✔️ Works great with nail stencils for intricate designs

Step-by-Step Guide: Easy Ombre Gel Polish Nails
Step 1: Prep Your Nails
Proper nail preparation ensures a smooth and long-lasting manicure:
✔️ Shape and buff your nails to remove shine
✔️ Cleanse nails with alcohol or nail cleanser
✔️ Apply a thin gel base coat, then cure under a LED lamp
Step 2: Apply the Base Color
For this design, a soft pearl pink gel polish serves as the foundation for the ombre effect:
✔️ Apply a thin layer of pink gel polish
✔️ Cure for 60 seconds under a LED lamp
✔️ Apply a second coat for better opacity, then cure
Step 3: Create the Ombre Effect with Blooming Gel
The ombre effect blends soft purple into the pink base using blooming gel:
✔️ Apply a thin layer of blooming gel over the cured pink base (do not cure yet!)
✔️ Dab a your gel polish colour near the nail tips and gently blend downward
✔️ Let the color naturally diffuse for a smooth, gradient effect
✔️ Cure under a LED lamp once you’re happy with the blend
💡 Pro Tip: Use a fine blending brush for a softer fade!
Step 4: Add a Delicate Floral Nail Stencil
A floral stencil adds an elegant, artistic touch to the ombre nails:
✔️ Choose a thin, white floral stencil for a classy effect
✔️ Carefully place the stencil over the ombre nail
✔️ Smooth out any air bubbles and press the design firmly
💡 Pro Tip: Use BIAB, base coat or any other harder gel product to seal
✨ Optional: Add a tiny rhinestone to the flower center for a hint of sparkle!
Step 5: Seal and Finish
✔️ Apply a top coat for a high-gloss
✔️ Cure under the LED lamp for 60 seconds
✔️ Wipe off any tacky residue with a lint-free wipe and alcohol or remover
🎉 And that’s it! You now have a stunning set of pink-to-purple ombre nails with floral accents! 🎉
