Gradient nails have a lot in common with rainbow nails, which have been popping up on our Instagram feed all summer long. Each nail is painted in a different color, but there are a couple of major differences between these two trendy manicures.

Gradient nails aren’t simply painted in random bright colors. They feature several different tones of the same shade, creating a smooth ombre-like effect. Each nail gets a different color, starting with the lightest one on your pinky and going darker until you reach the thumb or vice versa.

You can make your gradient nails colorful, as well, but it’s common to use warm and earthy tones for the fall. Most people are creating this trendy look using nothing but nail polish, but nail artists are adding other tiny details to the mix as this trend evolves.
