It’s safe to assume that most (if not all) beauty lovers are obsessed with nail art. For some reason, it sparks joy like nothing else. So naturally, we love to keep up to date with the latest nail design trends, and this summer did not disappoint.
If the warmer weather is getting you in the mood to try something new, summer ombre nails are here to shake things up. RN, we feel like the beauty world is obsessed with Ombre nails – it is literally dominating our social feeds, and we can’t lie, we’re 100% into it. Summer and ombre go hand-in-hand – just look at different shades of blue in the ocean, those pinky-orange sunsets, and the Mai Tai cocktails people sip while lounging poolside. It allows you to channel those killa’ colour blending right at your fingertips. The result? A manicure that perfectly fills the gap between run-of-the-mill polish job and full-blown nail art, perf for hot girl summer. Ready to try the trend? Here’s some major #OmbreNailInspo that you won’t be able to stop staring at.

Half & Half
Even though we celebrate love all year long, there’s something about being loud and proud about it during pride month. That said, an on-theme manicure is a perfect way to celebrate and spread the love this month. Here’s an Instagram look we’ve seen, loved, and proceeded to screenshot in honor of pride month.
Candy Crush
These pink ombre nails couldn’t be any cuter. A horizontal gradient of soft pastel is so pretty, no matter the season.
Cotton Candy Nails

The star opted for a minimal manicure like this one that blended beautifully with her Mehandi.
For The Glitter-Obsessed
A gold flitter tip will be the talk of any summer party on your schedule. It looks fancy, but it’s so easy to do with a sponge and a good polish.
It’s All About The Tips
