Rainbow tips on straight nails

While almond nails beautifully mimic the curve of a rainbow, straight-cut nails offer a distinct charm by mimicking the straight lines of the iconic pride flag. This allows you to express your pride in a very obvious but fun way. A pro tip is to start with the color that is closest to your cuticle and work your way up to the tip. This ensures straight lines, as you can focus on one edge at a time. The subsequent colors will naturally overlap the previous edge, ensuring the crispness of the design.

Genderfluid nails

How mesmerizing are these nails with an enchanting marble effect in the colors of the genderfluid flag? Not to mention that the fluidity of the design perfectly represents what genderfluid stands for. Recreate this look by strategically dropping dots of each color onto your nails. While the dots are still wet, take a toothpick and gently twirl them to achieve the swirling marble pattern. To ensure a flawless finish without any gaps, we recommend painting all your nails in one of the flag colors first, allowing them to dry fully before adding the marble design. For a sleek and polished result, seal the design with a top coat to ensure a smooth texture.
