Black Rainbow Nails

There are two designs shown in this picture. Here are the steps to the first design:

  1. Paint all nails with two coats of black polish, like Essie Licorice.
  2. Allow nails to dry.
  3. Paint a thick coat of rainbow sparkles, such as OPI Rainbow Connection, over each nail.
  4. Add a clear top coat.
These are the steps for the second design:

  1. Select three bright polishes and two metallic polishes. (I used OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui, OPI Dim Sum Plum, OPI Purple With A Purpose, OPI Designer De Better, and OPI Bling Dynasty)
  2. Start with one color, painting a thin layer over a portion of each nail.
  3. Add a second coat to each patch of polish.
  4. Repeat this process with each of your five colors until your entire nail is painted.
  5. Allow the polish to dry.
  6. Paint a very thin layer of OPI Black Shatter over each nail (Sally Hansen Crackle or Sephora Blasted will also work).
  7. When the shatter dries, you will have a rainbow leopard print design on your nails.
  8. Finish with two coats of clear polish.
