19 Nail Ideas For Pride Month (That Aren't All Rainbows)

No basic French tips here! Add all the color, and go for diagonal lines to add even more intrigue to the look.

A little extra sparkle never felt more appropriate than during Pride Month.

Whatever your message for the month is, spell it out on your (multicolor) nails.

No base coat needed—drawing this nail-art mainstay on naked nails adds even more punch.

You don’t have to be skilled with a nail brush to recreate this dimensional nail art; simply let each color dry in between coats, and the final look will reveal itself.

You know how rainbows are curved, and round nail shapes are also curved? You probably know where we're going with this.

Gradient nail art looks so much more complicated than it really is—and alright, it's not easy per se, but a makeup sponge does make it possible.

Pick your favorite color from your flag to use as the base of your manicure, then brush on abstract lines using the other shades.

Trendy, celebratory, and easy enough to do on your own, rainbow tips are a go-to this year.

Add a bit of nostalgia with hand-painted daisies and wavy edges.

If just looking at nail art makes you feel drained, then keep your rainbow design to just one accent nail.

Shake up the average slanted French tip by asking for multiple colors per nail.

The Skittles nail art trend and Pride Month are a match made in colorful manicure heaven.

Paging all nail art newbies: With a drippy nail art design, it's supposed to look organic.

Not one for rainbows? Go for hearts instead. The simpler design works great with just one flag color, too.

It's a rainbow, it's a glitter, and it's as easy to paint on yourself as any other regular polish—win, win, win.

Unlike a gradient that goes from the top to bottom of a single nail, this design spans your entire hand, so you can really show off your skills (and patience).

Purple is one of the most meaningful colors on the Pride flag, representing spirit—and chances are high you already own a purple nail polish.

Go with whichever colors you'd like, then paint a message onto your non-dominant hand. (Longer nails work better here.)
