Ombré Artistry
The ombré French, also known as the baby boomber nail or French fade, is a stylish nail design where the white tip blends into the back of the nail and merges into the pink. Creating this design is quite straightforward when working with liquid & powder beads, however it can be tricky when using the UV gel system. Fortunately there are two ways to solve this situation. In this Master Class, Giselle shares both her sponging and airbrushing techniques for the creation of a bouncing baby boomer nail.
