It is preferable to begin with the original French ombre if you are a novice. A French manicure differs from a French ombre in that there is no sharp contrast between the white nail tip and the nail base; instead, the white nail tips gradually blend into the flesh or a nude base.

Extra Advice Try covering the ombre with a sheer polish. An attractive, glossy finish and more color blending can be achieved with a sheer or shimmer top coat. To extend the life of your manicure and smooth out the design, apply a premium top coat. Use acetone and a tiny brush to blend colors. If the gradient appears harsh, smooth the transition by softly dabbing a small brush with acetone. To prevent removing too much polish, use a delicate touch.
To improve control, work in thin layers. Applying several thin coats rather than a single thick coat lessens the possibility of smudging or streaking and helps create a more realistic fade.
