If there’s anything the LGBTQIA+ community has taught us, it’s that self-expression in itself is an art form. It is free to take on any shape, colour, pattern—as long as there’s liberation in the process. And with that, our talons are easily the best canvases. These days, there are no limits when it comes to donning on longer-than-life claws or opting for 3D-illusion on your nail beds. It’s a fun, non-committal way to add some drama to your daily life, or if you simply desire something more covert, there’s a nail art design for you out there as well.
This Pride month, take the opportunity to show your support and allyship with the community by sporting a minimalistic rainbow across the nails, or take it up a notch with some chrome detailing over bright multi-coloured hues. Want something fun yet practical? Spruce up a neutral manicure with holographic sparkles and glitter that’ll go with every outfit imaginable for all the Pride month parties, or let the nails do all the talking with some simple lettering to show your love.
So whether or not you’re looking to accentuate a specific Pride month outfit with your nails, or elevate your everyday look, it’s all embracing bold colours that’ll give you more room for experimentation and channelling authentic self-expression. With that in mind, we’ve pieced together a few Pride month nail art styles to try out, from bold ombre hues to intricate detailing. See them all, below.
