What is ombre
Shellac ombre is a very beautiful design that is now in trend. It is good both by simple transition of color to color, and as a background for more complex designs. Overflows of different tones, resembling a sunset sky, turn a manicure into a work of art. Although you can perform it with ordinary varnish, it is easier to make shellac. With an ombre, a manicure will never be boring. And if you need variety, you can just change the colors.
There are several ways to perform ombre. Classical is the transfer of a stretch of color from the palette to the nail with the help of a fine-sponged sponge. For this, several strips of tones are applied to the palette, trying to go a little to the next. Then gently mix the transition zone with a toothpick. Now it remains only to type on a sponge and print this beauty on a fingernail. The imprint is repeated three times, slightly moving the sponge slightly up and slightly down. So, the borders of color are finally blurred.
Color matching
To perform a fashionable ombre manicure, colors are first selected. The transition will be made of them. It must be said that not all colors fit together. A combination of them studies color. The classic method of teaching was the chromatic circle. On it, colors that combine with each other are located nearby, and antagonists on the contrary.
The girls who constantly make up the wardrobe are already familiar with it and know that without accent colors the overall look will be boring. Against the background of a gradient combining adjacent colors, it’s good to single out one finger, which will become an accent. The most often combined in the ombre are white and pink, red and black, yellow and fuchsia, mint and sky blue, turquoise and blue. But the rainbow overflow looks the most spectacular.
Shellac ombre rainbow
Rainbow design is popular this season. It is as if created for the ombre technique. The peculiarity of this design is the color transition according to the principle of the rainbow. She is the standard, but does not dominate the master. It is not necessary to keep all seven colors on one nail, you can distribute them in the cold and warm parts of the rainbow. For example, on one hand perform an ombre with a transition from violet through blue and turquoise to green. On the other - the transition from greenish yellow through yellow-orange and red to burgundy. This design is called "Different Hands", he is now at the height of fashion.
Keeping the order of colors, you can make an ombre of different intensity. After all, the rainbow is also bright and pale.

But the collection of neon varnishes is very limited: with the same composition, some colors look brighter than others. Of the neons, you can choose pink, lemon, lime and purple. The rest will not give such a bright glow, these are the laws of coloristics and nothing can be done with them. Neon varnishes are always printed on a white substrate, since they are transparent in themselves.
