Rainbow Nails interview with nail designer Stefanie
Our expert will tell you how you can make the cool rainbow look suitable for everyday use, which length her customers prefer to choose for this colorful nail design and which shape really brings out the style:
Are the Rainbow Nails popular in the studio?
Nail designer Stefanie: “In fact, the Rainbow Nails in a wide variety of variations are a favorite of our customers - they are very popular not only on their fingernails, but also on their toenails.”
Which rainbow nails are suitable for everyday use?
Nail designer Stefanie: “If the job allows it, I think rainbow nails in pastel shades are a good way to make the look delicate and still have a colorful nail design. Even very thin French lines or decorative colorful lines under the actual white French are a subtle way to achieve the colorful look. A very good alternative are the Rainbow Nails in trendy colors on the toenails - here most customers have a free choice and can, for example, opt for bright neon colors in the summer."
What are your personal favorite colors for rainbow nails?
Nail designer Stefanie: “I am an absolute fan of the pastel colors mentioned above, I just find them suitable for many occasions. For the summer, I also think neon colors and powerful tones like coral or pink are really beautiful as part of the Rainbow Nails.”
Which shape and length is best for the rainbow look?
Nail designer Stefanie: “Most customers choose a little longer for the rainbow nails so that the beautiful colors can be shown to advantage. The almond shape is particularly popular at the moment to give nails a fresh touch.”
DIY: Make your own rainbow nail design with nail polish
“For beginners in nail design and for everyone who likes things uncomplicated, I recommend implementing the rainbow nails as a full cover. You can easily create this look with different colored nail polishes and change it at any time to suit your mood,” says our nail designer Stefanie. For a simple rainbow full cover - one of the rainbow colors on each nail - all you need is five different nail polish colors of your choice and you can start painting it colorfully! Of course, this look can also be achieved with gel, acrylic, shellac or UV nail polish - for this you need special equipment and some experience, but the durability of these nail designs is fantastic!

7 steps to the perfect rainbow ombré nails
You can easily do rainbow nails in an ombré look yourself at home with a little practice and the right equipment. After each gel application, the nails are completely hardened under the UV light (please refer to the respective product for exact instructions on duration).
-
Prepare nails carefully
Prepare your nails thoroughly, remove any gel or nail polish residue and excess cuticles. Bring the nails into your desired shape and buffer them.
-
Apply primer thinly
Apply the primer thinly and let it dry - it ensures the connection between the natural nail and the following nail modeling.
-
Apply adhesive gel
After the primer, apply the adhesive gel according to the instructions.
-
Apply baby boomer lace in the color of your choice
Choose the color you want and draw a line at the tip of your nail with a nail design brush. You can use the Ombré Tool to design the color gradient and softly blur the tip of your color towards your nail moon.
-
Apply make-up gel
For a smooth color gradient, apply the MakeUp Gel to the entire nail - including over the colorful French.
-
1-phase gel rosé for modeling
Then apply the modeling gel and let it harden before filing it into the shape you want.
-
Rainbow finish with sealing gel
Finally, cover the nail with the finish gel. This offers protection and ensures a breathtaking shine for your Rainbow Nails.
Nail art for professionals 🍭 Rainbow nails with stripers
Experienced nail designers can of course easily apply the rainbow look to the nails using fine stripers as they wish - there are no limits to your imagination! The nail art stripers are special long-haired brushes that are ideal for adding delicate accents and patterns to the nails by hand. You can use them to put lines on the nail just as easily as dots, arches and other geometric or ornamental patterns. With the stripers you can make your rainbow nails particularly unique and precise, because they are characterized by elastic dimensional stability. Fine rainbow accents are particularly beautiful with a nude base color of the nail - this way the bright colors come into their own and still look elegant.
