Winter can be harsh on our hands, but nail art has stepped up its game with new trends and attractive winter looks.

One of the most popular trends is ombre nails, which have evolved to incorporate delicate color blends and take inspiration from the spectacular hair trends of the moment.

Ombre nails are designs in which the manicurist creates a color gradient, just like ombre hair. Typically, a bright color is gradually blended into a darker hue towards the tip of the nail to create an ombre manicure.

However, there are now dozens of stunning variations that can overwhelm you.

French ombre is a classic variation that presents a sleek, elegant veneer and can look great on any occasion.

Glitter ombre nails add a little sparkle and gloss to your collection of manicure designs, while holographic ombre designs are perfect for longer nails and give you more room to play around with your manicure.

The durability of ombre manicures is also impressive, lasting three to four weeks on average. Nail artists use pigmented powder instead of UV rays to seal the gel polish, making it last longer than traditional gel polish.

Ombre nails are the perfect solution for women looking to beat the winter blues and stay warm while experimenting with their favorite colors.
