Twinsie Tuesday - Ombre Nails

Good morning, dear readers! :D

Today is Twinsie Tuesday!!


Ombre nails are the theme for today.

For this manicure I had a tough time finding polishes that matched really well for the ombre look, so I made mini ombre patterns (the middle, index and thumb, and the middle, ring and pinky) going in each direction from the middle nail.  Does that make any sense? : /  I then tried to make gradients on each nail.  I then added a couple coats of Color Club Covered in Diamonds.  After that, I tried to paint around the nail art in black acrylic paint, but my hand wasn't so steady and the bumpiness from the flakies didn't help.  So here is my confusing mess of a manicure! :D

I quite like this! I have never seen anyone do black around the edges that is really what makes this manicure great imo!

this looks so awesome! It turned out great! I thought Ashesela was a combo of you and your sister's names since you like making frankens together.
