Tools

I used:

• 'Collection 2000 103 French White'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 500 Disco Ball'
• 'Barry M 290 Spring Green'
• 'Collection 44 Parma Violet'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 030 Double Decker Red'
• 'Miss Beauty No. 21 Sunset'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 280 Sunshine'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 198 Azure'
• 'Collection 2000  Nail Care Top Coat'
• A tissue
• Nail varnish remover
• A small, metal banded paintbrush (plastic would dissolve!) - I used size 10/0

Step 1

Paint your nails white. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Paint over the white with a coat of sparkly. Try not to get too many sparkles on each nail or it will look cluttered.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint a balloon shape with the green on your thumbs. Position it slightly to one side to allow for the other balloon.

Step 4

Using the paintbrush, paint another balloon shape with the purple on your thumbs. If need be, repeat steps 3 and 4 with another coat of varnish.

Step 5

Add on the strings of the balloons using the black.

Step 6

Paint wavy lines on each of your other fingers for the streamers. I chose to do three on each finger but you can do as many or as few as you like. I also chose to do them in several colours but, if you want it to look more uniform, you could use different shades of one colour or two complementing colours.

Step 7

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.

Step 1

Paint the nails blue, using the 17 varnish. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

 Paint the three curved lines with the blue closest to the tip and the red furthest away. Make sure it reaches the edges of the nails. You may want to put white underneath it to make the rainbow stand out better.

Step 3

Paint on the cloud at the tip of the nail with the white, making it quite thick to ensure it completely covers the end of the rainbow.

Step 4

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.

Finished nails

Tools

I used:

• '17 Heartbeat'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 280 Sunshine'
• 'Collection 2000 103 French White'
• 'The Colour Workshop Purple Glaze'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 030 Double Decker Red'
• 'Barry M 54 Clear'
• A small dotting tool

Step 1

Paint the nails using a pastel shade. I used pale blue but any pastel/pale colour would work just as well. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Use the dotting tool to place yellow dots on your nails for the centers of the flowers. I did three on each nail (except the thumbs where I did 4) but you can do as many or as little as you would like, although too many would become crowded and ruin the effect. Make sure you leave enough space around them for the petals, unless you are doing loads and want them to overlap.

Step 3

Use the dotting tool to place 5 white dots around one of the yellow dots on each finger, to make the flowers. If you don't want to use the same colours as me then start with the palest colour as, if the petals end up overlapping, the paler colour will struggle to be seen over the darker ones.

Step 4

Use the dotting tool to place 5 pale pink dots around one of the yellow dots on each finger, to make the flowers. Again, if you aren't using the same colours as me, this should be your middle shade.

Step 5 

 Use the dotting tool to place 5 red dots around one of the yellow dots on each finger, to make the flowers. Again, if you aren't using the same colours as me, this should be your darkest colour.

Step 6

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.

Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
