Glamorous Ombre Nails for a Perfect Gradient Nail Look

If you’ve ever wanted to have more than one color in your manicure, ombre nails are the answer. We love the versatility of ombre nails because you are only limited by your imagination. Keep them simple and have gradual color gradient nails or go all in with nail rhinestones and glitter for the ultra glamorous and sparkly ombre nail design.

Opt for a bright color combination for go-to summer ombre nails or why not make statement nails with glitter ombre nails? Keep things subtle and elegant with an updated French nail look with a pretty pink ombre nail design. Whether you like your nails to sport a vibrant shade, prefer pastel colors or lean more towards nude polish, ombre nails open up a variety of options for you.

If you’re a keen DIY nail artist, all you’ll need are your choices of nail polish, sponge (we like to use a makeup sponge) and a trusty top coat (glossy or matte) to complete the look. Skip the makeup sponge if you’re choosing to have glitter ombre nails and just use the brush from the nail polish bottle. Definitely make sure you have a thick glossy top coat to help you create a smooth finish.
