How to master double ombre nail art
Just when you believe you've explored all options for wearing French-style nails, social media presents something fresh for you to experiment with. The current viral trend is the "double ombre nail," an attention-grabbing design that merges traditional French manicure elements with diverse color gradients. It involves blending two ombre gradients on each nail, resulting in a captivating look that creates an impression of depth.
What are double ombre nails?
Ombre nails are created by mixing two colors, typically a light and a dark shade to produce a gradient look. Double ombre nail is a mix of French manicures and the basic ombre fade to create a distinctive hypnotic, eye-catching pattern. The selection of colors is extremely diverse, ranging from classic choices like white and pink to bold and stunning clashing hues.
How to create the effect?
The first step is to select two nail colors that can blend seamlessly. Now create vertical ombre manicures by painting each vertical portion of your nail with two different colors, gently blending the middle portion where the colors meet. Use a precision nail art brush to shape your colors and produce a 3D optical illusion. Finally, paint a top coat to ensure it lasts.
Some classic color combinations
Long or extra-long nails serve as the best canvas for this style. However, shorter nails can also achieve double ombre nails. Some basic color combinations that do well in the double ombre effect include the bubblegum pink and white, and golden hour glow using white polish and shades of yellow. You could also try out black with grey, cherry red, or violet.
