Ombré nails, aka gradient nails, are one of the most sought-after designs among manicure lovers. If I had to guess, considering my 30 plus years of experience with nail design, I’d say that ombrés are such a hit because they look like art without being too flashy while keeping a sophisticated aesthetic. Does it make sense to you? I mean, once you look at someone with an ombré set you can tell that person cares about her manicure. So, in this post, I focused on gathering the most popular and pretty pink ombré nails because pink has been my favorite color lately. I just moved to a new house and I caught myself looking for everything pink: bedding, dinnerware, glassware… Therefore, I’m redirecting my pink obsession to nails.
You’ll find the best ombré nail ideas to save on your favorites year-round. I grouped the inspos according to the design as follows: GLITTER – ALL PINK – HOT/SUMMER – FRENCH TIPS – CHROME – WITH BLUE.
How to Nail the ombré/Gradient Design
There are two ways you can tackle the ombré/gradient look. The first is a subtle monochromatic scale using different shades of the same color, one on each finger. The second, and most classic way to ombré, is to use different colors to create the ombré (shade) effect on each nail.
I hope you enjoy them!
