How to paint white and nude ombre nails

Add white ombre tips to nude nails and you have a chic modern take on the classic French tip nail. This is a look that someone can wear at any age. Plus, the colors are neutral enough that you can wear them with any outfit. Go funky or sophisticated with the rest of your style, and these nails will complement you perfectly.
These fancy nails are surprisingly quick and easy to paint. You basically just blend white polish from dark to light on top of a nude nail. If you haven't ever tried ombre nails before, this is a good beginner project.

Materials
- Nude nail polish
- White gel polish
- Nail paintbrush
- Fine nail brush for detail
- Clear gel topcoat
Instructions
1. Paint each nail with two solid coats of nude polish. Allow the nails to dry completely between sets and after the second coat.
2. Use the regular nail paintbrush to paint white tips on each nail, approximately one third of the way down the nail.
3. Switch to the finer paintbrush. Use it to draw horizontal lines back and forth across the bottom of the white paint, blending it down into the nude. Using this technique, create blended white polish down to about two thirds of the nail. Now each nail is an ombre going from bright white to blended white to nude.
