Grenombre

Surprisingly, I've never done an ombre mani before. I suppose it's because I never got around to finding colors that would work for one. Then just the other day--after some nail mail and an Ulta haul--I had these three polishes sitting on my desk. I thought they complemented each other so nicely that I had to combine them in an ombre-esque mani. Here is the result...











Zoya Zuza + Urban Outfitters Sea Dust + Layla Jade Groove

Overall, I'm very pleased with how this turned out. All the colors are pretty on their own, but I think they work even better together. What do you think?

(P.S. Did any of you guys manage to pick up more Layla holos from the Ulta sale?! I really wanted the purple and black one, but there was hardly anything left when I got there... poo!)

ooh, those 3 polishes look great together! I'd have never thought of mixing those 3 different shades and finishes, but it looks gorgeous.

I can't wait to get that DL Mermaid's Dream dupe :D Did you see DL is releasing a whole new range of "sister" polishes with the same finish in different colors? Pretty cool :)

I don't know if that qualifies as an ombre (personally, I don't understand ombre mani's--I always think of gradients as ombre and ombres as monochromatic skittles) but those polishes look gorgeous together!

I love that the colors are very minty and fresh to look at! I think it tamed down the shockingly pretty holo polish you included! :)
