Ombre Leopard Spot Nails.

When I was deciding on a manicure for today all I knew was that I wanted a fun summer design that incorporated my two new neon polishes, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy and Turned Up Turquoise.

I ended up deciding to do a design I've had in mind lately, a freehand leopard print where the spots create a gradient.

Flip Flop Fantasy was the base color for the design, and I did the spots using Turned Up Turquoise which I lightened and darkened with white or black polishes to create the gradient. The black polish I used to complete the leopard print was CND Oil Slick.

I love manicures that incorporate ombre or gradients, and I think this is one I'll be trying more!

Green Ombre Nails.

I ombre'd my hair at the beginning of summer, and it's been the perfect change for the season. Ombre hair might not be for everyone, but ombre nails are so simple and fun. 

The color I started with is LA Colors Atomic (on my middle ringer,) and then I just added either white or black to get the colors for the rest of my nails. To add a little something extra to the manicure I used the hexagon glitters I raved about, here.
