French-ombre manicure: 18 nail designs that will always be on trend

French-ombre manicure: 18 nail designs that will always be on trend
If you're looking to ease into the trend as a manicure, but bold colors are a little too much for you, fear not: A fresh twist on the traditional French manicure, dubbed the "French ombré," has taken over our feeds, and we're seriously swooning. Much like a French manicure, French ombré manicures also typically stick to neutral shades of pink, white, and varying nude tones. As opposed to the traditional line of demarcation below a crisp, white tip, a French ombré has a natural fade element instead. The end result? A gorgeous modern twist on a true classic. Ahead, see 18 of our favorite French ombré nail looks, from negative space with nail art to glam glitters.


01 French Fade

.


In this classic take on a French ombré manicure, the vibrant white tip gradually darkens to a pretty petal pink near the cuticle. The color-coordinated scrunchies are a nice touch, too.
02 Chrome French Ombré

.


These short oval nails feature a cherry blossom-pink base and begin to fade midway to eggshell white that'll look good year-round. We adore how the chrome finish elevates the mani, giving it a super modern and on-trend feel.


03 Slight Sparkle

.


Look closely and you'll see the light reflecting off the perfectly applied iridescent sparkle polish on each ring fingernail. It's a fun accent you have to look closely to appreciate.


04 Coral Fade

.


Ever since Pantone announced the color of 2024 as 'Peach Fuzz,' we've seen coral pop up just about everywhere—and that includes nails. This faded number is a super fun way of sporting coral nails.

06 Short and Square

.


French ombré is sometimes referred to as "baby boomer nails," because during the baby boom (1946-1964) many women opted to paint their nails in shades of pink and white, like this manicure here. The square shape of this set adds some edge to the sophisticated trend.


07 Perfectly Polished

.


The expert-level fade here makes this set of rose-toned nails look like a traditional French manicure, but when you look closely, you can see the airbrush-like transition. It's a solid option for those not ready to commit to full ombré quite yet.


08 Almost Invisible

.


This fade is so subtle that you have to really look closely to see—and we love it. Ask your technician for a barely-there ombré manicure.


09 Confetti Kiss

.


In keeping with the classy, subtle theme of the French ombré, these adorable yet eye-catching dots placed at the nail base add the tiniest bit of festiveness to an otherwise demure look.


10 Winter White

.


Another beautiful example of a classic, gradient, and glossy French ombré manicure, this one has especially frosty white tips.


11 Dusky Blue

.


You aren't limited to pearly whites for a stunning ombre set, and you can opt for a dusky blue fade that mimics the sky at dawn.


12 Simple Snowflake

.


During the winter, make your nails feel festive by adding a sophisticated snowflake design to a nude and white French ombré mani.

14 Caviar Accent Nail

Enhance the glamour of your French ombré manicure by adding tiny gems to one finger, also known as a caviar manicure.


15 Glitter Tips

.


A French ombré can be achieved with a little sparkle. This golden glitter mani is subtle enough for everyday wear, but shines enough for a night out.


16 Negative Space French Ombré

.


Who said that French tips have to be thick and solid? Start your ombré design in the negative space of a double French, as seen here with this ocean blue, glittery gradient set.
