Like ombre hair, which made its debut a few years ago, ombre nails are a hot trend that is here to stay. The beauty of this technique is that it can be applied to any color palette you choose and offers endless possibilities for creativity.

The ombre manicure can be created with either gel or nail polish. The process of creating the look begins with applying a thin layer of one-step gel to your natural nails, then adding the lightest shade of your choice. Once the nails have dried, add the next darker shade and continue to stipple them together until they fade into each other. Once you have reached your desired ombre look, apply the finishing gel and curing again.
This is the best method to achieve a beautiful and smooth ombre effect. You can use a makeup sponge or a nail art brush to create the look. A makeup sponge is preferred because it allows you to work fast, as the nail polish dries quickly. You can also choose to use a gradient brush, which is designed specifically for creating an ombre look on gel or acrylic nails.
The ombre nail can be worn with any length of nails, and it looks especially good on natural nails when combined with a glitter accent or rhinestones. The ombre effect can be subtle or dramatic depending on the colors you use. Try a pink and white look for a soft and classic look or go bold with a blue and purple ombre, which is perfect for weddings or romantic occasions…
