Ombre nails

When you can’t decide on just one nail color, that’s where ombre nails come in. We’re all familiar with ombre hair styles, as they’ve likely been at the top of our hair-inspo lists at one point in our life. Now, ombre nails will quickly become your latest beauty obsession. Ombre nails are a seamless gradient between two nail colors. A darker color at the base of your nail will gradually transition to a lighter color at your nail tip, resulting in a very sleek multicolor finish. For nail lovers who are looking for a more modern take on the classic french manicure, this new nail trend will soon become your favorite. Ombre nails are a must have for daily wear, as this trendy nail style is an effortless way to enhance your look. With their use of more than one color, ombre nails are much more tasteful and chic than just your plain monotone manicure. Plus, there are so many ombre styles for you to try out. You can keep it casual with some more classic ombre styles or incorporate some designs and accents to make a beauty statement with your nails.

Let’s be honest, we all love flaunting the newest beauty trends, and ombre nails are the hottest trend on the beauty scene right now. 

Ombre nail gradients can be a mix of two primary colors or they can be blended with white. Pink-to-white ombre nails are one of the hottest trends right now because they are effortlessly stylish and will never let you down. Also referred to as french ombre or baby boomer nails, these ombre nails are inspired by the style and colors of an old-fashioned french manicure. With this style, a light pink base color will fade to white at the tips. The result is a very natural and feminine manicure that is perfect for everyday wear. While a traditional french manicure has a sharp contrast between the tip and base color, baby boomer nails blend the two colors with a soft, subtle ombre. Thus, french manicure lovers can try out one of the biggest beauty trends at the moment while also staying true to one of their favorite styles. It truly is the best of both worlds.

 If you’re looking for a more natural everyday look, lighter color nails may be more your style. Muted pastel colors, such as pink and purple, are super fun, flirty, and they can be worn for any occasion. Also, it is no surprise that pink is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand nail colors of the year. Afterall, who doesn’t love hot pink manicures? Pink ombre nails will not be declining in popularity any time soon, as they regularly top the list of beauty experts’ favorite nail styles. If you’re not a fan of pastels, and you’re looking for more timeless ombre nails, white ombre nails are quickly ascending in popularity. Crisp white nails are super chic and sophisticated, so adding a subtle ombre finish is a great way to create a more natural look. Plus, white pairs well with other neutrals, such as gray or nude, and more soft colors, such as sky blue. So whether you're interested in pursuing a more colorful ombre or a neutral toned manicure, white ombre nails are one of the must-haves when it comes to ombre nails. There are also so many options to choose from when it comes to darker ombre nails. Typically, dark ombre nails will blend a rich color, such as deep red or purple, with black. The result is an edgier ombre manicure that will catch everyone's eye. While lighter ombre styles are better for blending in, darker ombre nails will always stand out. 

Fans of eye catching nail styles will also love warmer colored ombre nails. Red and orange ombre nails are making their mark in the beauty world. A bold ombre look is the perfect way to add a splash of color to your life, and it’s guaranteed to turn heads. Don’t we all feel more confident with a bold red lip color? The same applies to nails. As with any manicure, incorporating more saturated tones is a sure way to add some flare to your look. Vibrant nail colors are the perfect beauty statement and can be used to draw attention to an ombre finish. What we love the most about ombre nails is all of the ways you can have fun with them. It’s important to remember that there are no rules in place when it comes to ombre nail styles; it’s completely up to you. That said, you can get creative by playing around with blending different colors on the spectrum. Ombre nails that blend a warm color with a cool color, such as pink with blue, will definitely stand out among other styles. To get to know what ombre style is best for you, it’s a good idea to try out some different options.

When we say that no two ombre manicures are alike, we are not lying. There are so many ways that you can make your ombre nails one-of-a-kind. Afterall, the length, shape, and finish of your ombre nails can change the overall style of the manicure. For all of the classic nail lovers out there, you cannot go wrong with ombre coffin nails. Coffin nails are simply a staple for every nail lover, and the defined coffin shape pairs very nicely with the blending colors. If you are a fan of lighter ombre nails and wanting to achieve a more natural looking manicure, oval or square nails will likely be your first choice, as these shapes best resemble your natural nail shape. For someone who is more interested in eye-catching ombre styles, going for a more daring shape- such as stiletto, is a great way to make your ombre nails stand out.

Also, it is important to recognize how ombre nails can be affected by the length of your nails. A more subtle gradient can best be achieved with longer nails, as you will have a larger canvas to work with. With shorter nail lengths, the transition between the two colors would be swifter. As with nail shapes, your nail length preferences may change depending on the ombre styles you are interested in. If you’re more into extravagant-colored ombre nails, it's likely that you won’t want to just play it safe with short nails. Just like a stiletto nail shape, long or extra-long ombre nails will surely command attention no matter what. 

A glossy finish on ombre nails can really help the colors pop and can increase the overall glamour of your manicure. Just like with french manicures, glossy is the most common finish for ombre nails due to its silky appearance. Plus, our natural nails typically have a semi-glossy finish, so this type of finish can work really well for people interested in a natural-looking manicure. However, there are more nontraditional finishes that are also favored for ombre nails. Matte and glitter are two examples of finishes that can easily make your ombre nails more one-of-a-kind. Matte nails are a trend that has been gaining momentum online, and for obvious reasons. If you are looking for an alternative to a glossy ombre manicure, look no further. Matte nails eschew the lustrous characteristics of glossy nails, while still maintaining an air-brushed appearance. Matte ombre nails generally are more captivating with darker colors. Plus, darker ombre nails with a matte finish stray from the classic french ombre style, thus making matte nails ideal for nail lovers who value having a unique manicure. 

Another finish option for ombre nails is glitter. Holographic-glitter nails are super trendy at the moment, and this type of finish has become more in-demand for ombre nails. Glitter nails have a sort of 3-D effect, and when this is paired with an ombre style, the contrasting colors really pop out. A glitter finish is also the most optimal when you are desiring a more eccentric ombre manicure. When compared to other finishes, glitter nails are much flashier and more difficult to ignore. While some people may prefer more refined, subdued ombre nails, others want ombre nails that are absolute showstoppers; and that is where a glitter finish comes in. 

If you’re looking for ombre nails that will make a scene, try to spice up your manicure with accent nails and designs. Accent nails are one of the hottest new nail trends, and it’s no wonder why. Nail accents and designs are one of the easiest tricks out there to take your manicure to the next level. Mixing and matching your ombre nails with accent nails can not only set your manicure apart, but it also gives you so many more ways to incorporate your personal style into your manicure. Glitter nails are at the top of the list for most popular accent nails. For people who are interested in spicing up their ombre nails by including glitter accents, it is a good idea to stick to your overall color scheme. If your ombre nails are blending two pastel colors, think about having a glitter nail in one of those colors. Adding one or two accent nails per hand will definitely elevate your ombre manicure and add in your own personal flare. 

Accent nails can also utilize more nail art and designs that can add a level of uniqueness to your manicure. Since ombre nails have a very subtle gradient, and are absent of sharp lines and contrasts, they won’t clash with more lively accent nails. Eccentric art and designs, such as florals and patterns, are popular choices for bold accent nails. With accent nails, it’s easy to add some glamour to your ombre nails. Jewels and embellishments are common with people who are desiring a more flashy manicure. For instance, if you’re wanting to try something new with your favorite style of pink ombre nails, adding lustrous jewels to a couple of nails will create an entirely new, revamped look. Plus, incorporating accent nails is a good strategy for dressing nails up for any occasion. You might be interested in sticking to the more polished white ombre nails during the day, but want to include holographic glitter accents for your girls night out- it’s all up to you. 

The idea of creating a flawless color transition on your nails may seem a little scary to you, but getting the perfect ombre manicure is much easier than you think. What’s our secret tip? Ditch the nail salon. Not only will nail salon acrylic damage your natural nails, but they do a lot of damage to your wallet too. Every nail lover should be able to get the ombre manicure of their dreams without breaking the bank. That’s why press-on nails are the best choice for getting cute ombre nails that are long-lasting, reusable, and affordable. Press-on nails will save you from all the time and money you spend at the nail salon, as with press-ons, you can have a flawless manicure in just 5-10 minutes. The application process for press-on nails is so simple too. You just apply a drop of glue to each of your natural nails and hold the fake nail down for 30 seconds. Another benefit of press-on nails? They can be worn for both short-term and long-term wear. Strong, non-damaging nail glue ensures your nails will stay on, but also keeps your natural nails protected from damage. Acrylic and gel nails are notorious for harming your natural nails, and if we’re being honest, getting cute ombre acrylic nails at the nail salon really isn’t worth permanently damaging your nails, especially when there is a much safer alternative. With press-on nails, you also get so many more options for ombre nails, as we offer ombre nail sets with different shapes, lengths, and finishes. Plus, you can easily switch out your press-on nails, so you have the ability to try new ombre styles as much as you want. Given that press-ons have the same look and feel as acrylics, but don’t require all of your time and money, it is no wonder why people are making the switch to press-on nails. With so many ombre press-on nails to choose from, you’ll be at the top of your manicure game in no time.
