Ombré Made Easy — Polishment

Who doesn't love an ombre manicure? It's fresh, on-trend, and a great conversation starter. It's creative... but not crazy. It's got the DIY cool without the usual DIY complications.

The hardest part is gathering the perfect spectrum — or shall I say "was" because THE NEW BLACK is taking all the guesswork out of locking down that perfect gradation.

At $22 bucks a pop, a cute five-color set sounds like a smart bet.

I'm not usually one to repeat manicures, but even I would make an exception here. I'd try going from dark to light one week, then flip the ombré when I wanted to try a new look. And if you buy a set that blends well with your Stash, you could add even more shades to the ombré!

I enjoy the quest for the perfect ombre colors, but you know I get a little excited about nail projects. That said, I'd never judge a pal who didn't have the time (or patience) to sleuth about for the perfect shades and opted for one of these kits instead.

A genius idea, THE NEW BLACK. Well played...
