Go wild with these brightly colored drip-style nails

When it comes to nail art, why should you choose just one color when you can have them all? Sure, there's a time and a place for a chic and understated nail look — but there's also something to be said for having fun with your manicure. And nothing's as much fun as reaching for all the colors of the rainbow at once.
By combining patches of different colored rainbow stripes you can create a vibrant and retro nail art style. And while this pattern looks complex, it's actually surprisingly easy to recreate at home. The best part? You can substitute any shades you like to create your perfect, customized rainbow stripes.
