China Glaze Ombre "Wait Teal You See It"

I saw this package at Sally's Beauty Supply this weekend for a mere $12.99 (price good through 3/31) and SNAPPED that baby up.

Why? Well, aside from ombre being the IN thing right now, these are FULL-SIZED bottles of China Glaze--4 of them, plus 10 sponges for $13.
The colors in this set are:

  • White on White
  • Aquadelic
  • For Audrey
  • Turned up Turquoise


Sally's charges something like $5 per bottle of China Glaze at least so this was a steal.

Here's a shot of the sponges:

This isn't my first attempt at Ombre. It's probably my fourth. But it's my first attempt with four colors and these sponges.

Here's the result on my left hand:


I didn't like the spotty look to it so I tried using my own make-up sponges on my right hand.
Take a look:


The polishes in this set are a great value however I'm not sold on the sponges.
That said, I'll probably go back and by the purple set they had.

Ombré Manicure

I finally got around to buying makeup wedges today so I could try to do an ombré manicure. I used this tutorial as my inspiration. It came out nice unless you look close (nicer than this photograph shows lol). I still haven't gotten the hang of the crisp edges thing the pros can do. 

But I'm pleased with the effect. I'll probably do this again even though it's messy (most of the time was spent on clean-up).


This manicure used these polishes:
Julep "Jessica"
ORLY "Prelude to a Kiss"
