NOTD: Ombre Nails

I was going through my nail polishes today and I realized that I had a lot of colours in different shades. I had enough pinks, purples and oranges to do ombre nails. I decided to do purples ombre nails first. Apparently I am all about the purples these days, because my last two NOTD have also been purples. Oh, well another one won't hurt. 

Ombre nails were very trendy last year. Lauren Conrad was pictured sporting them a couple of times on the red carpet. You can see her attempts here. 

I used these five nail polishes which I've had forever. Out of the five the 17 one is my favourite. It's such a pretty, pinky lilac.This is the sequence I've used them in.

Normally, with ombre nails you paint your pinky the darkest and subsequently paint the next nail a shade lighter. Today I decided to paint it the lightest (honestly, I forgot and I thought the pinky was supposed to be the lightest. We're going to pretend that I did it on purpose). Ombre nails are still very trendy this year as well. They're perfect for spring, because they show the transition from winter to spring/summer.

Have you tried this trend?

Hot Trend Alert: Ombre Nails

Ombre Nails are just as popular as the two toned nail trend. They have been on InStyle magazines three must have manicures since late last year. Honestly, this is one of the trends I tried to resist for a bit, but then I saw Lauren Conrad (I ♥♥♥ her)  sporting it (again) during a recent event she attended. Does Lauren Conrad ever commit a fashion crime? No, never!

She was first spotted with Ombre nails at the 'Who What Wear' book party a few months ago.

Lauren sported blue toned Ombre nails at a Rebecca Minkoff party. The manicure she sported at the party is the exact copy of the manicure that was shown in InStyle magazine. The blue shades perfectly compliment the baby-blue high lights in her hair. (which I obviously adore)

It's a chic, fun manicure, that is definitely worth a try. To re-create her style, simply paint your pinky the darkest color, applying a polish in a gradually lighter tone for each of the subsequent nails. All you need are two shades to create your own custom ombre sensation.

Personally, I love trying nail trends, (Lauren Conrad sporting it, doesn't have anything to do with it. Haha! ;p) so I'm excited to try it. Are you?
