3 Tips for Applying Neon Nail Polish
Check out this advice on applying neon nail paint for an eye-catching look without making mistakes before we get into some fashionable neon nail ideas.
Tip #1: Start With Your Dominant Hand
Always paint your dominant hand’s nails first while doing your own. When painting with your non-dominant hand, you’re more prone to make mistakes, so by doing things in this order, you’ll still have your dominant hand available to fix them.
Tip #2: Keep Cotton Swabs Nearby
Simply put, this is an excellent general rule for all nail looks. When painting your nails, having cotton swabs and nail polish remover on hand makes it simple to clean off any lacquer that spills onto your fingers. A little paintbrush dipped in makeup remover can also be extremely useful for greater accuracy.
Tip #3: Apply a White Base Coat
Before using your brightest nail color, cover your nails with white first because neon nail lacquer is sometimes transparent. By doing this, your colorful nail polish will stand out without needing a ton of layers.

Glow In The Dark Neon Stripes
While you can certainly make a statement by keeping things simple regarding neon nails, we understand you may want to kick things up a notch.

Abstract Neon Nails
An abstract pattern can be up your alley if you’re attempting neon nail art on your own because the look’s nature allows you to hide flaws. Choose two or three neon nail polish hues, and either uses them as the base color or as fast strokes on top of a white background. With these striking colors, you can be your greatest nail artist.
‘70s Neon Pop Art
We needed to include pop art of the 1970s to talk about neon nail art designs! It’s the ultimate go-to for fun summer nails that are bright and Instagrammable. You can give every other nail an excellent method for a few accent nails or go all out and paint each nail with bold and striking pop art elements.
Multiple Neon Nail Colors
Who said you had to settle on one neon shade? Rather than sticking with one, try five! Seriously—with the neon nail trend at its height, there’s no good time to give yourself a neon rainbow mani. Paint each nail a different neon shade to get the look.

Neon Memphis Print
Memphis print is back in style and used in nail art, graphic design, and clothing. We adore this version of neon nail paint in vivid colors for a cute and whimsical design.
Fuchsia and Orange Nails
Brighter is better! For a sunny manicure design, combine fuchsia and vivid orange color. This creates a relaxed, flawed, and enjoyable atmosphere. Some nails are more orange, while others are more fuchsia.
Speckled Neon Nails
This nail art’s vivid colors pop even more against black! You may apply the concept to any bright color, but pink and orange work particularly nicely together.
Neon Rainbow Nails
When it comes to nail art, the rainbow is always a fabulous option. This multi-color, multi-nail design combines bright yellow, green, orange, red, and purple hues for the ultimate fluorescent design.
