How to Do Short Ombre Nails at Home

If you’re new to ombre nails, don’t worry! They may look complicated, but they’re actually quite easy to do. All you need is a few supplies and some patience. Here’s what you’ll need:

-A base coat: this will help your nails grow and prevent them from staining.

-A top coat: this will protect your nails and make them last longer.

-Nail polish in two or more colors: we recommend using a light color and a dark color for the best effect.

-A makeup sponge: this will be used to apply the polish to your nails.

-A toothpick or dotting tool: this will be used to create the nail art1.

-Scissors: this will be used to cut the sponge into smaller pieces.

Now that you have all of your supplies, let’s get started! Start by applying a base coat to your nails and letting it dry. Once the base coat is dry, take your makeup sponge and cut it into small pieces. You will need about two pieces for each nail. 

Take one piece of sponge and dip it into the light color polish. Apply the polish to your nails in a downward motion. Repeat this step with the dark color polish. Once you’re happy with the way your nails look, apply a top coat and enjoy your new ombre nail design!

You can also add a little bit of glitter to your nails for a fun and festive look. Simply apply a layer of top coat and then sprinkle on some glitter. Use a toothpick or other sharp object to help apply the glitter evenly. Let the top coat dry completely before adding another layer of top coat to seal in the glitter. 

And that’s it! You now have a beautiful and festive ombre nail design. Below, we’ve put together a few of our favorite ombre nail designs for short nails. Be sure to try out a few of these designs and let us know which ones are your favorites!
