When not having a little too much fun painting my nails I am a chef. I don't wear polish in the kitchen so I have a lot of opportunities to paint my nails. My nails can get a little crazy but isn't that what nail art is about?

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?
