How to: Ombre Dreamcatcher

He there my lovelies,

 Spring is coming so it's time to bring out the bright colors and the crazy patterns and enjoy the warm weather. Today I have for you a colorful and really easy nail tutorial. I love green, blue and minty colors so I did an ombre look with these colors. For an accent I chose a simple dreamcatcher design because I love dreamcatchers and i like how the look with the background colors.



The nail polishes I used for this look are :
   *Picture 1 - Moda Matte Mint №306; Maybelline Colorama 120 Urban Turquoise;
   *Picture 2 - Colden Rose Red №23 ; Flormar Navy Blue №398; the two little jars are full of little beads which I decided not to use.
   *Things I forgot to make picture of: nail art brush; makeup sponge

First apply a base coat. I recently bought this Regenerating base by Perfect. In the bottle it looks like it has a color but it doesn't as you can see on the second picture. If the nail polish you're using won't stain your nails you can skip this step ( most light colors don't stain the nails) but I recommend using base everytime because it makes your nails harder and the nail polish stay longer.

On this picture I'm only with the mint nail polish that I'm using for a base color. It dries matte but that doesn't bothers we because I'll be using a top coat. I love this color for the spring and summer.

The most important part is the ombre look. To achieve that you'll need a makeup sponge. To do it easier for both of us I wrote the instructions on the picture. It's just that simple!

To create the look just dab the sponge on your nails and you're done. Once you do that the surface of your nails will be rough but the top coat will smooth it. Now just draw the dreamcatcher on your ring finger (or any finger you'd like). I kind of mess up the design with this dots but ... I still like it. here you can add color to your drawing by making small dots but my didn't turn out very good ...

To finish everything apply a top coat - mine is from Golden Rose. I hate waiting for the nail polish to dry so I spray my nails with my favourite Liquid freeze nail dry spray by Avon. It is quite oily so it makes my hands soft and smooth.

This is what the finished manicure looks like. I realy like the combination of the ombre and the dreamcatcher, even though I mess it up. I hope you enjoy it!
