#1. Bright Plum and Pearl

These nails are made with a bright plum nail polish - the perfect mix of bold and beautiful! We paired it with a pearly pink to help balance and tone the neon purple.

When you think of coquette nails, you might think of pastels, beiges, and whites. However, these nails put a spin on that trendy look. With bright coral, pastel pink, and bright white, this mix of colors is both neon and classy!

#3. Love Potion

If you're used to neon nails just being a single coat of electric yellow nail polish, then these complex and creative nails will blow your mind. From the deep purple to the mandarin orange to the blazing pink, this eye-catching nail design is for any and every one.

The milky white base coat is a great way to help the colors pop!

#4. Cobalt Blue Nail Art

Consider your next at-home manicure as your next art project with our "Blue Glue" nail polish. This cobalt blue is highly pigmented and full coverage, meaning it'll give you a seamless and smooth finish. Plus, the use of black and white for some detailing adds a lovely level of contrast to the overall look.

#5. Squiggly

Are you looking for an Instagram-worthy manicure? This swirly and abstract manicure is a surefire way to turn heads and catch eyes. These bold stripes and bright colors are as unique as they are trendy!

#6. Spread Your Wings!

Butterfly nail art is classy, creative, and colorful - but these nails take it to a whole new level. The pastel orange, neon pink, and dark lavender create an ombre effect that helps the details really stand out.

#7. Abstract Floral Nail Designs

Neon nails are often edgy, vibrant, and (at times) over-the-top. But if you enjoy nail designs that are minimalistic, subtle, or cute, then these nails are for you. The splotches of neons (including neon green, pink, and orange) stand out against the clear base coat, and the dainty florals add some contrast to your fingertips!

#8. Lavender & Orange

Lavender and orange are a color combination that you don't see every day. Though these colors are classified as "neon", it's the wavy and distorted checkerboard pattern is what really makes the look one-of-a-kind.

#9. Neon Orange French Tips

If you know anything about us, it's that we adore a clean and crisp French tip. And this neon orange French tip is no exception! The multi-layered French tip paired with a clear base coat is what helps the neon orange really pop.
