After attempting a rainbow French manicure recently (and getting lots of compliments on it!), I got inspired to find more rainbow nail art designs to try. There's just something really fun about having a rainbow at your fingertips as you go through life. We may be "adults" but we don't have to be so serious all the time, right?

With that in mind, I found a bunch of pretty rainbow manicure designs. They're perfect for Pride month, or any time of the year! I've included links to tutorials for the trickier-looking ones, but for the most part, these are all pretty easy to do.

Which one is your favorite?
