Reverse Ombre — Darker at tips, lighter at base (unexpected & chic!)

Apply a base coat first
Paint two shades side by side on a makeup sponge
Dab gently onto nails in a pressing motion
Repeat 2–3 times for a deeper blend
Clean edges with a cotton swab + acetone
Seal with a shiny top coat

Use colors that are close in shade for a seamless blend
Gel polish gives longer-lasting ombre than regular polish
Always do a double top coat to prevent chipping
