Ombre Nails

A gradient effect where one color fades smoothly into another across the nail.

Ombre (or baby boomer when done in pink-to-white) blends two or more colors into a seamless gradient, usually achieved by sponging or by blending acrylic/gel while wet. It's a salon staple for a soft, elegant look.
