OMBRE me somethin'

Kay So, Ive been seeing OMBRE everywhere. Ombre hair, Ombre shorts, Ombre nails, Ombre backpacks & just Ombre everything. Well I decided to do an Ombre necklace from a piece of jewelry I already had in my box. I bought this necklace at Forever 21 a while back.


Its original colors were gold at the top, going down into a bronze and then to a silver. BUT if you are a forever 21 jewelry shopper you know what happens after a while, it either fades or breaks. I decided to do a white fading down to a dark blue then ending it with a turquoise color. Here's the Process...



What you will need:
1.NewsPaper
2.Paint (i used nail polish)
3.Makeup Sponge (or in my case i used a Mr.Clean white eraser)
4.Tape
5.Necklace (it doesn't have to be like mine, just an old necklace that you want to make awesome again)

Uno: Tape your necklace to your news paper to prevent it from sliding everywhere. 
Dos:Get you sponge and brush your white paint onto it. 
 Tres: Dab your white paint onto the top of your necklace.
 Cuatro: You will want to repeat this until its opaque enough to clearly see.
Cinco: Under the white you want to do the darker blue. Same process as the white.

Last: Repeat the same process as we did with the white and blue but this time with the turquoise. 
 Now you have to blend the colors together to get the ombre effect, so what i did was went over it again and brushed down in full strokes. This made the white blend in with blue and the blue blend with the turquoise.
&& TADDAAAA*

I left some of the bronzy color in there to give more old effect. i like though... what you think?


Now you have yourself a nice Ombre necklace:)
Its so Easy to take something thats out of style and make it into something in style.
