I love neutral nails, but I’m also sensitive to certain trends that peak in the summer. One maximalist trend that keeps popping up in algorithms is none other than ombre nails. At first I thought this might not suit me, but after seeing that I could use different color combinations to suit my style, I was sold.
If you don’t already know, ombre nails (sometimes confused with aura nails) Sponge two or more colors onto your nails and diffuse to create a seamless blend and transition from one color to another. Often this is done vertically on individual nails, but I’ve also seen my fair share of sets where the pattern spreads horizontally across all five nails. Pretty cool, right?
I’m totally obsessed with ombre nails right now, so I’ve been saving some of my favorite looks that I think would fit in perfectly for summer events. Want to know which one I love? Keep scrolling for 12 looks you’ll want to try.
1. Pink & White Fade
This classic pink and white is incredibly sophisticated and useful for any occasion. I like to recreate this style using Chill House press-ons Birthday ($13).

Pastel colors are here for summer. Rather than applying ombre to individual nails, consider a vertical pattern throughout the manicure.
