8 Ombre Manicure Ideas for Summer: Original Design on Your Nails
While manicure trends are constantly changing, some looks will always be in style, like classic French tips, a good neutral polish, and the fun of ombré nails. While ombré in all its forms has been trending long enough for many of us to associate it with past eras (2010s ombré hair, anyone?), there are so many variations on this gradient look that feel fresh for modern times. Whether you prefer a vivid color progression, a touch of glitter, or a subtle French ombré, you can absolutely find a mani here that fits your tastes and upgrades your nail look.
