Deciding on the nail colour you want to commit to each mani can be tricky business, but one trend giving you an ‘out’ are the rainbow nails we’ve been seeing everywhere. Instead of being limited to one single colour, the trend offers an opportunity to get playful with all the shades you’re vibing with.
Rainbow nails have been gaining in popularity over the last few years. And although they started as simply a different shade of polish on each nail, we’ve seen them become even more creative lately with rainbow French tips, ombre rainbow nails, chrome rainbow, tie-dye rainbow, rainbow accents, and so much more.
With maximalism, self-expression and personalisation all on the agenda for 2025, they also happen to be bang on trend, especially if you want an antidote to clean, minimal milky nails.
So, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite ways to wear rainbow nails below…
