20 Non-Basic Pride Nail Designs to Spark Joy
Pride isn't only for one month of the year—though, if you're unaware, June is the official month for Pride events. But who said you had to wait until June to express your pride or your support? Fortunately, there are many of ways to get revved up before the festivities. If you're familiar with Pride, you'll know that excess is the season's buzzword—from hairstyles to clothing to nails.

And if you're sick of seeing only the same old rainbow nail art, we searched the web for 20 of the greatest designs that are as extravagant and loud as the joyful celebrations. Scroll on to find inspiration for your next salon visit.
