Jelly Clouds | Nail Art Tutorial

Strawberry jelly skies for days- also, I cannot help but hear “Watermelon Sugar” by Harry Styles on repeat in my head when I look at these beauts. Yes, we’re going to be doing a hand-painted-no-hacks-no-shortcuts ombré, but before you stress out- it’s also got GLITTER. We all know that glitter covers a multitude of sins. Now, add some fluffy marshmallow clouds and we’re in BUSINESS.

Why is this ombré easier than others?

Well, first off, pink and white baby boomer gel ombrés are crazy hard so, we, as a nail community need to stop judging our ombré skills on failed baby boomer attempts. Also, if you can easily do a gel polish baby boomer without shortcuts or hacks, l will pull a full-on Wayne’s World “we’re not worthy” at your feet.

This ombré is easier because we’re using colors that aren’t in competition with each other- we’re blending a creamy lipstick pink into a clear gradation gel and then topping that gel with a sheer pink glitter to bring it all together.

I need you to promise me that you won’t overthink it. Work in layers and use a light touch, you got this.
