A skilled nail technician can, obviously, create this look for you in the salon.

Be prepared that this will take some trial and error too, so be as patient as possible.

The first step is adding your clear base coat.

Raindrop nails with green base

When choosing a polish for this trend, a matte top coat is recommended.

If your nails are too wet when they’re applied, the drops may slide and lose their shape.

Then, let the top coat drip down and land on your nail in a dollop shape.

You do not need to add a top coat over the raindrops.

Once they are on, just let them dry fully to avoid smudging.

That’s it, you’re all set!
