Tips for Making Your 4th of July Ombré Last All Weekend
Ombré designs rely on seamless blending, so protect the gradient with a glossy top coat refreshed every couple of days — it keeps the colours looking freshly sponged and stops glitter lifting at the edges. Red and blue pigments can stain, so start with a good base coat, and be extra careful with sunscreen and barbecue tongs, the twin enemies of a fresh holiday manicure.
From the softest pastel starburst to the boldest glossy fade, these ombré designs cover every way to wear the fourth. Pick your palette, book the appointment, and get ready to match the fireworks.
