Baby boomer nails

A soft gradient from rose to white – the gentler alternative to a French manicure.

Baby boomer nails show a seamless gradient from a delicate rose or nude at the base to a bright white at the tip. The look is elegant, polished and a perennial favourite for every day and bridal styling.

Technique:

The gradient is built with gel or acrylic in several thin layers or with a sponge – the skill lies in a soft transition without a visible line. As nails grow out, the look stays subtle longer than a classic French with its hard white line.
