Neon nails have been a popular manicure style for decades and for good reasons. Made up of vibrant shades, the look is versatile and eye-catching, ready to turn your birthday nails or a casual, everyday manicure into your most stylish accessory. Maximalists won’t be able to resist hopping on the trend, as it utilizes a bright color palette that stands out in a big way. No matter what your aesthetic is, neon nails can translate into any design as they only require a single shade.
There are countless ways to incorporate neon nail polish into your manicure. If you’re looking for on-trend examples, Julie Kandalec, founder of Julie Nail Academy and celebrity nail artist whose clients include Joe Jonas, Emily Blunt, and more, says aura nails and geometric neon-nail designs are both great. Her personal favorites include neon french manicure and jelly nails.
“Instead of traditional white, these nails pop with bright neon colors on the tips,” Kandalec tells PS. “It’s a super fun way to jazz up your nails and add a splash of color that goes with everything.”
