Ombre scallop nails

Models Own - red alert, 17 - pink grapefruit, Models Own - pastel pink, Crayola - white nail art pen

I wasn't sure what to call this post - they aren't quite ombre nails and the pattern definitely isn't a clear scalloped edge, but they fall somewhere in between!

I painted this freehand (in a similar way to these stripey nails from last summer) by starting with the lightest colour, and then adding the darker layers in a sort of zig-zaggy shape. Fun.

  2. That's pretty impressive. I love doing different, crazy nail polish colors, but have never done anything like this. I've been seriously contemplating trying out some of my own nail art after seeing it so much recently! Looks too cool. :)
