• Step 1

  Here is a video version of the design. I decided to post a picture version as well (: I hope it isn't too repetitive. You can choose either one you prefer.

• 

  Step 2

  Start by applying a base coat to protect your natural nails.

• 

  Step 3

  This step is optional but I painted the base color white to make the rainbow colors appear brighter and more opaque.

  Since this is for the base, you do not need to apply a very thick layer as the other colors will cover it up later on. A thin coat should do just fine.

• 

  Step 4

  Moving onto the rainbow colors, I start by painting my nails red. I paint the middle bit of my nail horizontally forming a line without touching the sides and nails cuticles. It doesn’t have to be very neat or perfect. This is because the black nail polish will cover it the ends later on. The trick to this is to dab the color on your nail. You do not need to take a lot of nail polish since you are only painting a line across. Once you are done with red, you can move onto the orange nail polish.

• 

  Step 5

  The same method as before, I dabbed on the orange polish. I know it can be tedious to slowly apply each color. The best part about this is since you only dabbed the colors on, there isn't much nail polish so it doesn’t take long for them to dry. Even if it isn't fully dry, its fine. You have 2 options, if it does overlap you can take it as a slight ombre effect. The second option is that are able to paint the next line so it doesn’t touch or overlap the previous color

  Step 6

  Up next is yellow. It does take some time and practice. Whether you have a steady hand or not, it doesn’t matter. Mine wasn’t completely perfect either. This can be design itself. Its how you want and like it to be (: Continue applying the rest of the colors onto your nails forming little lines across.

• 

  Step 7

  I painted green, blue, purple and pink.

• 

  Step 8

  This is how mine turned out.

  Then, wait for your nails to completely dry before moving onto the next step. This is just to prevent smudges from occurring.

• 

  Step 9

  Next, I paint the black nail polish vertically at both sides of the nail.

  The black nail polish will also help to cover up the messy parts of the colored ends if it wasn’t dabbed on neatly.

• 

  Step 10

  To end, apply a top coat on all your nails to seal in the design.

• 

  Step 11

  I also took a cotton bud and nail polish remover to remove any excess mess.

• 

  Step 12

  And that’s it for the this design, I hope you will like the it. I also hope that you will be able to understand my explanation. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! (:
