Neon Nails

Hey everyone! Here is a fun nail design that I like to do and people always ask where I got them done at! They are always so surprised when I tell them I did them myself. I typically like to do this design in the summer because it is so bright. Even though it's getting really chilly where I am, summer is not quite over just yet! There are still a couple days of summer left to have fun with a neon nail design!


You Will Need:

• Neon nail color 
• Black nail polish
• A white nail brush
• Top Coat

Start off with a bright color nail polish. I used HOT TUB from Urban Outfitters. If you have never bought polish from UO, check them out! They have great nail colors to choose from and at a relatively cheap price.

Next paint your ring finger and thumb with the black polish. You can switch up the fingers that you put the stripes on. Also, if you don't have the thin nail art brushes, you can use a Sharpie marker as an alternative. Just make sure to paint your nails white instead and then use the Sharpie to make black stripes.

To make the design a little more interesting I painted one finger with vertical stripes and one finger with horizontal stripes. 

Make sure that when you apply the top coat to the nails with stripes on them, you are not going against the direction of the stripes. This can create the colors to bleed which is never fun.

Another great thing about this design is that even if you don't make the lines perfectly straight (which I am convinced is impossible), your nails will still look fabulous! It is the color block and contrast of black and white that makes them pop so don't freak out if you can't get the stripes right.

Yay! Now you have a super cool nail design that everyone will love! I have also done this design in yellow instead of pink and it looked really cool too!

Thanks for reading!!
