Perfect Neon Nails {A Step-By-Step Tutorial}

Step Two: Add White Polish
 Now for the fun part! Go through your nail polish collection and choose your favorite neon polish. My all-time favorite neons are Face Stockholm (Sadly it was limited edition for JCrew), Orly Fancy Fuschia, Orly Glow Stick, Orly Mayhem Mentality, and Orly Va Va Voom! Obviously, I think that Orly makes some incredible neons, but I’ve been tempted to pick up China Glaze’s new neon cream polish set!

 Today I reached for Orly’s Mayhem Mentality, an incredibly bright neon tangerine cream polish. I wish my camera would show how intense this color really is. It is NEON and way brighter in person.

I can’t have a post on neon nail polish and not show off Orly’s Glow Stick. This polish is the definition of neon, and while you may think it’s a little scary in the bottle…just put it on your nails. I get more compliments on this nail polish than almost anything I own.

Step Four: Add a Glossy Top Coat
Neon polishes tend to have a dull matte finish, so add your shiniest top coat! I’m so happy that I finally decided to try Seche Vite. It’s life changing- thin, super easy to apply, and incredibly shiny.
