Am I doing the right thing to create and Ombre look? I have done a couple of pops and start by carefully dabbing on small amounts of the Additive, starting from the bottom. Gradually working my way up dabbing for a full look, until I then decide to try and blend.
I then start 'pulling' the full area towards the free edge to make the faded effect and this also creates a further area of Additive, but a more transparent look the closer it gets to the free edge.
You can see by the second pic that I was not as particular in the central area of pulling the Additives towards the free edge.
But, is this technique how I should be doing it?
It's Fedora (Shellac) and Antique Bronze Additive.
I am sorry for the size of the photos, I've had a bit of bother with them today coming out all sizes!
Love the colours... What did you use?So... Having played with the additives on tips all week I decided it was time to let them loose on some real nails... Mine! So I went for a fade from pinky colour into a purpley colour. Attempt one looked pants so it was removed. Attempt two looked better but with a massive hair on little finger, but I thought, ah I'll redo that one tomorrow. Then I d-spersed and found I hadn't top coated fully. So a good few hours later I am left with two nails out of 10 done. Reasonably happy with them - but feeling stressed about others as going away tomorrow and still loads to get sorted - plus 8 nails to paint!!
Anyway - be gentle - what do you think?

I love that snake skin effect and the mesh you used looks perfect for the job, with the pattern and size. Was it easy to find?

Here is my latest. Shellac cream puff with the blue the yellow to creat the turquoise and created bubbles with dsperse drops (idea I got off chocolatepickle thank you!) and created reed things with glitzy lips foil (I don't have usual nail foil at the mo)
They are a bit untidy, I'm still getting used to applying the top coat so when you remove tacky layer you don't wipe off half your additive! And cream puff I found tricky to paint a whole nail in it.

Just re looked at pic and they are more greeny turquoise in real life!
