Hello darlings, it’s time to celebrate Pride Month in style! What better way to show your support than with rainbow-inspired nail art? Let’s dive into some amazing ideas to jazz up your nails this season.

The Story Behind Pride Month 🌈

Before we get into the designs, let’s first understand the history of LGBTQ+ Pride Month. It all started with a rebellion at Stonewall Inn in 1969 in New York City. The police raided the gay bar, which sparked a riot among patrons and activists. The Stonewall riots became a catalyst for the LGBTQ+ rights movement and inspired the first Pride march in 1970. Since then, every June, people around the world celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month to pay homage to the struggle and celebrate the love, diversity, and acceptance that define it.

Rainbow-Inspired Nail Art Ideas 🌈

1. Rainbow Tips 🌈

For a classic and subtle rainbow look, simply paint each nail with a different color and add a thin line of each color to the tips.

👉🏼Tip: For a neater look, use tape to create a straight line at the tips before painting.

2. Ombre Rainbow 🌈

Create a gradient ombre effect by blending different colors on each nail. Start with the lightest shade on the base and gradually blend it into the darkest shade at the tip.

👉🏼Tip: Use a makeup sponge to paint multiple colors and blend them perfectly.

3. Glitter Rainbow 🌈

Make your nails shine with some glittery magic! Paint one or two coats of glitter nail polish on each nail and create a rainbow effect by painting tiny stripes of each color on the glitter base.

👉🏼Tip: For a mess-free mani, use tape to create straight lines.
