I am head over heels for the neon and neutral trend that's floating around the fashion world right now. I've failed miserably at finding neon pieces. Everywhere I go, I'm looking - but no such luck. So I've turned to my nails. I grabbed two of my favorite colors - a neon and a neutral - and got to painting.
Essie's Cute as a Button and Jazz
I first tried out a more subtle approach - one neon tip. It's simple:
1. Paint your nails your favorite neutral color.
2. Place a strip of tape over your nail leaving a small tip at the top.
3. Paint the tip, let it dry, and remove tape.
Ta-dah!
If you'd like a little more neon in the mix, go ahead and just paint the whole nail neon.
I also think a neon yellow or orange would have looked fantastic.
