Pansexual Pride Nails Tutorial

Hello, beautiful creatures! Happy Pride Month! It’s also my birthday month. Today I’m sharing my Pansexual Pride Nails tutorial that I created. I’ve identified as bisexual for most of my life, but I’m also comfortable identifying as pansexual. This is my first time making anything pansexual-related, as I usually prefer the bisexual flag colors. I love how these nails turned out, so I included a step-by-step tutorial on creating pansexual pride nails. Also, happy Indie Friday! I’m delighted that I can get an indie feature up today.

I purchased everything because I love to fling money at high-quality indie brands. All opinions are my own.

Pansexual Pride Nails Tutorial

1. Size the Daily Charme White Full Coverage Short Almond tips to my nails. 11 for the pinky, 2 for the thumb, 8 for the index and ring, and 7 for the middle.
2. Prep the full coverage tips with Apres Non-Acidic Gel-X Prep.
3. Use the Mooncat Boundary Pusher to push my cuticles back and clean up the cuticles. Boundary Pusher is my favorite nail tool!
4. Gently remove shine from the nails with Makartt 180/100 grit nail file on the more delicate side.
5. Remove any dust from the nails with the Daily Charme Dark Unicorn Brush.
6. Dehydrate the nails with isopropyl alcohol.
7. Prime the nails with Orly Nail Tip Primer. This bottle lasts me a long time.
8. Apply a thin coat of Orly Builder in a Bottle to all nails.
9. Adhere the tips with a bubblegum gel. I used ENC Clear Bubblegum. Clean up around the cuticles if there is any spillage using a silicone tool.
10. Cure in the led lamp for 60 seconds.
11. Lightly shape the nails with the Makartt 180/100 grit file and carefully e-file the cuticle area. 
12. Use a bottle of dedicated iGel No-Wipe top coat and apply a thin layer to each nail as a sticky base for the Melt Radioactive Palette eyeshadows.
13. Apply Melt Radioactive (neon pink) with an eyeshadow sponge to the thumb and 1/2 of the index finger.
14. Use Melt Neon (neon yellow) with an eyeshadow sponge for the middle finger, 1/2 of the index, and 1/2 of the ring finger.
15. Apply Melt Arsenic (neon teal blue) with an eyeshadow sponge to the pinky and 1/2 of the ring finger.
16. Cure for 30 seconds.
17. Apply Daily Charme No-Wipe Chrome Effect gel to all nails and cure for 60 seconds.
18. Buff Daily Charme Unichrome Unicorn Chrome onto all the nails with an eyeshadow sponge and cure for 30 seconds.
19. Apply a thin layer of Daily Charme 5-in-1 Strengthening gel to each nail and cure for 60 seconds.
20. Buff Daily Charme Dreamy Fairy Dust into the nail with an eyeshadow sponge and cure for 30 seconds.
21. Apply a thin layer of dedicated iGel No-Wipe top coat and cure for 30 seconds.
22. Finish with Daily Charme Diamond Shine No-Wipe Top coat and cure for 30 seconds.

Iridescent Neon Pastel Nails

As promised, I included a close-up of my custom wedding ring that Dave and I designed with a local indie jeweler, Eternity Jewelers. I highly recommend them for their custom work.

See all the details about the gothic wedding of my dreams to Dave.

Visit my Instagram to see a video of this manicure in action! The Unichrome unicorn chrome iridescence is stunning, especially when combined with the Dreamy Fairy Dust glitter.

Neon Pigments

If you don’t have a ton of eyeshadows as I do and you need some neon pigments, Daily Charme has a great selection of neons for nail art. I’m sad that the Melt Radioactive Palette was a limited edition because it’s such a gorgeous palette. See swatches and looks of the Melt Radioactive collection.

I plan to do a bisexual pride manicure next. Are there any other pride flags you’d like to see as a nail art tutorial? Let me know! How are you planning to celebrate Pride month?
