Summer Ombre Nails

Summer Ombre Nails. If warmer weather has you craving something new, summer ombre nails are here to shake things up. Transitioning from one color to another, ombre nails feature a soft color gradient—either multiple shades or different tones of the same color. The result? Manicures that perfectly bridge the gap between regular nail polish and full-on nail art, perfect for summer days.
The best part? It's fairly easy to DIY at home if you don't want to go to a salon. For the most basic ombre nail look, all you need is a disposable makeup sponge—preferably in a wedge shape—and your gradient polishes (or one color mixed with various levels of white). Create the gradient on the sponge, slightly overlapping each color, and work from the lightest to the darkest to avoid color mixing. Then, carefully press the sponge onto your nails like a stamp and repeat for each finger.
Of course, that's just the most basic form of the style. Below, we've gathered the coolest ombre looks, from bright neons to whimsical clouds. Scroll up to try the best summer ombre nails and get ready to screenshot.
1. Pastel Ombre
Pastel color gradients are as refreshing as a bowl of rainbow sorbet. A matte topcoat only adds to the cool factor.
2. Cloudy Ombre
Ombre makes the perfect backdrop for cute cloud nails. This bright sunset scenario feels oh-so-summery, but it would also look great with classic sky blue shades.
3. Hot Pink Ombre
Pink is the ideal color for ombre because the contrast between baby pastel pink and Pepto pink is so drastic.
4. Ombre Tips
For a more subtle ombre nail look, try different gradients with the same color on each finger. For an extra spice, opt for a French tip design instead of a standard mani.
5. Mixed Ombre
Take the colorful nail trend a step further by making each nail have a different ombre color.
6. Golden Gleam
Gold glitter ombre tips will be the talk of any summer party on your list. It looks luxurious, but it's quite easy to achieve with a sponge trick and a nice shimmer polish.
7. French Ombre Tips
What do you get when you combine two trendy styles like ombre and French tips? The coolest mani around. If you're going to DIY this one, use the sponge dabbing technique only on the tips of your nails. Keeping the edges slightly imperfect adds to the coolness of this look.
8. Mix and Match
Keep everyone guessing with this cool mixed manicure. Ombre a few nails, then use two other random colors for the coolest effect.
9. Pastel Rainbow
If you're hesitant to try ombre nails at home, start with something simple. Use just two colors on each finger for an easy ombre effect.
10. Classic Red
Give a cool upgrade to the classic cherry red manicure with a subtle gradient to a deeper red shade at the corners of your nails. A super glossy topcoat like Seche Vite makes it look extra shiny and expensive.
