Baby boomer manicure is a nail technique that offers a modern twist on the classic French manicure, featuring a soft gradient between two colours - most commonly pale pink and white. Instead of the sharp line seen in a traditional French manicure, the colours blend seamlessly to create a smooth, elegant gradient.
This technique can be applied using gel, acrylic or gel polish, and can also be achieved with regular nail polish if precise blending is used. It is popular in salons due to its elegant, natural look and long-lasting results.
The baby boomer manicure is often chosen for weddings, professional events, or everyday wear. Its name comes from the Baby Boomer generation (born after World War II), as the style evokes trends from that era while being visually updated to meet contemporary aesthetic standards.
