Purple Ombre


Thinking back, I realize I have always been a little crazy with my nails, I just went on a break for a while.  In high school I constantly had each nail a different color.  It was a way to have a little fun with such strict uniform rules.  Now that I can dye my hair any color under the rainbow (it currently has hot pink streaks, they started purple) and no real uniform except when I am in the kitchen, I am going a little crazy with my nails.  And to top it off, I don't wear nail polish when I am in the kitchen, so that means I have lots of opportunities to paint my nails.

These purple ombre nails were inspired simply from three different OPI colors.  The light lilac shade I have always loved when getting a pedi and I finally found a store that sold it.  But it gets better, OPI made three great shades of purple in the lilac/violet family.  I picked up all three.  With a little creative layering, it got the in between colors (pointer and ring finger).  I still love how simple and easy this look is.

Has anyone tried doing an ombre effect just by layering polishes?
