Nail Art Step by Step: Pride Rainbow Nails

Bring some spring sunshine to clients' nails this Pride Month with these bright rainbow step-by-step nail art design created by Salon System nail expert Julie-Anne Larivière.

Step One

File the nails to shape, push the cuticles back with the Gellux Cuticle Handy Manicure Tool and gently buff the surface of the nails with a white block. 

Thoroughly wipe nails with Gellux Nail + File Cleansing Spray and a lint free pad. When the nails are dry, apply Gellux Fast Bond and let dry for 30 seconds. Next apply one very thin layer of the Gellux Builder Gel in Light Natural (one thin layer then one thicker making sure to build an apex). 

Cure in between coats for 60 seconds.

Step Two

Using a fine liner nail art brush dipped into Gellux Shout It Out, paint a small half-moon in the corner of each nail.

Cure under a UV or LED lamp for 30 seconds.

Step Three

Now dip your fine liner in to Gellux Wild Style, and paint a stripe following the half-moon you previously created, cure for 30 seconds.

Step Four

Repeat the step three process with the remaining colours: Gellux Wow Factor, Gellux It's an Attitude and Gellux Dare To Wear cure for 60 seconds. 

Step Five

Finish off the rainbow arches with a strip of Gold Flexi-Tape.

Step Six

Finally, apply Gellux Mirror Glaze Top Coat and cure again. Wipe nails with Gellux Prep + Wipe and Gellux Nail & Cuticle Oil to finish your bright rainbow inspired nails.
