Why We Love Yellow Ombre Nails

Yellow is a hue that makes you feel cheerful and excited. It’s an energizing color that adds a modern and elegant summer or springtime vibe to your fingertips. 

It’s also the most visible color in the spectrum.

So, if you’re looking to command attention wherever you go, this is one hue where you can’t go wrong. It’s even better in ombre, a dramatic gradient technique where colors shift and blend in harmony to create a masterpiece on your fingertips.

Maintain Yellow Ombre Nails With These Genius Tips

Did you choose yellow ombre nails for your tips?

That’s one decision you won’t regret. 

Chances are, you’ll want to keep them around for as long as possible (I mean, have you seen how expensive salons can be?). Good news for you, that’s totally doable.

Here’s how you can give your polish better staying power: 

  • Soaking your nails can cause peeling and make your nails brittle. So, consider using gloves while doing chores to keep your manicure looking fresh.
  • Reapply a top coat every 2 to 3 days to add a layer of protection against fading, extend your manicure’s life, and seal the nail tip from peeling.  
  • Give your nails some TLC with cuticle oil to protect your manicure while giving it a lasting shine, stimulating nail growth, and making your nails healthier.
  • If your nail polish gets chipped at the edge, don’t panic. You can still save your manicure. Use a nail file to grind, file, and shape your nails, then apply a layer of topcoat.
  • Don’t chomp on your nail polish. It doesn’t just taste awful; it can also result in chipping which will shorten the lifespan of your manicure. 

By following these tips, you can enjoy envy-inducing yellow ombre nails for as long as possible!
