How to Achieve Gorgeous Turquoise Water Blue Ombre Nails

Watch and discover how to create easily by yourself a smooth Turquoise Ombre with iridescent glitter for a refreshing look on your nails. Simply with the Ombre brush – the best tool for the job.

To create this look, you’ll need:

  • Base gel polish
  • Top Coat gel polish
  • White gel polish
  • Exotic teal gel polish
  • Fantasy turquoise gel polish
  • Milk gel polish
  • Ombre brush
  • LED or UV nail lamp
  • Basic kit (alcohol or cleaner to remove any trace of oil from your nails and clean your brush, paper towel or pad and a wooden cuticle stick to scrape off the gel in case you get over the edges)

Level of difficulty: easy

Let’s get started!
Watch the video and follow the steps

  1. First, clean the surface of your nails with a small piece of paper towel or pad soaked in a little alcohol and keep it aside.
  2. Apply a thin layer of Base gel polish by starting at the tip and slowly moving towards the base of the nail. Carefully slide your hand under the LED lamp and cure for 20 seconds (1-2 minutes for UV lamp, 4 minutes for the Cracker lamp).
  3. Now apply a single layer of White gel polish and cure for 20 seconds (3 minutes for the Cracker lamp).  
  4. Apply Exotic teal gel polish this time only at the base of the nail and apply now Milk gel polish to the rest of the nail. Take the Ombre brush and start gently moving the colours from the base to the tip of the nail in a horizontal pattern. Remove excess colour by wiping off your brush. Cure under the LED lamp for 30 seconds. 
  5. Apply again Exotic teal gel polish at the base of the nail, apply now Fantasy turquoise gel polish in the middle of the nail (a thick layer) then apply Milk gel polish on the tip of the nail. Take the Ombre brush and gently move the colours from the base to the tip of the nail in a horizontal pattern. Remove excess colour by wiping off your brush to control the extend of the Ombre. Cure under the LED lamp for 30 seconds.
  6. Apply again a good layer of Milk gel polish on the tip of the nail and take the Ombre brush to blend it with the colour above following the same technique. Cure under the LED lamp for 30 seconds. 
  7. Finish by applying a coat of The Top Coat gel polish starting at the tip and slowly moving towards the base of the nail. Finish by sealing the tip of the nail. Cure for 30 seconds. Touch the surface of your nails to check if it’s completely dry, if not cure for another 30 seconds. I use a no wipe top coat, so your nails should be dry when finished (no need to rub with alcohol).
