Gradient nude nail designs are a popular trend in the beauty industry. They feature a smooth transition of color from a lighter to a darker shade of nude, creating a natural and subtle look. These designs are often achieved using a base coat, a nude shade, and a darker nude shade for the gradient effect. Nail artists may use techniques like sponge application or freehand painting to create the desired gradient. Pictures of these designs can be found in beauty magazines, nail art blogs, and social media platforms.
