Ombre Nails FAQs
Ombre nails are a type of manicure that blends two or more colours, creating a gradient that transitions from a lighter colour at the tip of your nail to a darker one at the base, or vice versa.
The price of ombre nail manicures varies from salon to salon, but you should expect to pay between ZAR 15 and ZAR 600 in Waterfront.
It depends on the type of polish you use. Traditional nail lacquer should last around a week; shellac and gel will last for 2-3 weeks; and acrylic should last between 6-8 weeks but will need a fill every 2-3 weeks to cover nail regrowth.
Because of the colour-blend process involved, ombre nails aren’t as straight-forward as a standard manicure. The length of time will depend on the number of colours you have blended, and the type of polish you choose. Your nail technician will be able to advise you on how long your manicure will take when you book your appointment.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, some technicians prefer to use gel polish because they believe it gives the most seamless ombre blend.
Shellac, gel, acrylic and traditional lacquer can all be used to create a beautiful ombre effect on your nails. It’s likely that your nail technician will to apply one colour of polish at the base of your nail, another colour at the tip, and blend the two in the centre using a brush or makeup sponge before repeating the process on your other nails. The manicure is then finished with a top coat and cured.
