Ombre nail ideas
Ombre nails fade from one color to another along the nail, from the cuticle to the tip. The soft pink to white fade, also called baby boomer, is a modern take on the French manicure.
Ombre also works with bright colors, glitter and chrome. Browse gradient designs from the Nailterest community and try any of them on.

Questions about ombre nails
What are baby boomer nails?
Baby boomer nails are a soft ombre from a sheer pink or nude base to white at the tip. They look like a blurred French manicure.
How is an ombre nail made?
Artists blend two or more colors with a sponge, an airbrush or a blending brush, or fade acrylic powder from one color into the next.
Does ombre suit short nails?
Yes. A short fade still shows clearly, and a pink to white ombre makes short nails look longer.
