The latest look for nails is all about neon brights. From pops of pink to brilliant blues, this new trend is not for those who can’t handle some serious wattage on their fingers and toes. While I’m not brave enough to step outside with neon nails just yet, there are some ways you can test drive these hot new colors without looking like a representative for Day-Glo.
#3 Neon Nails Tip: Find the Appropriate Color
Not everyone can rock a neon green or yellow polish, but it’s safer to say that a hot pink or wild coral is much easier to work into your style. Your skin tone will dictate the right shade for you. If you have cool undertones, go with greens, blues, and purples. If you’re undertones are warm, head in the direction of pinks, oranges, and yellows.
#2 Neon Nails Tip: Test Them on Your Toes
Most of us work in environments where we may not be able to express ourselves in crazy ways. The best thing to do is test the color out on your toes. At your next pedicure appointment, try out the neon shade you’ve been eyeing for weeks and if you don’t like it, you can just cover it up with a sexy pair of stilettos.
#1 Neon Nails Tip: Tone it Down
Even though most people just wear the polish straight from the bottle, you can always tone the color down by mixing in some white lacquer. It will bring the brightness level down just enough so that you can still wear your sexy shade without getting too much attention.
What’s fun about neon nails is that it’s non-committal and doesn’t cost loads of money to try out. You just might find that you like a little shine!
