1

Prepare Your Nails

Start by removing any existing nail polish and shaping your nails to your desired length and shape. Push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher and gently buff the surface of your nails to create a smooth canvas for the nail art.

2

Apply a Base Coat

Apply a thin layer of a clear or nude polish as a base coat. This will protect your nails and provide a smooth surface for the nail art design to adhere to. Allow the base coat to dry completely.

3

Create the Unicorn Design

Using a small nail art brush or a dotting tool, create a rainbow pattern on each nail. Start by painting curved lines in different colors, such as pastel shades, from the base of the nail to the tip. Allow the rainbow lines to dry before proceeding.

4

Add Details

Once the rainbow lines are dry, use a fine-tipped nail art brush or a toothpick to add details such as stars, clouds, or hearts to the design. You can also use a glitter nail polish to enhance the magical effect. Allow the design to dry completely.

5

Apply a Top Coat

Finally, seal your unicorn nail art with a clear top coat. This will protect the design and provide a glossy finish. Ensure that each layer is completely dry before applying the top coat.
