Omg, this is my first time watching your videos and I really loved it! Thanks for this great tip. I'm going to do my nails on my own for the first time tomorrow and this video will 100% come in handy!
You don't need those fancy (and *expensive!*) spherical sponges. You can do the same thing with a cheap cosmetic wedge that you can get 10 or 20 for a dollar at any dollar or discount store. I suppose they are one pound stores where you live, though.
calichef1962 I’ve used the wedge sponges and I always have an issue with the little pieces of the sponge getting on the nails. Like, since the gel is so sticky, it rips little pieces of the sponge and is annoying to try to get off.
I am so glad that I am not the only one who is a spaz with the ombre brushes, it just doesn't happen for me. This method is so nice, thank you, thank you
I just found you on RUclips and I absolutely LOVE your voice overs!! So fun and funny. Just wanted you to know that I've enjoyed watching your videos!!

Me too!!! Ive been practising with gel and acrylics.... my acrylics are about 6 inches thick before i end up throwing it at the wall and grabbing a large g&t!.... the struggle was real.... but no more!! Mwah xx
This does look amazingly easy! Only downside I can see is for ladies like me who don't use the long artificial nails, but rather have medium to long natural nails, and that downside is that it will definitely require the peelable latex on the skin around the nail, or you'll have a real mess to clean up. But this is definitely something to try, since I'm NUTS for the ombre effect, and have all the necessary materials (peelable latex, those small sponges, and a palette on which to smudge the color around). I've had fair to middling success with the ombre brushes, but find them unwieldy, since the long strands tend to glop up with color. This method here looks easy enough to make it worth the extra step of the latex around the nail. Also, any thoughts -- from anyone who might be reading this! -- on the fat "oblique french" to create the ombre effect? I've tried it once, and it was easier than the wispy ombre brushes. May I suggest a video on the use of that brush? I've searched thoroughly for videos or even pics of the use of those fat oblique brushes, and have found VERY little.
I’ve not heard of gel paste before, can you just use normal gel colour on the sponge or does it have to be a paste? Just purchased some of these sponges so looking forward to having a play. Your video was really good x
Gorgeous ombre I have been after this for quite a while but it's so expensive I can't do gel ombre either with the brush method it ain't happening so may have to invest in this kit xx
Daniel Boss I don’t think the items are expensive individually. I would just recommend buying the bits you need instead of the whole kits hun. I buy their detail brushes for just over £4 each. Xx
Wow that looks super easy. I wonder how easy it would be to do it on your non dominant hand. I love baby boomer/ombré but I do my own hard gel nails (only acrylic techs in my town) and I’m too scared to try it Incase I muck it up. Thanks for sharing 🌸🐨🌸
It's just nail polish. It comes off easily enough. If you don't like the results you're getting just wipe it away before curing. If it's cured and you don't like it, use your regular method to remove it, soaking or filing off. Yeah, you might need another coat of top coat, but so what? It's not a big deal. It's just nail polish.
Will this work for shorter natural nails? My nais are not short, but not nearly as long as these tips. I worry about it getting all over my skin with the sponge.
Hi. So I tried this today for the first time, because my acrylic ombre was a fail. However, this was a fail for me too. It looks ok, but if you look closely, you can see the porous sponge effect. Do you think it's because I need a thicker white gel or do I need to do more coats? TIA 😊 I wish I could include a photo to show you what I mean.
It looks fab my dear... I have sooooooo many dabbers and inks, guilding flakes and glitters, sequins,mini stampers, lace ribbons, etc etc in my mahwhosive craft cupboard, I can see myself disappearing into said craft cupboard to see what other magikal bits n pieces I can find..... wish me luck I may be sometime, and send in a search party if you haven't heard from me by tuesday.......🤪..... Have a wonderful day my lovely... 🌟💛🌈💛🌟
@@NailsbySarahBurchett yep that sounds like me...😂... except I have a walking stick, which is just like nanny mCfees... Glitter makes it's way everywhere, even when I haven't been near it for ages... I had blood tests done yesterday and I'm with the nurse I turned to my husband only to see 3 bits of gold glitter on his cheek... he looked bedazzled bless him...🌟 I stupidly was telling him about your competition on fb and I hadn't even finished the first sentence and his eyes glazed over...😳... Have a great day my lovely...🌟💛🌟
Where do you get the sponges hunni plus awesome stuff plus thanks again for checking my pics out on ig yesterday hunni thanks again I always put myself down but I surprise my self sometimes lol xx
Ye I just tried makes up sponge and it didn’t work. 🤣 I was so excited ... anyway I ordered those sponges on eBay some cheap ones . I’m going to use one for black and another for white as I don’t think I can wash with water easily
I tried ordering but for some reason I couldn’t. I waited for someone to contact me by emailing me that’s what they say. Haven’t heard back. I really want to try this brand. Can you tell me where I can get it?
Throw what away hun? if you mean the tips then no, I usually keep all my recent ones, I did have a load of very old ones, but I threw them away recently because I didn't like them any more lol
@sandee barnes I clean the sponges by dabbing in alcohol, and then dabbing on a paper towel until nothing more comes off. The sponge might still have some color, but they work just fine afterwards. I use them until they fall apart.
Yes!!!!! Ur a freaking genius I think you just saved my not started yet career
hahaha! Thank you xx
wow. now look how far you are😍
This helped me so much. I started doing my own nails but ombre always scare me. This seems so easy. Thank you.
You are a freaken life saver!!!!!! I’ve being scared of Ombré for so long and never works! This is perfect and brilliant thank you!!!!
Glad I could help!
This looks like something I could actually do …exited! Doing it this weekend! Thanks!
Have fun!
Omg, this is my first time watching your videos and I really loved it! Thanks for this great tip. I'm going to do my nails on my own for the first time tomorrow and this video will 100% come in handy!

These weren't expensive though. I have tried other sponges and couldn't get it as good.
calichef1962 I’ve used the wedge sponges and I always have an issue with the little pieces of the sponge getting on the nails. Like, since the gel is so sticky, it rips little pieces of the sponge and is annoying to try to get off.
Makeup sponges suck to use
Wow am speechless i can't wait to go try it out
Do I wash is off after ?
Oh interesting! I got some gel polish for stamping, wonder if it works similarly! I’m gonna try it! Thanks!
worth a try hun x
This is stellar, my darling! In fact, dare I say, I think it even looks slightly BETTER and more seamless than a usual ombre fade.
Thank you so much xx
Just from the intro I knew I would LOVE your personality and I do not regret watching your video! This was super helpful thanks so much! 🫶
Totally love it. I am just getting into gel polish. I am a dip girl but flipping to gel
Thank you so much! I’ve always wondered how to do ombré nails so I decided to yt it now I know!! I can’t wait to do Christmas ombré nails!!
You are so welcome!
I am so glad that I am not the only one who is a spaz with the ombre brushes, it just doesn't happen for me. This method is so nice, thank you, thank you
You are so welcome!
I just found you on RUclips and I absolutely LOVE your voice overs!! So fun and funny. Just wanted you to know that I've enjoyed watching your videos!!
aw Thank you so so much!!! welcome to the family xx
When you said I’m on 10K I was like you’re on 16K but I’m definitely subscribing!! You’re a Joy❤️
Thanks for subbing!
That's so pretty...
Thank you x
I can't do the brush either !!! I just do my nails at home on myself! So this is so helpful !
You are a genius!!!! I am so trying this! THANK YOU!
You are so welcome!
Just ordered my aeropuffing kit yesterday, so excited cause hombres are my nemesis! Thank u!
mine too! I have had a few people ask for gel ombre and I was like nooooooo but now I can say yeeesssssss
Omg.... you are so right this is amazing you just saved me so much time when marking my press on nails for my website🥰 thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This makes so much sense. I used to paint clouds in the sky with a sponge (on canvas). You can’t get any better than clouds, whispy, soft.
This is a great tutorial but also you are so funny you deserve way more than 10k!! Good luck getting there!
haha I am slightly weird, but I love to make people laugh xx

No problem 😊
Game changer right there 😍 thanks for sharing xx
Thank you so much xx
lovely ..nails
Thanks for this video
No problem
Great video do you wipe off the sticky layer on the painted nail before you start the ombre thanks
no I left it xx
cant wait to try this
I’ve not heard of gel paste before, can you just use normal gel colour on the sponge or does it have to be a paste? Just purchased some of these sponges so looking forward to having a play. Your video was really good x
I have seen people do it with polish too, it just isn't as pigmented, but still works xx
I love it. Might have to get some
Thank you xx
You’re so fun and such a great tutorial, followed just from the energy alone!
Very pretty 💕
Thank you xx
Gorgeous ombre I have been after this for quite a while but it's so expensive I can't do gel ombre either with the brush method it ain't happening so may have to invest in this kit xx
Daniel Boss I don’t think the items are expensive individually. I would just recommend buying the bits you need instead of the whole kits hun. I buy their detail brushes for just over £4 each. Xx
Those double end sponges are super cheap and I've seen it done with stamping gel/polish or acrylic paint too 🙂
Crystal Nails sells gel paints in a tube.
I needed this
What kinda Polish you suggest for the ombré at the tip?
Wow that looks super easy. I wonder how easy it would be to do it on your non dominant hand. I love baby boomer/ombré but I do my own hard gel nails (only acrylic techs in my town) and I’m too scared to try it Incase I muck it up. Thanks for sharing 🌸🐨🌸

I have messed up my nails hundreds of times while trying new things hun, don't worry, just go for it xx
Can we do with the same process using the normal nail paint🤔??
I dont know hun
@@NailsbySarahBurchett thank you for the reply ❤️
Can you use normal gel polish with the sponge instead of gel paint?
You may have to do more layers, depending on the pigmentation. xx
How long should i cure it between each step - 30 seconds or 60 seconds ?
Hi. What is the link to order the kit from please xx
I'm the same way, I have 2 "ombré" brushes and either one helps me get as good an ombré or baby boomer as a sponge does
yup I am converted for sure xx
I use refuse to do it with gel as well I have been trying to get it down
Where can I find this white color sara please ?
I am not sure anymore as this video was made a few years ago xx
I have one of those sponge thingies n I luv it... I just wonder if my born pretty stamping gel would work the same?
You can purchase gel paint in a tube from Crystal Nails which works great, in case the born pretty stuff doesn't work for you.
shihtzuluvr two thanks 😉
This product has mma as the first ingredient so i would be careful when using this on me or others!
Are this sponge reusable?.. Can you wash em with spirit??
I think it degrades the sponges xx
Will this work for shorter natural nails? My nais are not short, but not nearly as long as these tips. I worry about it getting all over my skin with the sponge.
Just use a peel off product around the skin to protect it, like a peel off base coat or some companies market it as a protective brush on product. :)
Could you use a beauty blender for the same method?
possibly, I haven't tried it. I guess it would work if the density of the blender was right and it was nice and soft.
Hi. So I tried this today for the first time, because my acrylic ombre was a fail. However, this was a fail for me too. It looks ok, but if you look closely, you can see the porous sponge effect.

J9 Collins it might just need extra layers blending. It’s definitely a skill in itself and honestly I hardly ever do it! Lol
@@NailsbySarahBurchett thank you 😉
It looks fab my dear...
I have sooooooo many dabbers and inks, guilding flakes and glitters, sequins,mini stampers, lace ribbons, etc etc in my mahwhosive craft cupboard, I can see myself disappearing into said craft cupboard to see what other magikal bits n pieces I can find..... wish me luck I may be sometime, and send in a search party if you haven't heard from me by tuesday.......🤪.....

I have this image of you appearing with glitter all hanging out of your hair, like a bedraggled lady of the shiny stuff forest hahaha
@@NailsbySarahBurchett yep that sounds like me...😂... except I have a walking stick, which is just like nanny mCfees...

What are you cleaning the sponges with?
I don’t clean them after use. They have to be disposed of. X
@@NailsbySarahBurchett thank you x
Where do you get the sponges hunni plus awesome stuff plus thanks again for checking my pics out on ig yesterday hunni thanks again I always put myself down but I surprise my self sometimes lol xx
Anywhere that sells nail art supplies. I've seen them on eBay, Amazon, AliExpress etc
ah you're so welcome huni xx
The white is gel polish?
where can I fine one of those
Thank you!!!☺️
Beautiful tfs 💜💖💜
Thank you xx
How you clean the sponge
Can i use this stick and doit with regular gel polish and not that paint stick you used?
Where did you buy that stick please
I have a similar sponge tool (although haven't tried it yet) - it there a way of cleaning after use?
Not that I know of hun x
This is awesome! When i try to do this method with this same method same round smonge that u have i get bobbles on the nails idk y 😩
Beauty By Suzy try topcoating, then lightly buff, then topcoat. That might get rid of the bumps xx
When you get those little bubbles tap them lightly with the end of the sponge and they go away
Would this work with red and black gel polish?
yes, you just need to build it up gradually xx
Where do you get the paste paint
I don't have that brand anymore, but you can use gel pain which I get from Madamglam. I have a 30% off code sarahb30 if you want to try them out. x
Ye I just tried makes up sponge and it didn’t work. 🤣 I was so excited ... anyway I ordered those sponges on eBay some cheap ones . I’m going to use one for black and another for white as I don’t think I can wash with water easily
yeah they are not really re-usable, so its best to have plenty of them xx
Awesome to know. 💜
Thank you xx
does this leave little small circles like with normal nail polish?
I didn't notice any, but if you ever get that, the top coat will cover it. It is probably due to the type of sponge not being dense enough
oh okay, thanks❤❤❤
Thanks for the video 😍🌺💅
Thank you xx
How do you clean the sponges afterwards?
They have to be disposed of hun x
I can't do ombres and baby boomers with gel polishes either. I've tried and tried. However, I DO have pigments! So much easier.😊
ah yeah good idea!
Hi!! Sucks that I just found this comment have you figured out how to do it with gel polish yet? If not I have a tip for you.
I heard “yaas” at 4:49 and I hit subscribe
haha yaaaaaaasssssss
"let me 👹show you👹" lmao 😂❤
thats cool
Thank you xx
I tried ordering but for some reason I couldn’t. I waited for someone to contact me by emailing me that’s what they say. Haven’t heard back. I really want to try this brand. Can you tell me where I can get it?
This is such an old video of mine hun, I don't have any contact with the brand i'm afraid. x
What's that kit called?
Where can you buy this in the USA?
I don't know hun, I'm sorry, this was sent to me a long time ago xx
does it have to be a gel paint or can it be a gel polish?
It depends on how pigmented the gel is. If it is a very pigmented gel polish, it will work, but gel paints are more intensely pigmented xx
Nails by Sarah Burchett thank you!
Could i get a feedback. Bubbles starting to form when i use a sponge at the local drug store. Is it because the sponge ?
Tlh_ Ynh yes it could be. Make sure the sponge is very dense. I think you could get something from amazon maybe?
Lol. Hate those brushes too. Nice video.
Thank you xx
This is how I have mastered ombré as well. I cannot use brushes.
I have done it with a madam glam ombre brush, but its a lot of blending work lol
What is the sponge tool called
It depends on the company, but some call them blending tools
What brush is that?
Sponge*
you can get them on amazon xx
@@NailsbySarahBurchett got it thank you
Ali express does not deliver to US
Ohhhh lala!
genius
works a treat :)
Do you just throw those away when your done
Throw what away hun? if you mean the tips then no, I usually keep all my recent ones, I did have a load of very old ones, but I threw them away recently because I didn't like them any more lol
@@NailsbySarahBurchett the sponge thingy
@sandee barnes
I clean the sponges by dabbing in alcohol, and then dabbing on a paper towel until nothing more comes off. The sponge might still have some color, but they work just fine afterwards. I use them until they fall apart.
What’s the products called ?
Aeropuff :)
It’s $165 in their website before taxes! Ummm thank u, next!
Please notify me when there’s a more affordable option 🥺😢
Hellen Velásquez omg that’s crazy expensive. Go to Ali express or born pretty 😘
Tappy Tappy tap😂😂😂❤❤❤
hahahah I still say that now and this video is YEARS old lol
💕💕💕
I did this and my sponge started coming apart. I was so upset. 😭
That's strange, maybe try a different type of sponge?
