Ombré manicure, please help!

[lisasnails]

Here's an ombre Shellac I did. I like the ombre affect but I've never been able to achieve perfect seamlessness. But I think that's what's so fun about the ombre affect in the first place.

That looks awesome!! Thanks for sharing all your ideas peeps

My colleague did something similar on Saturday in exactly the manner suggested by Geeg.

This is beautiful. Would you mind explaining how you did it please?! I've just had my additives and would love to try! x

This wasn't done with additives.

I pressed netting into wet l & p to create the "snakeskin" pattern then I used Black Pool, Hotski and Rubble to create the ombre affect.

Still new to nail art so not the best but first photo is cream puff with yellow additives black pool tiger art and gold glitter, second it the nails I did

Thanks but I can't take credit for the technique. I saw it on CND's website...Just put my own spin on it. :wink2:

Here's the technique using Shellac and CND additives.

How did you avoid getting any uncured Shellac on the skin?

Every time I have seen peeps using sponges, they get the polish on the surrounding skin and have to do a clean up ... None of that nonsense with the additives, nor any risk of overexposure to uncured product or the drying effects of acetone or other solvents.
