Trend to Try: Ombre Nails

I've been thinking about ombre nails for a while but have yet to try until I saw Lauren Conrad rocking them from a red to pink gradation of color.  I thought her manicure looked so cute, especially paired with her floral frock, so I attempted to try out this new nail trend myself!

I decided to go with a purple to lilac gradation of color since I already had a few colors stashed in my nail polish collection that I had yet to try.  Here are the colors I chose (from left to right:  2 Ulta3 Colors; OPI "Do You Lilac Me"; Essie "Lilacism"; and Essie "Main Squeeze").

And this is the result I achieved.  The hardest part is finding the best colors that will give a soft gradation on the color wheel rather than one that is harsh or jumpy.  Nail polishes also have a tendency to look different in the bottle than they do on your nails, so you may want to test them before buying/painting.  Bottom line, ombre nails are a fun trend to try, and look especially cute when paired with a a coordinating outfit, such as Lauren Conrad did.  What are your thoughts on the ombre nail trend?  Is this something you would want to try?
