DIY Candy Corn Ombre Nails (Plus Halloween Nails Roundup)

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! It's also the three year anniversary of the day Charlie was rescued and brought into my life. The story on that is here, if you'd like to read.


And today I'm rounding up my Video Week with a nail tutorial. Ombre nails are the most-searched for nail tutorial I get on the blog (I've done LOTS of them), and I thought I'd make a video showing you how I do it. I'm making it seasonal with candy corn, something I've shared a couple of years ago on here, but this isn't a Halloween-specific nail tutorial. The basic techniques shared in the video below can be applied to any regular ombre nails. Just switch out the polishes to any (at least) three colors you like. Enjoy.

If you can't view the video, click here or here:

  • 3 polishes
  • 1 makeup sponge
  • base, top coats
  • polish remover and q-tips for clean up

    Oh I want to try those different fun nails and with the ombre one I didnt know you should be using a wet sponge, now I know what they never came out before. But yeah that one last picture of Charlie is so cute! I wanted to buy that same costume for my dog. Charlie looks too cute!
