Hidden Rainbow Nails!

In case you didn't know, rainbow colors are very popular right now. So I took advantage of this and tried out a design I found online. It's super cute, and has rainbows in it! Here's what you'll need:

  • 5 bright colors
  • a black colored nail polish
  • some semi-sticky tape
  • a top coat
Step 1: Applying The Rainbow
Using a thin portion of the brush, apply a small vertical stripe of color to one section of you nail
Do this again, but with a different color next to the first stripe once the one before has dried
Once you have a stripe of each color, wait until everything is dry before moving to the next step

Step 2: Hiding the Rainbow
Once your nails are totally dry, cut a strip of tape the size you want the rainbow to be
Carefully stick the tape horizontally across your nail in the spot you'd like the rainbow to be
Press firmly on the tape so it will stick
Once the tape is well secured, open up a bottle of black nail polish
Paint over the tape and the rest of the nail, making sure not to get any under the tape

Step 3: Finding the Rainbow
Once the black nail polish has dried almost completely, peel off the tape in one motion
Wait about 5 minutes or so, then apply a topcoat to seal the rainbow in
Enjoy!
