Ombre Nails

The ombre nail trend is still going strong! So if you love ombre nails, try this fun vertical version. It’s super easy to do and looks amazing!

The easiest way to get the ombre nail look is with a makeup sponge, and it’s incredibly easy to create this look at home!

I had this cute summer manicure done at Her Majesty’s Pleasure in Yorkville Toronto when Essie invited me to check out their new Swoon the Lagoon Collection. Check out my mini vlog for the event below!

Negative space nails leave a bit of your natural nails poking through for a fresh and fun nail design.
