Keep reading for 25 stunning ombré nail ideas that stopped us in our tracks. Spoiler alert! ⚠ Number 4, 8, 10 and 21 are the favorites.
1. Pink Ombré Nails
For your next mani, think pink! From the latest electrifying neons to candy hues or soft pastels, a set of pink ombre nails is a deliciously feminine option. Pink ombre nail designs make a particularly sweet complement to summertime dressing.
2. Yellow Ombré
Hello sunshine! Just as yellow has been a force in fashion, yellow ombre nails are following suit to make their impact on the nail art scene.
3. Neutral Base and High Gloss
These wet-look nails are the epitome of luxe. The black ombré effect takes up the majority of the almond-shaped nail for an ultra-dramatic look.
4. Cotton Candy
Purple and pink are always an eye-catching combination. We love how this nail design's hot pink and muted lavender hues look together.
5. Multicolored Glitter
Glitter ombré on nude makes for the perfect touch of glam. Who knew glitter could be so elegant? This is a gorgeous option for anyone who wants to try the ombré look but isn’t sold on a vivid color gradient. Even though this is glitter, it still feels natural and subdued.
6. Golden Glitter
This golden manicure is a fun option for wearable glamour, and it's sure to give you a serotonin boost every time you look at it.
7. Eggshell Nail Design
Gradient nails with egg shell nail art. Eggshell nails are a type of nail art design that mimics the appearance of a textured eggshell on the nails.
8. Horizontal Sunset
A unique take on the ombré manicure is this horizontal gradient, which is possible to recreate with any color palette you like. This orange-to-yellow progression reminds us of summer sunsets, with the shimmery top coat having a celestial feel.
9. Blue Ombre Nails
One of the most elegant ombre designs is the trend towards moody blues. Winter fashions become a beautiful backdrop for fingers that look like they’ve been dipped in luscious blueberries, with tips feathered out to a lighter, icy shade. But while we usually identify this hue with the cooler seasons, brighter blues also look fantastic done in ombre style.
10. Cat Eye Pink Gradient
It might not be obvious at first glance, but cat eye nails resemble the reflective, kaleidoscopic look of a cat’s eye. Enhance your ombré nails with a touch of glitter and metallic, giving them a minimalist yet luxurious vibe.
11. Syrup nails
Create that ‘natural but better’ look on the nails, especially when used with neutral colors. Nude tones always give your hands a naturally understated presence. This minimalist ombré fade, topped off with a touch of metallic, is suitable for weddings, parties, or any occasion where the dress code requires you to appear polished with restrained elegance. Just as neutrals continue as a key, all-seasons trend, your new nude mani reflects the same taste for versatility.
12. Oil Slick Effect
No modern nail inspiration roundup would be complete without a chrome option. Oil slick glitter look achieved by using one of our chrome powders.
13. Pretty in Peach
We’re peachy keen on this sweet look. If you're looking for a simple way to dip your fingertips into the ombré look, a fun way to mix it up is with your favorite color. This soft peachy ombré situation is so pretty for hot summer days and has the vibes of a neutral yet still feels vivid and fun.
14. Ombré Manicure with Stickers
Dress your ombré manicure with our nail art stickers for a style only you can achieve! We have multiple sticker options.
15. Make it metallic!
Instead of traditional ombré, try a holographic pink for the ultimate shining moment. Start with a classic pink ombré manicure and top with a chrome overlay for some futuristic fun.
16. A Vampy Gradient
Fade to an oxblood base for a vampy gradient as delicious as this. Because, is there anything more scintillating than almond-shaped tips in a black-and-red ombré?
17. Nude & Metallic Ombré
If you’re after a refined and sparkling blend, look no further than a fabulous set of pearly white ombré nails with a chrome overlay. Keep the shape and length moderate to stay current yet timeless, proving that white is a classic that’s far from basic.
18. Overcast Clouds
Summer doesn’t always mean clear skies, and this manicure highlights the beauty in the days when the sun just can’t seem to make it out from behind the clouds.
19. Milky White Nails
Milky nails are a celebrity-approved twist on the classic nude manicure and French tip. The milky finish creates an elongating effect, giving your nails a beautifully sophisticated look.

Take the ombré look to the next level with a few tasteful dots at the base of your nail. This red-dotted sequence beautifully complements the bright yellow ombré, creating a sunny and youthful appearance that's sure to appeal.
25. Horizontal Pink Blend
Horizontal ombré provides a less expected yet equally stunning take on the technique. Tone down a classic hot pink by blending it with a baby pink shade. Doing an ombré from left to right instead of top to bottom is another cool twist.
