine details and a bit of fantasy.
- Get the Look at Home:
- Prep nails (long coffin shape shown), apply base coat, and create the turquoise ombre ☍ on a nude base ☍ using the sponge method described in #3 on several nails.
- For the butterfly nails (simplified): Apply a clear or very sheer nude base coat. While tacky, carefully place butterfly nail sequins ☍ and iridescent glitter. Encapsulate with 1-2 layers of top coat or clear builder gel if you use gel. Achieving the fully clear encapsulated look usually requires acrylic or builder gel extensions.
- Add rhinestone clusters ☍ near the cuticles on the ombre nails using nail gem glue ☍ .
- Finish with glossy top coat ☍ .
