Neutral Gradient Nails
You can never go wrong with neutrals, as seen here on Amy Le’s nude gradient nails. Not only is this minimalist manicure a cinch to execute, you’ll never have to worry about it clashing with any of your outfits.Candy-Colored Nails
An easy way to make multicolor nails look cohesive is to add a French tip in a slightly deeper shade than your base color, as @s.paige.a did with this cute jelly bean mani. Tip: Paint a swatch of each shade next to each other on a paper towel before painting them on your nails to see what the hues will look like together.DIY French Manicure
We’re living for the pastel tips on these nails by @bb.claws. If you’re unsure how to paint French tips on yourself, try our DIY tutorial using a silicone nail stamper (Hint: This hack works best on longer nails).Matte Pastel Nails
A fail-safe way to make sure your multicolored mani matches is by sticking with colors in the same color family, such as pale pastels. For a finish similar to @imarninails’ Easter egg-inspired mani, try topping your nails with the Essie Gel Couture Matte Top Coat.French Ombré Nails
To DIY an ombré French manicure similar to @lightslacquer, dip a sponge in your desired shade, then gently place it onto the tips of your nails. Clean up the edges and seal it in with a topcoat.Winter Tones
