3. Pastel Ombre Nails
Ombre nails are eye-catching, but you don’t need a salon appointment for a soft pastel gradient. A blend of baby pink, lavender, mint, or sky blue fading into each other looks dreamy and Pinterest-perfect.
The pastel ombre design is especially popular in spring and summer. It has a light, airy vibe that pairs beautifully with floral dresses and soft makeup.
To DIY, you’ll need a sponge to dab on the gradient shades. Start with the lightest color at the base and blend into a darker shade toward the tip. Even if your blending isn’t perfect, the soft pastel tones will still look lovely.

Pro tip: Add a glossy top coat to smooth out the gradient for a salon-quality finish.
