I’ve been seeing these “ombré” (not really true ombré but tonal) manicures on social media, and I’m thinking of getting one. It’s been ages since I had a professional manicure, and I have an appointment for one on Tuesday.

I really like the cool neutral version in pic 1. Pic 2 is lovely but probably better for someone with a warmer skin tone. I’m also thinking of DIYing my own color palette — see pic 4. What do you think of those colors? My actual hand is in pic 3 — even though my hands are increasingly showing my age, I still like them and don’t mind showing off a bold manicure now and then. My nails are quite long now and will get a trim before I have any polish.

Thoughts? Ideas?
