Summer gradient nail designs are a popular trend in nail art, characterized by smooth transitions of color from light to dark or vice versa. These designs often feature vibrant colors and can range from subtle pastel shades to bold neon hues. They are created using multiple layers of nail polish, often with a sponge or brush to blend the colors seamlessly. Summer gradient nails are ideal for those who want a stylish and colorful look without the commitment of a full set of colored nails.
