Ombre nails are a sassy twist on the traditional manicure. In contrast to the classic French or American manicure, ombre nails have a gradient color scheme that ranges from light to dark, with the darkest shade at the bottom of your nails. The design is also referred to as graduated or shading and is a fairly simple look to create at home.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

You will need three colors of nail polish in order from lightest to darkest in your chosen palette, a topcoat, and a piece of paper or cardboard for blotting the brush. You may want to use a base coat as well if you do not want your natural nail color peeking through. A base coat will also help protect your nails from staining with some of the darker colors. Additionally, you will need cotton pads, rubbing alcohol, and cuticle oil if you plan on prepping your nails with our professional grade treatments.

You can choose almost any colors to create ombre or a gradient manicure. The most popular and classic combination is blue to white.

Ombre nails are all the rage right now, but some of us aren’t satisfied with a straight-up pink ombre. We want to wear our ombre on the bolder side, with colors like black and blue or purple and green.

If you’re looking for a way to get that same trendy ombre look with a twist, look no further than this step-by-step guide.

Step 1 – Prep your nails

Start by prepping your nails with a base coat and two coats of white polish. Let them dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 2 – Paint each nail a different color

Use either tape or a nail art brush to paint each nail a different color of the rainbow. Start at the top of your nails with red and work your way down through orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Make sure each color touches the previous one so they blend together seamlessly.

Step 3 – Add glitter accent nail

Paint one accent nail with glitter polish in any color you’d like. You can do one nail on each hand or both on one hand—it’s up to you!

Step 1: Gather your supplies. You’ll need two polishes in coordinating colors, a piece of plastic wrap, a small cup of water, a makeup sponge and a quick-dry top coat.

Step 2: Place a drop of each polish in the water. Use different colors to create an ombre effect.

Step 3: Take the makeup sponge and dip it into the polish mixture and then press it onto your nail. Make sure to do this step quickly so everything stays wet.

Step 4: Repeat with other nails. Let dry and apply top coat!
