Ombre nails

So I wanted to do something different to my nails and chose to ombre them (i'm not prepared to do that to my hair like so many others have). It's a relatively easy to do effect on your nails and here are the steps.
This is what you will need:
Nail varnishes: BYS crystal clear top coat, Barry M strawberry Ice cream, Barry M Berry Ice cream, Barry M Blueberry Ice cream.
Nail varnish remover (put mine in the lid)
Sponge piece (mine is covered in the ombre effect so you know what it looked like)
Cotton buds for wiping excess.
1. choose 3 colour nail varnishes you want to ombre (I chose blue, purple then pink), cut up a sponge to the length of your nail -and width- I used a washing up sponge.
2. start applying the 3 colours in an equal amount on the piece of sponge until you have all 3 on it. Next place the sponge on your finger and dab until your nail is covered in the nail varnish, dont worry if you have some on your skin as you can clean up later. Repeat until all your nails are done!
3. Once completed get some nail varnish remover and a cotton bud and go around the nail cleaning up any that has gone over your nails.
4. Finally apply a base coat over the top of the nail varnish and leave to dry.
ALL DONE!

Not that you can see it very well but here is the finished article
