Neon Nails Are in -- Bye-Bye Nude

Comments (5)

Last spring it was all about nude or putty-colored nail polishes. Now it is time to up the color wattage on your nails with neon polishes! Ciara has been spotted out and about rocking this trend. Now you can wear it, too!

The best thing about wearing such bright colors on your fingers is that your nails don't have to coordinate with the rest of your outfit. It doesn't have to be so matchy-matchy, as Ciara as illustrated for us. Bright nails are an easy way to add a pop of color to any outfit. Plus, they're a conversation starter!
Before reaching for the brightest color that you can find, though, here are a few tips to keep in mind. When wearing such an attention-getting color, it is best to let the color take all the shine and not the length of your nails. Keep your nails short in a squarish oval or "squoval" shape.
To make the polish as bright as possible and minimize all the coats needed, just swipe one coat of white polish over your base coat before you apply the polish. We like China Glaze White on White ($5.99, sallybeauty.com).

Ready to for some color? Here are a few blindingly bright suggestions.
China Glaze Pool Party ($8, naildepot.com) is a good match for the color that Ciara is wearing above.

Essie Funky Limelight, ($8, thebeautyclutch.com) is yellow-highlighter bright.

China Glaze Towel Boy Toy ($5.99, sallybeauty.com) is the color of blue Caribbean water.

Essie Perky Purple ($8, beautysak.com) is a neon-fuchsia purple.

China Glaze Kiwi Cool-Ada's ($5.99, sallybeauty.com) is anything but cool. In fact, this neon green is hot, hot, hot!
