Play with watercolour stripes: Try experimenting with rainbow hues in the form of watercolour stripes. The look of wavy, painterly stripes of dark blue, coral and white can easily transform your nails. Meanwhile, elongated, rectangular fingernails help to create a perfect canvas for the burst of colours.
