What are Pink and White Ombre Nails?

Pink and white Ombre nails

There are many ways to do pink and white ombre nails, but the typical way you do this trend is called baby boomer nails. This looks like a french manicure but with a modern, ombre twist. Contrary to its funny name, this trend is popular among the younger crowd and the mature crowd.

Ombre nails came around a little over ten years ago and are when one polish color gradually fades into another. The pink polish is faded with pink and white ombre nails into a white tip. However, there are many ways to do different pink and white ombre looks.

French Ombre

French Ombre

A french ombre is the new take on the classic french tip and is also called baby boomer nails. This is an excellent look for nice events such as weddings, charity events, and work parties.

It can also last longer than other manicures due to the pink base blending into your natural nail, so people do not notice the growth as quickly.

A white tip is blended into a light pink base for this look. The pink should be more of a neutral pink if you want it to blend with your natural nail, but it can be a brighter pink if you want a more colorful look. Like a french manicure, the white starts to blend into the pink where the nail’s free edge is.

Matte Pink and White Ombre

Matte Pink and White Ombre

To give your pink and white ombre a bit more edge, make your nails matte rather than shiny. You can do this with the traditional french ombre or create a stylish design matte. A matte look on a classic french ombre will make your nails look even more natural.

To get a matte nail, you need a matte topcoat. The ombre technique naturally gives your nails a matte look, but it is textured and still needs a topcoat. Some great matte topcoats you can try are Sally Hansen Big Matte, OPI Matte Finish, and Essie Matte About You.

Pastel Pink and White Ombre

Pastel Pink and White Ombre

To jump into the summer spirit, try a pastel pink ombre. Pastel pink contrasts more with white than a neutral pink, so you will be able to notice the pink more. Pastel pink and white ombre can also look more natural or be a brighter look, depending on how you do it.

For a more natural look with pastel pink and white ombre, start the pastel pink at the base and fade it into white at the tip. If you want this style to stand out more, flip it so the white is at the bottom of your nail and the pastel pink is on the ends. Either way is going to stand out without becoming overwhelming.

Fuschia Pink and White Ombre

Fuschia Pink and White Ombre

If you want a look that people are bound to notice, go with a super bright pink like Fuschia. This shade is about as bright as you could go with pink, and it is best to wear this color on your nail’s tip and fade it into white at the base.

This pink and white ombre is better for fun events like a baby shower, bachelorette party, or Valentine’s Day.

You can decide how far down your nail you want the Fuschia to fade into white, whether more of your nail is Fuschia or just the very tip. The more Fuschia there is, the more it will stand out.

Pink Glitter and White Ombre

Pink Glitter and White Ombre

Glitter ombre is one of the easiest methods to do yourself and stand out more than other ombres. You can fade your pink glitter into a white tip or fade it from the tip to a white base. Chunky confetti glitter is fun to do this look with but can also be done with a fine glitter or a slight glitter overlay.

Glitter ombre is done a little differently than a regular ombre. Instead of using a sponge to blend in the glitter, you will paint the ombre on with glitter.

You want to use glitter polish with a clear base and paint it on in leveled layers until the end is opaque in glitter. You can move around the glitter with a toothpick to make it blend better.

Pink and White Glitter Ombre

Pink and White Glitter Ombre

If you love glitter but don’t want it to stand out as much, try a french ombre with a white glitter tip. This looks exactly like the baby boomer manicure, except the white end sparkles. It looks like your natural nail but gives your nail design more pizazz.

For this glitter look, you will want to start by doing a normal french ombre with your chosen pink base and a white tip. Once that is done and dry, you can add white glitter over the white portion of your ombre and slightly down into the pink. Make sure to finish with a topcoat.

Pink and White Ombre with Hearts

Pink and White Ombre with Hearts

What design is pinker than hearts? The answer is none. Pink is almost always the go-to color for any heart design on your nails, and what better way to dress up a classic design than with a pink ombre. You can go simple with a small heart in the corner of one nail or have a bunch of hearts falling into your pink ombre.

Hearts are a relatively easy design to free-hand paint yourself, and you will need a dotting tool and a thin nail art brush to achieve this look. To paint a heart, start by putting two dots of paint next to each other. Then take your thin brush, draw a triangle connecting the two dots, and fill it in. If you aren’t up to free-handing it, try nail stickers or nail stamps.

Marble Pink and White Ombre

Marble Pink and White Ombre

Marble is a trend that has been around for a few years now and is seen on everything, from phone cases to hair accessories to nails. White is almost always involved in an ombre design, and then you can add any color from there, like pink. You can ombre in your marble design to a nude, pink, or white.

To ombre a marble design, you want to start by doing your marble design. You can decide to do the water method, the paint-on method, or use a nail stamp. Once you finish your marble design, you then come in with your base color and ombre it up into the marble design.

Pink and White Ombre with Butterflies

Pink and White Ombre with Butterflies

Butterflies are a prevalent nail design trend this summer. You can ombre many pink butterflies into a white base or add a small butterfly on each pink and white ombre nail. You can also do an overlay of many butterflies over your pink and white ombre.

The easiest way to design butterflies is with nail sequins, nail stickers, or nail stamps. You can also paint on your butterflies if you feel up to it. The easiest way to paint your butterflies is to put two dots next to each other with a larger dotting tool and then put two more dots below those two with a smaller dotting tool. Finish it off with a black line painted down the center of the four dots with a thin nail brush.

Jeweled Pink and White Ombre

Jeweled Pink and White Ombre

To dress up your pink and white ombre, add a few jewels to it. Jewels are fun to turn your nails into an accessory for a big event like a birthday party or anniversary party. You can add one single jewel near the cuticle of each nail or dress up one nail with a design of jewels.

There are many different jewels you can choose from to dress up your manicure, like simple round jewels or fancy-designed jewels. To apply the jewels, paint your pink and white ombre nails with a topcoat. Before it dries, pick up the jewels with tweezers or a dotting tool dipped in a topcoat and place them into the topcoat where you want them placed.

Gradient Pink to White Ombre

Gradient Pink to White Ombre

This may seem a bit confusing since ombre is a type of gradient. However, the gradient nail trend is when one nail gradually fades into the next nail until the last nail on your hand is an entirely different color. You can then ombre these colors into a nude base or any other color base.

To achieve a gradient ombre, you will need five colors, from dark pink to white. You can also make your gradient by gradually mixing the dark pink into the white color from nail to nail. Then ombre these colors into your chosen base color.

Pink Ombre with White Flames

Pink Ombre with White Flames

The flames look is a popular nail design this year. A fun look to try with flames is to do a pink ombre with white flames painted over the top of it. To keep this look from becoming too complex, you want to keep the white flames close to the tip or just a simple flame outline.

If you plan to free-hand this design, I would start by finding a photo on which you would like to base your flames. Then take a thin, short nail brush and start painting on your flames.

You can choose if you want to fill in the flames with white paint or leave an outline. Try these nail stickers or nail stamps if you do not wish to free-hand paint the flames

Pink Ombre with French Tip

Pink Ombre with French Tip

A pink ombre with a french tip is another confusing one since a pink and white ombre can be a rendition of a french tip, but this is a charming look.

It gives you the look of that healthy nail half-moon lightness at the base of your nail with a small white tip. You’ll get a classic french tip with the mix of a modern ombre.

For a pink ombre with a french tip, start by doing the ombre with a pink and a lighter pink or white. Make sure the pale pink or white is at the base to mimic the half-moon cuticle.

Then take a thin nail brush and paint your tip on the very end of your nail. I would not paint the tip as thick as you usually would, or else you will lose its ombre.

How to Do Pink and White Ombre Yourself

What You Need

  1. Your chosen pink polish
  2. White nail polish
  3. A disposable makeup sponge
  4. Liquid latex
  5. Topcoat

Start by painting your entire nail white with a couple of coats and letting it dry completely. Coat your skin around your nail with liquid latex to protect your skin from nail polish. Then, take your disposable makeup sponge and paint the pink onto it until it is saturated but not dripping.

Dab the pink onto your nail starting from where you want the pink to be bright and dab it down the nail into the white.

Continue painting the sponge with pink and dabbing it onto your nail until the base or tip(wherever you want to pink brightest) is fully opaque and blends into the white. Finish your ombre nail with a topcoat.
