I was inspired to paint my nails a cute, pastel rainbow after spotting lots of multi-coloured pastel looks on Instagram recently. All I can say is, why have I not done this before? Rather than have to decide on one colour you can pick five (or even ten) of your favourites- genuis! I did both hands the same, but if I can find ten shades that look good together I might do every nail differently next time.

I did two coats of each polish for full opacity, being pastel colours they're all a tad streaky but I think that's to be expected with lighter coloured nail polish. Although I liked it as it was I decided to go with Revlon's Nail Enamel in Stunning as a glitter top coat to tie everything together. I think the trick to getting this multi coloured look just right is to choose shades with a similar finish, as Essie's 'We're in it Together' has a bit of a shimmery sheen to it I used that for the thumb (although if you're using a glitter top coat you can probably get away with using slightly different finishes). I know this manicure won't be for everyone but I have to say I like it a lot!  It's the perfect solution when you can't decide what shade to go for, and if you can't have a pastel rainbow on your nails on a lovely spring day like today then when can you?

What are your favourite pastel polishes?
