How to do a neon manicure?

Hey there, nail enthusiasts! If you're looking to add a pop of color and a touch of electrifying style to your nails, then a neon manicure is the way to go. As a manicure supplier, I've seen firsthand how neon nails can transform your look and make you stand out from the crowd. In this blog post, I'm going to share with you everything you need to know about doing a neon manicure, from choosing the right colors to applying the polish like a pro.

Choosing the Right Neon Colors

The first step in doing a neon manicure is choosing the right colors. Neon colors are bright, bold, and eye-catching, so you want to make sure you choose shades that you love and that will complement your skin tone. Some popular neon colors include neon pink, neon orange, neon yellow, neon green, and neon blue.

When choosing neon colors, it's also important to consider the occasion and your personal style. If you're going for a more subtle look, you might want to choose a pastel neon color or a neon color that's mixed with a neutral shade. On the other hand, if you're looking to make a statement, you might want to choose a bright, bold neon color that stands out.

Prepping Your Nails

Before you start applying the neon polish, it's important to prep your nails properly. This will help the polish adhere better and last longer. Here's how to prep your nails for a neon manicure:

1. Trim and Shape Your Nails: Use a nail clipper to trim your nails to your desired length, and then use a nail file to shape them. You can choose from a variety of shapes, including square, oval, round, and almond.
2. Buff Your Nails: Use a nail buffer to gently buff the surface of your nails. This will remove any rough edges and help the polish adhere better.
3. Clean Your Nails: Use a nail brush or a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover to clean your nails and remove any dirt or oil.
4. Apply a Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of base coat to your nails and let it dry completely. This will help protect your nails and prevent the neon polish from staining them.

Applying the Neon Polish

Once your nails are prepped, it's time to apply the neon polish. Here's how to apply neon polish like a pro:

1. Shake the Polish Well: Before you start applying the polish, make sure you shake the bottle well to mix the pigment and the base.
2. Apply the First Coat: Dip the brush into the polish and wipe off any excess on the edge of the bottle. Then, apply a thin layer of polish to your nails, starting at the cuticle and working your way down to the tip. Make sure you cover the entire nail surface.
3. Let the First Coat Dry: Let the first coat of polish dry completely before applying the second coat. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on the brand of polish you're using.
4. Apply the Second Coat: Once the first coat is dry, apply a second coat of polish in the same way as the first coat. Make sure you apply the polish evenly and cover any areas that might have been missed with the first coat.
5. Let the Second Coat Dry: Let the second coat of polish dry completely before applying a top coat. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Adding Some Glitter or Sparkle

If you want to add some extra sparkle and shine to your neon manicure, you can add some glitter or sparkle to the polish. Here's how to do it:

1. Choose Your Glitter or Sparkle: You can choose from a variety of glitter and sparkle options, including fine glitter, chunky glitter, holographic glitter, and metallic sparkle.
2. Apply the Glitter or Sparkle: Once the second coat of neon polish is dry, apply a thin layer of glitter or sparkle polish over the top. You can use a brush or a sponge applicator to apply the glitter or sparkle.
3. Let the Glitter or Sparkle Dry: Let the glitter or sparkle polish dry completely before applying a top coat. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Applying a Top Coat

Once your neon polish and glitter or sparkle are dry, it's time to apply a top coat. This will help protect the polish and give your nails a shiny, smooth finish. Here's how to apply a top coat:

1. Choose Your Top Coat: You can choose from a variety of top coat options, including glossy top coat, matte top coat, and gel top coat.
2. Apply the Top Coat: Dip the brush into the top coat and wipe off any excess on the edge of the bottle. Then, apply a thin layer of top coat to your nails, starting at the cuticle and working your way down to the tip. Make sure you cover the entire nail surface.
3. Let the Top Coat Dry: Let the top coat dry completely before using your hands or doing any activities that might damage the polish. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

Maintaining Your Neon Manicure

Once you've done your neon manicure, it's important to take care of it to make it last as long as possible. Here are some tips for maintaining your neon manicure:

1. Avoid Using Your Nails as Tools: Using your nails as tools, such as opening cans or scratching things, can cause the polish to chip or peel.
2. Wear Gloves When Doing Chores: When doing chores, such as washing dishes or cleaning, wear gloves to protect your nails from water and chemicals.
3. Apply Cuticle Oil Regularly: Applying cuticle oil regularly will help keep your nails and cuticles healthy and prevent them from drying out.
4. Touch Up the Polish as Needed: If you notice any chips or peeling in the polish, touch it up as soon as possible to keep your manicure looking fresh.
