Celebrate Pride Month with Cheerful Nail Designs!

In celebration of Pride Month, I thought it would be fun to look into the meaning of the pride flag. It's not just visually striking; each color has significance: hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic, blue for harmony, and violet for spirit. Gilbert Baker, the creator of the pride flag, explained the rationale behind its design.

“We needed something to express our joy, our beauty, our power. And the rainbow did that,” he said.

With that in mind, I decided to create nail art that features the vibrant colors of the pride flag. It's a joyful way to celebrate with friends and family. The rainbow colors spread happiness, and these cheerful nail designs are sure to lift your spirits.

Here are some happy nail designs to inspire you!
