What are ombre nails?

Ombre nails are a manicure created using a color gradient. Usually, the nail tips are a darker color and then transition to a lighter shade toward the base of the nails.

Or, sometimes this gradient is reversed and the tip of the nails is a lighter shade which then slowly transitions to a deeper color at the nail base.
