Geometric / Ombre Combination Nail Art

As I was scrolling through Pinterest looking at all kinds of nail art designs, deciding what I wanted to create, my eyes were drawn to both a bright ombre and a monochrome geometric print. Therefore I thought why not combine the two together and this is what I came up with.


What will you need?


To create this look you will need nail varnish in the shades mint, fuchsia, white, black and a glitter. You will also need a thin nail art brush and silly me forgot to include a sponge and top coat in the image (whoops)!
I used Barry M 'Greenberry and Matt White', a Colour Club glitter and Illamasqua Boosh, Obsess and Top Coat.

Step-by-Step:


Step 1: Paint all nails in two coats of the while nail varnish.

Step 2: Next paint your ring finger and thumb nail in the mint shade.

Step 3: Take the fuchsia shade on a sponge and create the ombre effect.

Step 4: Next take the black nail varnish on a thin nail art brush and create the geometric triangle shapes. I created two 'L' shapes inter-locking each other to achieve this.

Step 5: Picking up large glitter pieces on the nail art brush, place these into a vertical line on the ombre nails.

Step 6: Finally once all nails are dry, paint a layer of top coat over each nail. This will seal in the nail art and prevent chipping. 


I hope you have enjoyed this nail art tutorial! What do you think?

Until next time, Samantha xx
