Trend Watch: Ombre Nails

 Ombre nails fade from one nail to the next. To get this look you could either have five different shades of the polish color you want to go from dark to light. Or you can start with a base color and mix in varies degrees of white or black nail polish.

Since I wanted to go with a taupey gray look and already had five polishes that would work perfectly I used them instead of mixing polishes.

  What do you think of the Ombre Nail Trend?!

    I love this trend, but I think it would be better for a fun weekend nail look rather than for work ( at least for my job). I do love the gray color combo.

    I kind of like this, but I don't think that it would fly in my office unfortuantely...

    Loving it! Too bad I don't have 5 varying shades of the same color and adding white/black is just too much effort. Guess I'll have to buy more nail polish!

    Oh boy. I'm kind of in love. But I don't have five similar colors! Maybe I'll buy some white and black and get mixing! Thanks for the idea : )

    I think it's super cute! I really like it because it has the color palette that never gets old.

    I'm not sure what I think about it yet! Although, I didn't like the whole dark nail polish thing a while back and it grew on me...maybe this will too!
