Friday Tip of The Day: Ombre, Smoky, Nude!

Friday Tip of the Day!

With Summer coming to an end, and Fall right around the corner, we have reached an awkward moment of transition. It's not quite cold enough for full Fall gear, but dressing in head to toe Summer seems out of place as well.

My style tip of the day celebrates this transitional moment with a look inspired by Fall. Try a warm brown smoky eye, ombre nail, and a nude lip and you are sure to enjoy the upcoming season  to the fullest!

Ombre French Tip Nails!

OMBRÉ

Traditional French tipped nails with ombre? Can we say, genius? 

Not only does it look more natural, it is so much easier to achieve this look yourself, than the traditional way where you have to make a straight like that almost never looks right. 

So how to ombre? 

1. You will need, a sponge, toothpicks, or little paint brush, clear plastic, and your desired colors. 

2.) Paint all your nails with the lightest color.

3.) Drop several drops of the two colors, side by side, on a clear plastic surface. 

4.) Mix the the middle section of the adjoining color to creating shading.

5.) Take a sponge and gently go over the nail polishes.

6.) Lightly press onto nail.

7.) Let dry.

8.) Finish off with top coat

All finished! xo

DIY Ombre Lips

OMBRÉ

Ombre lips are all over the runway and sign, make up is transforming into a true art form.  No longer simply adding color, now you have the option to play with shading! Mixing and matching different colors, and creating variation in shades, can greatly change your face and mood of an overall look.

Achieving all these ombre lips are super easy. All you need is a lip brush, at least two lip glosses, and powdered glimmer. The next step is just blend, blend, and be creative!
