Bridal season is upon us. Whether you’re getting married or attending a friend’s nuptials, there’s no better time to show off your best nail art. Brides have a lot of options when it comes to their wedding day beauty look (and these ideas will work for bridesmaids too). From French manicures to glittering designs that match the bride’s dress, here are some of our favorite looks for a million-dollar mani that won’t break the bank: ombre wedding nails!
What are ombré wedding nails?
Ombré nails are a beautiful, simple way to add a touch of color to your wedding day look. The term oombré comes from the French word ombre, which means “shadow” or “shade.”
Ombré nails can be created in many ways—from a subtle gradation of color on each nail to an intense monochromatic effect. The choice is yours!
For those looking for a bit more guidance, here are some tips on how to create an ombré nail look using your favorite Essie shades:
How to Create Ombré Wedding Nails?
- Prep your nails with base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of white nail polish onto your nails. Let dry for a few minutes before applying color (or you can use this time to take care of any other beauty prep you need.)
- Using two or three colors that are similar in tone, paint the tips of each finger with light pink polish. Make sure not to get it too thick! You want there to be some contrast between the light and dark parts of this look so skip out on painting them too thickly unless you want them all the same thickness throughout their length—which may not be what you’re going for here since they’re supposed to simulate an ombre effect between colors. The top and bottom should still be fairly thin though so that when we start adding darker shades later on they’ll really stand out against our lighter ones; then again, if this isn’t something important then just go ahead and keep things as thick as desired because there’s no wrong way when it comes down to style!
Ombré Wedding Nail Ideas For Brides
If you’re looking for ombré manicure ideas, here are five to get you started:
-
1.Colorful Ombré Wedding Nails
Colors that you can incorporate into your wedding nail art can be fun. Choosing colors that are next to each other on the rainbow is the key. You can simulate a gradual fade from one hue to the next using this process. Blues and purple, for example, will fade seamlessly, and also pinks and greens will fade rapidly. Are you looking for something bolder? Think about fading orange into yellow or blue into green. This style can be used to place the gradient on each nail or paint each nail a different color for a fun twist on the trend.

2. French Ombre Nails
This one is similar to the candy cane look, but with more of an elegant feel. This style works best if you have short nail tips (because long ones would make it hard to achieve the right shade).
-
3. Glitter Ombre Nails
Get bling on your wedding day with glitter nails. You can place glitter or rhinestones at the base of your nails and fade it into sheer color-or flip it and fade your color into glitter-covered tips. You can create a gradient effect by adding glitter to each nail.

4. White Ombre Nails
The white ombré wedding nails are a popular choice for to-be-weds everywhere, but white nails are another style. White ombré wedding nails fade from opaque to sheer instead of filling your nails with opaque polish. When you combine classic style with romantic flair, you are producing something that you’ll love.

5. Pink and White Ombre Nails
Make your own spin on pink nails. The pink and white Ombre wedding nail color palette offers a beautiful combination of popular neutrals. Start with a white, pastel pink, faded to sheer white. For those expecting to be newlyweds, a more pigmented shade of pink can fade into an opaque white color. You can choose the best shade combination with your nail tech or wedding glam squad.
