Neon Pink Nail Polishes: Ten of the Best

Neon Pink Nail Polishes: Ten of the Best

If we were to list two nail trends that made waves in 2018, they would have to be glitter nails and neon nails. Taking us back to the 1980s, a place where many of us hoped never to return, these bedazzling nail trends may have taken many of us by surprise, but neon colours are here to stay my fellow manicure aficionados, and if you want to stay on trend for the coming season, its time to ditch the red and dabble with a bit of neon pink!

Having already done neon nail polish the first time round, I have to admit that I wasn’t overly keen on delving into the world of neon brights for a second time. But after seeing the gorgeous shades released by Shellac, OPI and China Glaze this year, my fears of neon nail polished floated  away along with my distant memories of rah-rah skirts, ankle warmers, and the toe-tapping tunes of Culture Club.

The neon nail polishes of today are colour rich, made to last, and available in a veritable rainbow of bright and beautiful hues, but its pink neon nails that made their way onto the runways of Paris, Milan, New Your and London this year, and so we thought we’d review 10 of the best to find out what it really takes to get beautiful neon nails.

3. Flashbulb Fuchsia by OPI.  Get your glow on with OPI’s Flashbulb Fuchsia pink neon nail polish.
