Rainbows and Shimmery Skies

The sun has finally shone on Manila after days of devastating rain.  In thanksgiving and celebration of fair weather, I have decided to create a rainbow-themed nail design.

Rainbows and Shimmery Skies
Materials:

  1. Base Coat
  2. Top Coat
  3. Nail Polish in: sparkly blue, red, medium blue, yellow and white
  4. Thin paintbrush
  5. Big dotting tool
Procedure:

After applying base coat, paint all nails with sparkly blue nail polish.

Use a big dotting tool to make clouds on the tips of the nails.  (I've accidentally started painting the rainbow on my pinky here before taking the picture... Sorry!)


Use a thin paintbrush dipped in blue polish to create arches for the rainbows.

Do the same with yellow and red polish.
As usual, finish off with top coat, and you're done!!

Helpful Tips:

  • If you do not have a sparkly blue nail polish like the one I used, use a regular blue nail polish and top with glittery top coat.
  • Another option for this design is to keep the sky a solid shade of pale blue, then top either the rainbow or the clouds with glittery top coat. It might just work ;)
  • If your nails are long enough, you may use as many colors as you wish for the rainbow :)
Thanks for reading!!
