Ombre Nail Art

This was one of my first tries ever at nail art! A lot of the methods for doing an ombre design called for supplies I don't have, so I ended up winging it. I started with a bottom coat of the lighter color (actually a very pale lavender). To get the shading, I mostly just used the brushes to paint the nail polish colors back and forth, adding a little more of one or the other depending on what it looked like. I did try mixing some polish together and painting that on, which helped for the middle section. I like how instead of a smooth gradient I ended up with something a lot more vibrant and visually interesting, but still shows as an ombre effect at a glance.
