Ahead, find 15 multi-colored "Skittle" nail ideas sure to brighten your day (and fingertips).

01 Negative Space French

Don't let your nails' negative space take up empty real estate. Instead, highlight the blanks with sharp shapes, all in unexpected shades.

02 Pastel Set

As the weather starts to warm up for summer, we’re embracing the bright colorsthat come with it. This manicure uses green, yellow, blue, pink, and purple for a vibrant, joyful look, but you can adapt the combo to feature a quintet of your choosing.

03 Dainty Dots

This two-tone French set is having a polka dot party. To recreate the look, brush the lighter color on the tip of your nails in an abstract curve first, then go over it with the darker shade on only half of the shape. Complete by adding spots with a dotting tool.

04 Half Moon French

Love French manicures but are looking for a change? Add half-moon art at the cuticle, drawing up and around the shape of your lower nail.

05 Outlined Art

One way to make your abstract nail art stand out from the crowd? Outline each shape with a thick border in a complementary tone of the same hue.

06 Baby Brights

Not quite neon, yet not quite pastel, these colors straddle the perfect balance between the two saturations.

07 Seeing Stars

Opal chrome finish always makes a statement, yet it becomes next-level when paired with bright, pop-style stars. Alternating the two-star colors, as seen above, or stick to the same shades on each nail.

08 Chromebré

Sunset hues, glistening chrome, and subtle ombré—what more could you ask for in a summer manicure?

09 Juicy Fruit

Opaque shades of lemon, watermelon, cherry, and orange burst onto your nails for a refreshing medley that works all summer long.

10 Long Multi-Color

We've said it once, and we'll say it again: Extra-long nails are ideal for those who love lots of nail art, as they provide extra space to doodle. This silver chrome set is all the proof you need.

11 Neon Blush

Subtle and romantic, airbrushed nails are a great way to dip your toe into the multi-colored trend without going full throttle. Complete with a peppering of rhinestones to up the glam factor further.

12 Watercolor Masterpiece

If allover neon is a bit too overwhelming for your personal style, consider a watercolor design. These barely-there nude nails are rather inconspicuous at first, but the artistic splashes of brights add a hint of excitement.

13 Checked Out

Seeing squares? Us too. And the checkboard print is unmistakable in these bright greens, blues, oranges, and pinks.
