    Here are the tools you'll need:

    - Base coat

    - White nail polish (we used OPI Alpine Snow)

    - Light blue nail polish (we used Deborah Lippman On The Beach)

    - Medium blue nail polish (we used CoverGirl On The Beach)

    - Dark blue nail polish (we used OPI Eurso Euro)

    - Striper brush

    - Nail polish remover

    - Cotton ball

    - (Optional) Pre-glued nails (we used Patricia Inspire nails)

    You can paint directly on your natural nail, or you can use pre-glued nails, which can make art much easier. Follow these instructions if you're going to use pre-glued nails.

    Step 1: After painting a clear base coat, use two coats of white polish on your nails.

    Step 2: With the lightest blue polish, swipe from the top left side of the nail over to the center.

    You'll be creating the first side of a heart. Use a gentle amount of pressure to round out the brush as you swipe the polish across the nail, giving you a rounded blue shape.

    Step 3: Repeat Step 2 on the right side of the nail.

    The blue heart should cover about one-third of the nail. Let the paint dry for about five minutes before moving to the next step.

    Step 4: Dip the striper brush into the medium blue color. Inside of the first heart, paint a smaller blue heart.

    Make the second heart small enough that you can still see the outline of the first, larger heart. Once you're done painting, clean off the striper brush with nail polish remover and a cotton ball. Let the polish dry for about five minutes before moving to the next step.

    Step 5: Dip the striper brush into the darkest blue polish and paint a third, even smaller heart inside of the first two hearts.

    The smallest heart is kind of like a really wide "V" shape. Once the polish has dried for about 20 minutes, seal up the manicure with a top coat!

    Your ombré nails are fly AF.
