, the ombré trend began in the early 2000’s and has lasted nearly twenty years. Beginning with the ombré hairstyle, many cultural icons such as Khloé Kardashian, Alexa Chung, and Sarah Jessica Parker started with the faded look of darker hair to light. The idea was genius, when expertly done, the ombré style relieved the pressure to keep your color in order to prevent your roots from showing. While achieving this style wasn’t just about letting your roots grow out, and there were for sure awful executions of the ombré look, the trend persisted. One top of the ease of the style, it opened the doors to new color combinations and experimentations previously not thought of in the world of hair.[1]

Around 2013, the ombré trend burst out of the hair world and began to permeate the rest of the style universe. Ombré color gradation showed up in clothing designs, home décor, wedding accoutrements, and of course, nail art. What makes ombré perfect for nails is while the design itself is simple the finish packs a punch. Ombré can work with any color combination, as an entire look or an accent nail, on short or long nails…as you can tell, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

If you favor a darker, more dangerous style, then you will go crazy for our red and black ombré nail designs. Red and black are a natural color pairing, and that goes double for ombré-style nails. Start the black at the cuticle or at the tip, make the red the focal point or go for a deeper shade to make the black the star of the show, keep it matte or make it shiny…whatever your style, there will be a red and black ombré nail for you!

Best Red And Gold Nails

Red ombre nails are a great way to make a statement. They’re eye-catching and bold, but they also have a bit of an edge to them because they’re not the typical pink or blue—they’re red!

If you want to stand out from the crowd without being too crazy, red ombre nails are definitely up your alley. If you want people to notice your hands as soon as they see them, these will do the trick. If you want something that’s going to make people look at you in wonder and admiration, these are the perfect choice for you.

Devilishly beautiful, short coffin nails are the perfect nail for red and black ombré. This style takes on a tipped look, with the red focused at the tip of the nail and the majority of the design being black. Finishing with a shiny seal adds a classic touch and deepens the colors.

Valentine's Day Nail Art

A mish-mash style, each nail in this look takes on a distinct design with themes that tie them together. The red and black ombré is important, as it connects the sparkling red nail to the other black designs within the style. While a volleyball is featured here, you could switch out that design for another sport or something that would complement the other colors, like silver.

If you favor a long, pointed nail, an ombré color effect is an ideal alternative to tips. Trying to do a French-style tip doesn’t really work with this shape, but with ombré you can create a color contrast without sacrificing impact. Red and black are perfect for this shape, as red gives a pop of color while black provides the drama.

Matte nails are a popular choice in nail art, and are a great way to execute the red and black ombré look. By its nature, matter nails are more subtle, which makes them a great choice if you work in a professional setting. The ombré here starts the red at the cuticle, and implements a darker shade. The gradation contrast is less obvious, fitting with the matte style. Altogether, the whole effect creates a two-toned look that is simple and clean.

Using glitter within your ombré style adds dimension and glam to your look. The glitter catches the light, therefore the eye, and pumps up the

Factor. Using a black nail polish with a bit of shimmer complements the glitter and helps to keep the contrast from being too extreme. There’s enough extreme in this look with the pointed tips, so it is important not to overdo it.

Rounded points give a sense of fun and danger in this cool ombré style. Red is the star within the color combo, making black the tip. While some ombrés have a subtle gradation, the colors here make a quick change from red to black. This creates the illusion of tips while still sticking with the ombré style.

Trendy Red Nail Designs To Make A Bold Statement

Mix and match is on trend in nail art, particularly between hands. This bold look goes for a quick-change ombré on the one hand to give a pop of color, contrasting the stripes on the other hand. A coffin nail shape is a fun way to add another bit of flair to the style. If you wanted more color cohesion (other than just black) you could make the accent nail on the striped hand red to pull everything together.

Silver glitter is a great complement to the red and black ombré in this look. Glitter provides a textural contrast, while the silver brightens up the deeper tones of the ombré nails. Going with a matte style for the ombré is another distinct element opposed to the shine from the glitter.

The best way to accomplish this look is with the dip powder method, painting the red on the nail first and then using black dip powder to create the ombré style. With dip powder, the gradation is a quick change rather than a more subtle shift in color, causing a two-toned effect. Rounded tips here add a sense of length to this shorter look.

Using ombré in this style is a great way to make the look cohesive, while still having an accent nail. The red provides a pop within the design, while the black-centric ombré mellows out the style. Long coffin nails make a stunning impact with a simple yet effective coloring.

A fun way to shake up the red and black look is to go with a deeper color of red, such as this beautiful wine color. Another example of the dip powder method, the ombré appears more subtle here because of the darker shade of red. A shiny overcoat adds a pop and a fun finish to the overall style.

The three-dimensional black flower adds a cool decoration to this matte look. Rounded, long nails are a pretty way to show off the ombré style, complementing the flower. Using the same black nail polish to create the flowers is the ideal way to maintain cohesion throughout the look.

One of the greatest advantages of dip powder is the ability to create awesome looks for yourself at home. This ease of use makes a style like this perfect for a home manicure. In this case, you can see that the black ombré tips are slightly different sizes, implying a home style, but such a small detail would be hard to catch. People will be asking you how much it cost to get your nails done!

If you are a fan of glitz and glam, adding diamonds to your nails is a great way to pump up your nail looks. Using ombré tones within a manicure like this breaks up the design and adds another element of style. The pop of the red complements both the shine of the glitter and the black.

A deep shade of red goes perfectly with the black in this ombré look. With curved, pointed nails, you want to let the shape make the impact. Going for a muted version of the red and black ombré helps the nail shape to stand out, but still fits with the style. Finishing with a shine is a great way to draw the eye, but a matte would look just as nice if you need a subtle alternative.

An unconventional take on an ombré style, this look comes from using a nail or paintbrush to achieve the ombré effect rather than a sponge. Utilizing a brush creates a streaky rather than perfectly blended design, but it has a classical painted quality that makes the whole look unique. For this design, finishing with a conventional glossy clear coat is important to smooth out the effect. This is one of the few styles that wouldn’t necessarily convert well to a matte look.

Red and black clays have been trending in facials and skin care, but the natural earth tones aren’t just limited to face washes and toners! Here, a red clay tone is a great complement to the charcoal black, blending seamlessly in the ombré style. A matte finish works best in this situation, as it fits with the natural theme.

These stunning long nails make quite the statement in this ombré red and black look. The slight shimmer within each of the polishes adds a bit of depth, with the shine makes the colors sing. If you look closely, you can see that this
