16 Super Cool Ombre/Gradient Nail Art Tutorials

July 11, 2016

ombre gradient nail art designs and tutorials

I love good mani especially one with a cool ombre and/or gradient nail art design. It’s so cool looking yet intimidating at the same time because it looks so complicated. After looking at several ombre and gradient nail art tutorials, I’ve learned that they’re not as complicated as they might seem.

There’s also been a lot of confusion between the ombre and gradient nail designs so I thought I’ll go ahead and explain the difference. Ombre nails are the transition between colors within the same family from nail to nail (ex: dark blue to light blue) where as gradient nails are a transition of two or more colors on one nail (Ex: blue at the base and pink at tip with purple being the transition color). If you’re still confused, The Swatchaholic did a great write up on it here.

I love both designs and a combination of the two but I’m still trying to perfect each technique. If you’re looking for inspiration, I’ve put together a few of my favorite ombre and gradient nail art designs (with tutorials) from some of my favorite nail bloggers and instagrammers. Enjoy!

    I love ombre/gradient nail art. It can be a nice soft base for decoration (dots, snowflakes, hearts, etc) but I like it plain or with a minimal decoration. Additionally, this is very easy nail design so even beginners can do it.
