How to Do Baby Boomer Nails


Welcome to this ultimate guide to doing Baby Boomer nails. I've collected the best techniques and tips from various tutorials on the Internet to help you master this popular manicure technique.

What are Baby Boomer Nails?


Baby Boomer nails, also known as French Fade or French Ombré, are a manicure trend that combines the classic French Manicure style with a gradient technique. The result is a smooth, seamless transition between the white of the tips and the more natural color of the base of the nail.

How to do Baby Boomer nails?

Step 1: Nail preparation

Before you start, make sure your nails are clean, dry and free of polish. Use a nail file to give your nails the desired shape.

Step 2: Applying the base

Apply a base coat to your nails. This will help protect your nails and make your manicure last longer.

Step 3: Applying Polish

Start by applying a nude or pale pink color to the entire nail. Next, apply white polish to the tip of the nail, starting in the middle and stretching the color out to the sides. Make sure to leave space between the white polish and the cuticle.

Step 4: Creating the Gradient

Use a makeup sponge to gently dab on the area where the white polish and nude color meet. This will help create a gradient effect. Repeat this step until you are satisfied with the ombre effect.

Step 5: Applying the Top Coat

Finally, apply a top coat to seal your manicure and give it a nice shine. Make sure to let your nails dry before doing anything to avoid ruining your beautiful manicure.

Tips and Tricks

- If you use gel instead of traditional nail polish, make sure to cure each layer under a UV or LED lamp.
- For a more pronounced ombre effect, you can use two colors of nude polish - a lighter one for the base of the nail and a darker one for the middle of the nail.
- Don't forget to take care of your cuticles. Use cuticle oil to keep them moisturized and healthy.
