Gray Ombré Cross
Description of Design:
These extra-long coffin nails feature a sleek gray ombré that transitions from deeper smoky gray near the cuticles into a softer, lighter gray toward the tips. Small silver rhinestones add subtle sparkle throughout the manicure, while a statement silver cross charm creates a bold focal point. The glossy monochromatic finish gives the design a moody, edgy, and luxe aesthetic.
