Rainbow After The Storm- Rainbow and Clouds Nail Design

Hello everyone! This year has been a horrible year for everyone! I will not sugar coat that at all, I don't know about all of you but I can't wait for this year to be over with and hopeful soon things can go back to normal. They do say that after a storm their is a rainbow, after this horrible of a stormy year hopefully that saying will come true. So today we will be creating a design based on that theme, just so we can maybe have some kind of hope in these hard time, even if it is just showing it on our nails.    

Rainbow and Clouds Nail Design 

 

 Here are the polish and nail art tools used to create this rainbow and clouds nail design:

 

 

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat, Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat, and NYC- Matte Me Crazy topcoat (this top coat is not longer made, but you can use any matte topcoat)

Nail polish- Finger paints- Tiffany imposter, Holo Taco Rainbow Collection; Red Licorice, Orange Drink, Lemon Sucker, Green Taffy, and Blue Freezie.(You only need a very small amount of these polishes.) 

Acrylic paint- white.

Nail art brushes- thin stripper brush, and large dotting tool.

Polish all of your nails with a light blue polish.

 

Let that dry.

Clouds on every nail:

 

The clouds will be done on all of the nails, just the middle and ring nail will have the rainbow and the other nails will just have the clouds. 

 

For the clouds take a large dotting tool with white paint on it make two dots at the top, one on each side and two more under those dots. I only made a few clouds on each nail, leaving a lot of blue showing.

 Rainbow on the middle and ring finger:

For the rainbow starting on the middle finger nail, make an arch with your thin stripper brush starting with red, then orange, yellow, green, and blue. Then do the same on the ring finger nail, trying to make sure things line up.  

 

Once you have your rainbow just right make a cloud on each end of the rainbow.

 

Now add a glossy top coat, and let that dry.

Once your glossy topcoat has dried apply a matte top coat over that, on the nails while trying to avoid the rainbow with the matte topcoat, make sure the rainbow is still shinny.

 

Their you have it the rainbow after the storm.

 

Hope all of you enjoyed this rainbow after the storm nail design and try to stay safe and healthy as best as you can and hopefully we will all see that rainbow soon!

 

See you next time for more nail fun!
