Oh Mon Dieu 2 - Rainbow

Hello lovelies!

Okay, so random question but have any of you guys ever tried painting your nails in bed? If you have, teach me your ways! My mom needed the table that I normally paint my nails and blog at for her garage sale this weekend and she's trying to sell our kitchen table....so, we don't have any tables in the house...which is why I'm trying to paint my nails in bed and failing miserably! #nailbloggerproblems?

Anywho, onto the nails!

Today's theme is all about rainbows! I don't think I've ever done rainbow nails before so yay for new things (:

Here's what I used:


And obviously rainbow nails are really just an excuse to wear ALL of the polishes at once. I mean why only wear one color when you can wear eight+ colors at the same time? Genius!

Each nail started with 2 coats (3 on my middle finger) of their respective color and some topcoat. I based my color choices off of ROYGBIV so I picked the color that followed the base colors for my stripes. The stripes were freehanded on with a striping brush and sealed in with topcoat! My pinky just got a layer of glitter and topcoat.

My photos are back to normal with this post too. I realized that I unknowingly had started moving my hand closer to my camera which was making the lighting harsh and my past couple of photos dark, but I fixed it! Woo, pretty nails and pretty pictures!

Here's the challenge graphics:

And a song for today:

Thanks for reading guys!

  1. Lovely rainbow. I used to paint my nails in bed all the time. You don't get very neat results and have to do a lot of clean up afterwards. I hold the bottle between my knees and put my hands on my thigh or I use a big old sturdy book for support.

  8. Thank you! I tried using an old laptop box but slowly after time I just ended up slouching down further and further haha. Luckily, I was only doing a glitter gradient so it wasn't too too messy!
