My Mom is that person who loves one colour of polish and never gravitates to anything different. Her colour is "Wine With Everything" by Revlon, to be specific. Has been for years. In fact, I inherited that colour when I inherited her polishes.
It is always an adventure trying to get her to wear different colours, or any nail art. She likes red polishes and simple designs. Hence this nail design! I picked a burgundy colour that is darker than her usual and did a subtle ombre with a lighter shade. The ombre was done with some makeup sponges I found at Walmart.
On the ring finger I did a simple design with striping tape. Paint the base colour first and once it dries place your striping tape over it in the design you want. Lastly sponge on a second colour half way up the nail and then peel off the tape. Easy!
The end result are nails that suit her perfect and has earned her many compliments at work (she says the nails look amazing in the light of her computer screen). The colour of these nails would even work nicely for Halloween costume nails.
