How-to: The Ombré nails at Pamela Love F/W ’12

The look:

Golden brown Ombré nails with a textured appeal.

The inspiration:

“The rough yet glamorous look of the nails brought an edgy appeal to the overall ‘Factory Girl‘ look. A touch of sparkle brought the metallic tribal-esque accessories to life.”—Elle for Essie.

The how-to:

1. The Ombré effect was achieved with a wash of Essie Nail Polish in Little Brown Dress that deepens as it moves toward the nail tip.

2. Top it off with Essie Nail Polish in As Gold As It Gets and Essie Good To Go Rapid Dry Top Coat.
