Easy Colurful Ombre Gradient Nails


Nothing shouts spring and summer than bold bright fun colors. This nail design is perfect because it is an explosion of just that! This design looks complicated, but it is the funnest and easiest to do. It's a bit messy and you need quite a few polishes, but it's all worth it!!! It kinda reminds me of tye die rainbow or a beautiful beach sunset.

Here's what I used: 



 Try to use colors that are opaque and vibrant. You do not have to use these exact polishes and brands. This is just what I had.
  • White polish: Sally Hansen Xtreme wear -White on
  • Cosmetic sponge
(White is for the base color. Having a white color as the base will allow the colors to pop and show more vibrant than if you do  not use a white base. Important: Allow the white to dry COMPLETELY  before you start to sponge or else the sponge will stick to the polish and the end result will not look nice.
  • Blue polish: Sally Hansen Insta dry- Blue By!
  • Purple polish: kleancolor lavenbaby
  • Pink polish: Sally Hansen insta dry fast fuchsia 
  • Orange polish: loreal boozy beach
  • Yellow polish kleancolor neon yellow
Once you have your colors ready, line them up near you so can have easy access to them. Line them up in the order that you will be using them and loosen the cap so that when you are ready to start you can just applithe colors to the spoge faster. Start by applying the darkest color to the sponge horizontaly and go down using the next color until you have all the colors on the sponge. Try to do this fast to the polish will not dry on the sponge. 
  • Nail polish reover or acetone - I used a polish remver from target. 
  • Top coat- Nail envy Acrylic strong. 
Finishing with a topcoat is very important. Not only will it add shine to your finished nails, but it helps blend the colors together. Trust me, it makes a difference.
