These watercolor manicures are incredibly dreamy

This is the summer of ombre. First, ombre hair, then ombre smoothies — and now, ombre nails! This look is best achieved by a new technique known as a watercolor manicure.

Professional manicurist Karen Gutierrez told InStyle: “This trend is basically an ombré look that incorporates three colors into one nail.” According to Gutierrez, watercolor nails work best with light shades, especially blues reminiscent of the ocean. And we are hooked. Below are some of our favorite looks.
