We love it when an already established beauty trend shows off its long legs and stays for more than one occasion! For instance, the rainbow nail trend was ushered in with the Pride Month but has managed to still remain popular with nail art enthusiasts. Given that you are bound to see more rainbows during the monsoons also makes for good timing for this trend to be demanding attention.

There are so many more ways to do the rainbow nail trend than what can be counted on your fingers - and there are the ones that are oh-so-cool right now!

Give the classic French manicure a modern twist by switching the white with vibrant rainbow hues. We love how colours are painted keeping popular mnemonic ‘VIBGYOR’ in mind: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red — the sequence of hues that make up the beautiful rainbow. Don’t forget to swipe on some glossy top coat for a ridiculously professional finish.
