All About Neon Nail Polish

Back in the 1980s neon was all the rage. There was hardly any clothing, accessory, or makeup that did not come in neon. There was no escaping the neon, it was everywhere. The brighter and more electrifying the better it was. Now 30 years later the neon look is back but in a less blinding way.

Neon clothing in the 1980s was big and oversized. It was often paired with black lycra with the thought that oversized and tight would balance each other out when in reality you just looked ridiculous. There was nothing really fashionable about neon back then so when it started making a resurgence around 2009 there was a lot of skepticism as to whether or not you it could be done in a way that made it in fashion rather than worn in a way that made it look like it was stuck in a time warp. Since 2009 more and more neon popped into the fashion world with it being at a high in spring / summer 2011.

Neon of today is a bit different than it was 30 years ago and in a good way. Not only are the styles of the clothing more shapely and not big and boxy but the colors and how neon is used is not as extreme. The shades of neon are still bold and bright though they seem to not be as blinding as they once were.

One of the best ways to wear this neon look is as a color block look. You can go as bold or as conservative you want with this look, just wear what is comfortable for you. Try a solid color shirt with a different color bottom, and yet another color pair of shoes. If you are unsure of all these colors you can always wear black and/or white as part of the outfit. If you are not wanting to wear so much neon there are also many different shirts, skirts, and shorts that are pattern print of which one of more of the colors is neon. Wear these pattern prints with a solid top or bottom for a "pop" of color without having to go overboard. If you are really bold you can find plenty of bright bikini and one piece swimsuits in bright neon colors.

Many, if not most brands of nail polish have at least one neon color. You can wear a single color alone, as a twist on a classic French Manicure, or even as a water marbling pattern.
