[@tara-at-subukan]

is it okay to use jelly nail gel?

[@MissJosNailCo]

It is! It will be a more sheer result, but you can definitely ombre with jellies!

[@jer846]

I thinks it’s rude I can only “like” your video once...... there’s more than one nail... I should get to “like” it five times!!! So so cute. I get so excited when I see you put a new video up!!!!

I use the ombre brush normally. I gotta try the detail brush to see if that works better. Omg!! Hubby was in my nail room while I was listening to you, and he asks is she smoking a joint (you were giving nail colour names lol 😆) I said she's naming colours of polish. He shakes his head and says we nail girls are all weirdos 🤣🤣🤣

[@linnails_81]

I struggle so much with ombre nails, I normally use an ombre brush, I think I might try the detail brush it looks like you get such an even blend with it. Your right, you can never have too many videos on any given subject, especially when there are those of us struggling, it really helps! Thanks for another wonderful video 😍

[@MissJosNailCo]

Definitely worth trying different things if a certain one isn't working. Like the pull down one with ombré brush, I'm just never going to be able to do it in less than 20 mins 🤣🤣 So I go another way! Thank you for watching! 🥰

[@jaclynscott9833]

[@JenniferNyC]

hiya jo! so sorry i am late on the nail game and i wanted to thankyou for all your time and sharing with us. So i have to ask can or how can i create the ombre effect you showed with NON Gel Polishes? is there and deep dark trick?

[@RomanaComelyOfficial]

Hi Jo, it's necessary to cover client's skin with this technique? I mean the purple ombre, the first one, with the detailer:) Thank you!

[@MissJosNailCo]

I do this often on clients and don't get it on the skin; I think your brain automatically knows not to swipe a mile each way! But if you do get some on it, just wipe off with a lint free wipe with some prep/cleanse solution on before curing. As long as it doesn't cure or sit on the skin for long, it's fine! * there is a section in my Nails 101 video where I show a clip of doing it on a person.

[@elainelemaynailartisteduca6601]

I use thé ombre brush and for me it Workopolis perfect but i will try it your way

[@charlottelewis5114]

I've only attempted ombre once and it was such a pain, just kept taking the product off, not actually blending it 🤦‍♀️ must try again!

[@MissJosNailCo]

Try putting a little more product on to start with, and don't go deep into the products when you swipe back and forward on the second coat. Definitely worth trying again as it will eventually click!

[@JaneyJaney1967]

Miss Josif! I’ve been waiting for you ❤️🤗 They’re all beautiful, I love ombré. I use the ombré brush horizontal and vertical but with the vertical I use a dotting tool to kind of squiggle down the middle first. And yes, you’re practically perfect in every way 🥰

[@vapinggaming]

Look forward to trying the swiping back and forth technique because the result looks great. But.... You did it on unattached nails. I can only imagine how messy it would be with skin being in the way. The brush would catch on skin as you swiped. But hey- won't know if it's worth it until I try lol.

[@MissJosNailCo]

This is how I do it on people, too! It doesn't get messy - you just have to be aware not swipe a mile each way. I have a video of it being done on a person, will try and dig it out.

[@samjennings1972]

I use an ombre brush but coat the bristles in base coat or blooming gel first x

[@MissJosNailCo]

Iiiiiiiiinteresting, I quite like the sound of that; give it a little spreadability (that's not a word) 😆

[@samanthaoutten7240]

I like that idea. I always struggle with brush marks. Maybe the gel I am using is not great 😌 or maybe I’m just not that good at ombré 😆

[@MissJosNailCo]

@Samantha Outten Try using a little more product than usual (I mean, not gallons 😆) as this will mean you can be a lot lighter with your brush so you don't have to 'poke' right into the product, and you'll get less brush strokes. Also leave it for 30s-1min before curing, for the gel to level out.

[@samanthaoutten7240]

@@MissJosNailCo thanks, I will try that 💖

[@fireopal4534]

I use Bluesky gel polish and it is crap, you need 4 layers of the peach and other light colours. I know you stated they have closed down your store you bought from. Any other suggestions that has good 1 coat coverage.

[@MissJosNailCo]

Peach and lighter colours are often tricky to deal with as they will show shadows wherever a nail is uneven. I use Madam Glam now and it is amazing. Best brand I've used by far.

[@brigettelillian]

I’m with you Joe. I can’t stand that side to side hombre brush blending technique either but ironically enough just today I was doing that exact technique on a client and I fanned my hombre brush bristles out so they Weren’t so tight and close together and it made a huge difference.

[@MissJosNailCo]

Ah that's good! I don't mind it on display tips, but always use my detail brush on clients 😆

[@ameliafouche9297]

I gave this a try with the detail brush and mine looked like crap. So i tried it with an eyeshadow applicator just blotching it on and that works better for me. But I will keep practicing until I get it

[@MissJosNailCo]

I filmed the eyeshadow applicator way! Mine looked PAP! It's definitely different strokes for different folks! You will find a way that you are happy with!

[@jodes4485]

is there a reason you wouldn't want to use the "good" vertical technique for a horizontal ombre? It just seems so much easier!

[@MissJosNailCo]

The vertical being the long left to right one, or the top to bottom one? I call them based on the way I move my brush, but the ombré is actually going to other way 😆 I wouldn't use the detail brush to do the left to right ombré as the bottle brush does it in a few strokes, and I wouldn't use the bottle brush to do the top to bottom as you'd have to hold it sideways and it would be too wide on the nail bed and take up too much of the top and bottom colour space. Hope that makes sense! 🤔🤔

[@laurier893]

Love the real time, what would be super cool is to see it in slooow motion to see just how flat the brush gets when “faffing” I may be the only idiot who starts to ombré and gets so nervous its like I end up not even touching the nail, and then going so close it takes it all off 🙄. I know it takes practice but I’m a visual person! Not sounding to haterish am I?? Not trying to!❤️❤️. Plus it would make your videos last longer, how bad could that be!!

[@laurier893]

And can I say how perfect all the friends references are!!

[@MissJosNailCo]

Ooh why didn't I do a slow-mo?! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Next time I do an ombré I will do a slow action replay! 😆 I feel like I thought about it when editing, but it obviously fell out of my head as quick as it entered! Next time 👍. Got to love a Friends gif! No hate felt! 🤣

[@katebowes1]

I don’t no why I just can’t do it it’s so frustrating, it doesn’t blend and the main thing is the brush strokes I can’t get rid of them, I’ll keep trying 😅 love love love your channel btw your awesome xxx

[@MissJosNailCo]

Thank you so much! 💓 Ombré does take some getting used to. Try with a bit more product at first, and on the second coat, try to do your swipes without too much pressure on the nail, so you're almost just swiping inside the polish...does that make sense?!

I'm fairly new to gel polish so I haven't even attempted an ombre with gel yet but I'm already planning my Pride mani (I get really into Pride manis) and I already know I'm going to attempt a vertical ombre on every finger. I'll be using jelly polishes so maybe that'll be easier? 🤷‍♀️ I was really into regular polish for a good while though so I can do a sponged ombre with my eyes shut lol. Glad you mentioned a black to white ombre. I'd love to learn how to do that one. I feel like that would be its own video though. Loved your little pro-women rant on IG today btw! We'd be such good friends irl 😄😄 (yes, I'm aware that was sorta stalker-ey, but 🤷‍♀️) Love from Kentucky!

Ooh I can't wait to do pride nails!

[@andreahoyte6522]

[@chellewilson675]

Ha! There you are. I love your detail brush technique the BEST when using gel polish for sure. I never really see anyone else doing it that way but it makes the most sense to me. I takes way less product and effort I find. I like to sponge with regular nail polish but for gel I find the detail brush technique suits me best. By the way, I am from Texas and hear all of you guys across the pond saying "FAFF" . What the hell does it mean? Probably what I think it does, huh.

[@MissJosNailCo]

Totally agree! I never saw the technique but just tried it one day and it was like 'omg I can ombré!!!' 🤣🤣 Hehe, faff just means spending time in ineffectual activity. But is used for a bunch of things, like 'ugh that was such a faff', meaning it was a palaver. Or, 'I'm getting in a bit of a faff', meaning getting a bit het up. 🤣🤣

[@MissJosNailCo]

Yep. Don't cure until you've blended two colours together, then cure and repeat 😊.

Hi this looks really well explained and you also have other great nail art tutorials on your channel from just scrolling through. Is it difficult to do these ombres using darker colours such as black to blue or black to red/green etc? I'd love my local salon to be able to do this but they have said it's not that easy with darker designs and I currently have a natural to white ombre just using acrylic powder that came out nice but would like to maybe try darker in future as I'm a male and go to some rock concerts and stuff

[@MissJosNailCo]

Hiya, thank you! Yes this can be done with darker colours. Black is always going to be the trickiest, but it's totally do-able! Colours that naturally blend better are easier, like green-blue, yellow-orange etc. If you want black into a another colour, they'll want to do ⅓ black at the top, and ⅔ the other colour as the black will quickly drown out the other colour. Ooh, or...have black as the bottom colour, that would be easier. 🤘

@@MissJosNailCo Yes I was looking for black bottom, navy or dark blue middle and a bright blue tip and I was told it would be too challenging or not possible with gels or powders but I think it is however maybe too time consuming. I had booked a larger slot with nail art but probably wouldn't have looked for much nail art at all with that idea. My first thoughts when I booked was pinky with clouds or things like that and that's what I ended with but was more of a backup plan on the day. I need to check if they have jelly polishes also. They have a huge spectrum of colours but I feel like a lot are just solid

[@MissJosNailCo]

If you're going to a 'nail bar' where they get you in and out as quickly as possible, and everything from a shape change to a single polkadot is an extra 10 quid, then they're probably not the place to go for time consuming nail art. When I said 'bottom' I meant tip, I think that's a tech thing as it's the bottom the way I look at it 😆. Personally I think that combo sounds totally do-able, even if it did take a while. If they have pigments, it could be done with those a lot quicker. It all depends on the tech I think, and their experience/confidence. If someone had asked me to do that when I hadn't done it before, I would practice it before they came. There are lots of ways to ombré so (in my opinion) they should try to do it for you 😬. Have you tried cateye gels? Over black nails you can get some really awesome effects that colour shift, and they're just a coat of polish with a magnet used on it, so super easy!

[@Stallzyx]

@@MissJosNailCo Yeah I don't really do my own nails so much. I have just started practicing with regular polish a bit on my short nails but have some acrylics that go just a bit past my finger tip at the moment. Can still type up to 100wpm or 120 on some extracts on typeracer where the last set had index fingers a bit too long. But maybe I will eventually pick up the gel tools and stuff because it would be cool to learn. I am pretty sure my salon won't do cat eye polishes but they do look pretty cool however do require even more advance practice as oppose to ombre or other artwhich you may be able to make work on the day Do you have any concerns about UV exposure or do you work a lot on just nail forms without being on hand? Thanks

[@MissJosNailCo]

I find regular polish harder to work with, but maybe that's because I've always used gel. Cateye requires zero practice, just apply the gel and then move a magnet around until you like the look of it - and it's mesmerising to do! The whole UV exposure from lamps thing is a complete bunch of nonsense. It's the equivalent of being outside for about 3 minutes extra a day, and not even a sunny day, just a regular day. The fingertip-less gloves that you can get make no sense, because if any part of the hand was going to be affected by the UV, the fingertips are the most sensitive. Don't worry about the lamp at all, it's just companies trying to sell things to solve a problem that doesn't exist! Learning to use gel is super fun, and if you mess up then you can just wipe and try again!

[@Tri_AgainProject]

I did ombre for the first time & used a small fan brush, wiggling it. It worked ok but I think I'll try your speed swiping method next.

[@MissJosNailCo]

Speed swiping 😆😆 Love it!

[@NocturnalNuggets]

Thanks for all the knowledge, lefty!

I struggle with the 3rd technique too. 😬 I haven’t tried the first two but I’m definitely going to. thanks for the video ❤️👍🏾

Ugh isn't it such a ball ache! 😆 The first two are the easiest I have found! Good luck with it 🥰

Do you ship to Canada?

[@MissJosNailCo]

Hi, I am not Diamond Glitters, but they do ship to Canada. Postage is bonkers so it's worth getting a bunch of stuff! Or use something like parcel motel.
