[@anitabruzelius3905]

I did this one yesterday with neons... so cool and fun! thanks for the inspiration...

[@calichef1962]

Oh, Colette! This is LOVELY!!! One of my favorite rainbow manis ever!

[@nailsbyosta1269]

I like this version better as well. I especially like the way the Criss cross design gets more abstract as it was built. It gives it a triangular pattern, if that makes any sense! Thanks for trying an alternate version!! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

[@rosepearlart]

very pretty and amazing

[@suzbrh]

I love this! I like that you didn’t give up on the design. Great job!

[@MsButterflysting]

Really great result! I think that's why I don't do thin lines on my non -dominant hand so well, I'm not using guidelines or dots I should say. Awesome! Love the way you explain your technique & your voice is very calming, new sub just for those reasons. 😀

[@MSLP]

aw, thank you

[@jackiejackiebootysmackie]

Wasn't sure how I was going to like this but I really do. It looks so good.

[@ssue4q]

I love these These are really really pretty. Again you're so good with your placement of color I love that you ended with the Bold purple or blue really makes the whole design pop thanks for sharing

[@mssixty3426]

Wow, your precision/skill with the liner brush is impressive. Love this design, thank you 😁

[@loridodge3812]

Very pretty design

[@TrigunKittie]

I really like this one! It kind of reminds me of a prism.

[@MSLP]

yes! that was part of my inspiration

[@AbbeyKat]

Looks great! I would like it a little more spaced out with white in between each color, but other than that tiny detail, I love it! Wish I could do this on myself but I can’t paint a straight line to save my life lol

[@SuHu62]

I still love these colors.

[@yolandamunoz8548]

I think it looks amazing, i love all of the colors you used for the strips.

[@susiefreckleface7087]

hi Colette, your hands and nails look so perfect. this is a lovely design.

[@harrisonia]

OMG, I only saw the first two or three frames and said that is a gorgeous design! 💅🏽🎨🌈😎

[@MichelleLewis1969]

Omgoodness!! This is a beautiful way to set off the summer! I picked up some great KL Polishes and think I can pull this off with those I got. I love her Havana Heat colors, so I hope it'll come out good :) Thanks for the tutorial! Really inspiring!

[@JuMaRi615]

Those are cute. I don't think I could do both hands like that

[@BrittMFH]

Julia Rickett I know. Maybe just a nice accent nail!

[@southpaw8276]

Awesome!!! Bravo!!! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jordang7479]

I just realized that food wished is the cooking equivalent to your channel

[@jaykb6587]

There are a lot of rainbow designs out now. Yours is my favorite! I can see that I could do this with stamping. It would be a lot of work, but doable. 😁. Sunshine crowded in to watch, but... No Clark today.😔

[@sharonkeller7397]

I love both the striping designs you created. The first one you did with the dark background was gorgeous. You said it didn't have enough space in between colors to see the background. I think the best way to achieve that is to put less colors so there it space in between for the base to show. That's just my thinking. As I said, I love them both very much. Have a good day!! :)

[@MISSDEEDEVINE1]

Very pretty... you always do a fantastic job on your nails

[@inagoodwin2157]

Very rainbow 🌈 Mani it’s beautiful 😍❤️

[@brendalyons5719]

Awesome!! So talented

[@aprilbennett6280]

pretty as always

[@kathistufflebean1406]

As usual I love it! You do such good work. This is one I will have to try soon.

[@KayLilia]

Beautiful

[@philtirah]

I'm so glad you turned me onto seche vite in your vids. I know it's toxic as all hell and you shouldn't use it if your are pregnant or planning to get pregnant but.....WOW. So thick and glossy and dries so quick. I have a pinkie with a lump right at the tip of the finger that doesn't always get filled in with polish and base coat, it's so deep. I ring I can use seche vite to build up the area and, because it levels out so well and it's the too runny, it make it disappear! Thanks!

[@janetsimmons2815]

I love love how this turned out!!! I'm definitely going to be trying this!!! As always I love your videos and nail art!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@philtirah]

Wow, somebody went shopping at Sally's and I had a wonderful time :-)

[@SH125]

I love this..gotta try it!!

[@elainetucker6960]

Your nails are so pertty..I love trying new nail art looks and I like yours this is some I will try to do but it won't be easy because I have kinda long nails

[@MSLP]

I think for this design, long nails would make it even a bit easier to space the lines out

[@ILoveBtown]

Uhhh I love this!!! Thanks for sharing the creative process yesterday :). I can't wait to join MSLD!

[@MSLP]

thank you, I'm really digging how it turned out!

[@SimplyKewi]

beautiful

[@DrkNSwt]

Love the colors

[@geminimom]

That turned out really cute!! Thanks for sharing❤❤

[@caribprincess9909]

Love it

[@ramblinanna2172]

Very cute, thanks for sharing!

[@kimberlyhaller5356]

Lovely job!

[@MoonBabyNails]

Love this!

[@janismhart6641]

I like this!

[@monagurl1973]

Thank you

[@tookierl]

Love it!

[@Mrslorri1]

Very pretty! I would probably quit around the third color though and probably just some accent nails. My patience is short, lol! Your nails look really pretty MSLP. Thx for sharing :^)

[@tialin..9312]

Cool! You have steadier hands than I do! Ha ha I was about to run off to Sally’s when I saw the FP green at the beginning, it looked an awesome deep bottle green color, but it’s so much lighter on the nail. Oh well!

[@loca4nailz402]

I love it

[@spencerallegra]

Until a couple years ago when I started watching nail tutorials and actually heard ‘orly’ said, I always thought it was pronounced like ‘oh really?’

[@samf63]

Very beautiful!! I trust your adorable furbaby is doing well?

[@MSLP]

yes, he's doing great!

[@charondamotley9275]

cute😊

[@EssenceofPolish]

I wanted to comment in the stream chat that i think the layered watermarble would turn out too dark but i didnt want to sound like a know-it-all lol i definitely wanted you to experiment and try it for yourself its just that my prediction was that it would be too dark.. I've done double watermarble manicures before and it works better with sheer colors or at least one sheer..can you give it another try with sheer colors in your next stream!??! 😊

[@MSLP]

I don't know if I'll try it again next stream, but I would like to try it again eventually

[@robinhanff4248]

Love it!![

[@Oonagh72]

So cool. The only change (person preference) I would have started with the purple and ended with the blue, because it is so strong, it slightly over powers the look. However it’s my new favorite pride nails. Reminds me of the Pink Floyd album cover prism.

[@MSLP]

prisms, and how light refracts throught them, was part of my inspiration!

[@عليالشحي-ه2م]

Oonagh72 sop

[@demilzaaparecidasantosapar5524]

Lindas

[@lshulman58]

Love it! Though looks like it must have been very time consuming

[@melissaa4168]

Yup

[@5MinuteNailArt]

Fantastic! My lines would be so shaky!

[@rebeccaconley9656]

Naked nails looking FLAWLESS ❤💛💜🧡💙

[@MSLP]

no breaks! for the first time in I don't know how long

[@karengant2555]

Da bomb!

[@jordang7479]

I really need to get a green and a yellow so I can do rainbow nails. I have all the other colors

[@elainetucker6960]

Something I'm sorry my computer has a mind of it's own and it caused me to make a word skip a beat lol

[@JJMedusa]

Colette, I sent you an e-mail a while ago, but I didn't hear back - maybe you didn't see it, or perhaps it went into junk/spam. Anyway, I have a bunch of new (regular) nail polish that I've been keeping for a long time & I've resigned myself to the fact that I will never actually use it, because I just tend to get gel manicures these days. If you are interested, let me know.

[@MsButterflysting]

J.J. Medusa I'd like to take them off your hands, if I was close by & she didn't. In AK. We, my daughters & I, lost all of our polishes & am rebuilding our little collection of regular products in addition to learning new ways i.e. gels & stamping. Lucky, I bet she'd take them or do a giveaway? But that's regifting. Hmm. Oh well cheers!

[@MSLP]

my email is such a disaster LOL - I'll look and see if I can find yours and reply back

[@JJMedusa]

[@nevernakednailsnailart2955]

This ones really cool too but I did like the one last week .. tfs .. Jill
