Rainbows are usually symbols of love, luck and happiness, and they are especially wonderful if you hate making choices between colors!
You can have them all literally at your fingertips with this nail art trend.
Another fantastic thing about rainbows is that they come in more than the traditional ROYGBIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) color scheme.
You can combine secondary or even tertiary colors for an alternative look that may be more subtle than the traditional rainbow. Using tertiary colors, for example, creates a more muted and subtle appearance that may be more appropriate for formal or professional occasions while remaining whimsical and fun.
You can also change things up by playing with the visual orientation of the rainbow.
It may be natural to assume that you can do a rainbow design vertically on each nail, making stripes from the cuticle to the nail tip. But you can also do rainbows from side to side, too, which creates thinner stripes.
For an unmistakable look that really allows you to enjoy the color range, you can have each nail be a single, solid color in the order of the rainbow.
For even more attention, you can use different finishes and textures to keep things visually interesting.
Using matte, glossy or velvet techniques can change the look and subtlety of your rainbow nails.
More iridescent shades will really stand out and also provide a funky vintage vibe.
Rainbow nails are perfect any time of year, but they can look especially at home in the spring and summer months when rainbows are most likely. The sky is literally the limit!
