Baby boomer nails: How to succeed with the nail trend

Babyboomer, also known as French Ombré, is an absolute favourite design of many. The beautiful natural gradient in milk white makes the nails look very neat. You can also easily combine the design with any item of clothing.

Yes, Babyboomer is a nail colour that looks elegant, classic and yet pretty. The design is a manicure that makes your nails look well-groomed without standing out.

In this blog post, we'll show you what baby boomer nails are and how you can easily recreate the look at home.

The baby boomer look is the new way to wear French nails in a natural way. The base is a light rosé or beige tone that fades into a milky white towards the tips. The gradient has no hard edge and therefore looks extremely natural. Unlike the French manicure, no opaque snow white is used for the nail tips, but a soft, milky white.

Baby boomer nails don't always have to be created with acrylic or gel, but can also be achieved with nail polish.

You will need:

Nail polish in a nude colour

Nail polish in white

top coat

Make-up sponge

Base coat

Baby boomer nails don't always have to be created with acrylic or gel, but can also be achieved with nail polish.

1. in the first step, apply a thin layer of base coat to all nails.

2. then use a slightly translucent pink or beige to create the base.

3. to achieve the ombre effect, use a soft white colour. Apply the nail polish to a sponge and lightly dab the colour onto the tip of the nail, approximately to the centre of the nail. Leave to dry and go over the tip of the nail again with the white, but this time not up to the centre of the nail, just the top quarter.

4. if you wish, you can also add a fine glitter polish over the nails, then apply the top coat and your beautiful nails are ready!

Of course, you can also create the baby boomer look with Shellac or other UV varnishes. You don't need the sponge for this.

1. first apply a thin layer of basecoat and let it harden under the lamp.

2. then apply the desired nude colour and allow this to harden in the lamp.

3. now apply the soft white colour very finely to the tip of the nail and let it run out to the nail bed. Use a soft brush to blend the colour. Once you are happy with the colour, you can harden the French.

4. to seal everything, the topcoat is now applied and also cured.

Now you know how the baby boomer nail trend works and how you can easily recreate it at home. Find your perfect nail polish colours.
