"Lauren Conrad isn&amp;#x27;t the only one going for the gradual ombre nail look. I put together my own purple ombre pedicure all by myself. Are you into it? Excuse the grainy photo. I took it with my phone, so it&amp;#x27;s not the best quality, but it gives you the idea. What I did: Instead of hunting down 5 different nail polish colors I thought would look good together, I chose three: Regal by SpaRitual (a dark eggplant), The Color to Watch by OPI (a pearly grape) and an old bottle of white Wet N Wild Megalast Nail Color I had. Then I painted my pinky toe with the Regal and my second toe with the The Color to Watch and let dry. Then on a paper plate, I mixed together a swatch that was half white and half Regal and put that on my...uh ring toe. I added a bit more white and some of the The Color to Watch and then put that on my middle toe. And then I made a mixture of half white and half The Color to Watch and painted that on my big toe. Confused? Basically, what it boils down to is I used white to lighten two different colors to take the guesswork out of finding five shades that really went together. Oh, and I just wiped off the nail polish brushes with a paper towel when I was done so the mixtures wouldn&amp;#x27;t &amp;quot;contaminate&amp;quot; the original color&amp;amp;#8212;no problem there. It took a little more time than a regular pedicure, but only added on a few extra minutes. And I keep getting complimented on it, so I&amp;#x27;d say it was worth it. Are you an ombre fan? Would you go for this look? Got a method of your own for getting 5 colors that look good together? Discuss. More Ways to Get Glamour: More Ways to Get Glamour: NEW!
