Ombre:
shaded or graduated in tone: said of a color

Lately we have been seeing a trend: ombre everything! I have seen ombre hair, clothing, fabric, and of course my favorite … on nails! I had wanted to try my own version for awhile and I finally got around to doing it.  Since we have  two new limited edition blue/teal colors for Ovarian Cancer Research Fund: OCRF (www.ocrf.org) and Super Saturday, I figured it was the perfect time to do it.  Super Saturday is an awesome event hosted by Kelly Ripa and Donna Karen this Saturday, July 30th, in the Hamptons on Long Island.  Color Club is going to be doing the manicures and nail art on everyone, right at our Color Club color bar booth! We’re super excited and it is raising money for an amazing cause: Ovarian Cancer Research.   If you are going to be at the event this Saturday, stop by, get your nails done and say hi!

Here is my full ombre manicure:

From L to R (thumb – Color Club Blue-Topia, OCRF Teal, Super Saturday Teal, Factory Girl, Take Me To Your Chateau – pinky)

Here are the two OCRF colors that inspired my ombre! Left, Super Saturday Teal – Right, OCRF Teal

Here are all the colors I used: Color Club Blue-Topia (or you can use Gossip Column),  OCRF Teal, Super Saturday Teal, Factory Girl, Take Me To Your Chateau

I loved doing this manicure! It was a lot of fun and I was excited to see how it would come out when I had all the colors on.  The great thing about it is that:

1. You get to utilize a lot of colors, possibly some you haven’t even tried yet, if  you’re a polish junkie like myself!

and

2. You can do any color! Try orange, greens, pinks, ANY color would look awesome.  You can do lightest color to darkest or darkest to lightest.  It looks really cool and trendy! Trust me, I’m not one to usually follow nail trends but I just had to give in on this

To purchase the two brand new limited edition custom colors:  “In The Teal” collection (wow, thats a mouthful!) please visit our new retail website Shop Color Club: click here.

A portion of the proceeds goes to OCRF (www.ocrf.org) to benefit Ovarian Cancer Research.  Please join us in helping a amazing cause. Ovarian Cancer is the 5th leading cause of death in American women and awareness month is coming up in September.  Wear your teal proudly! I would love to see your ombre manicures and your thoughts on them!
