Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular makeup sponges for this design?
Yes, but cosmetic sponges with a finer texture will yield the best results. Avoid sponges with large pores.
How do I prevent the polish from getting all over my skin?
Apply liquid latex or a cuticle protector around your nails before applying the sponge.
What if I don't have liquid latex?
You can use petroleum jelly (Vaseline) around your nails as a barrier, but be careful not to get it on the nail itself.
How long does it take for the ombre nails to dry completely?
It depends on the polish, but typically 30-60 minutes. Use a quick-drying top coat to speed up the process.
Can I use gel polish for this design?
Yes, you can, but you'll need a UV/LED lamp to cure each layer.
Is this design suitable for short nails?
Absolutely! Ombre looks great on nails of any length.
