Either as an accent nail or an entire set, two-tone ombré nail designs give you a sharp contrast look in your colorway. A modern-day classic and a stylish look, this distinct ombré look is a (relatively) easy way to add a lot of class.
This style limits you to two tones, but you might be surprised at how creative you can get with this. We looked through thousands of talented nail artists and two-tone designs to bring you some inspiration whether you want to try this for yourself or show it to your nail tech.
