2. Ocean Waves
You can practically hear them crest and break.
3. Neon Green
Tip: Layer a white polish underneath to really make the color pop.
4. Faded Ombré
For a softer take on neon, mix your brights with a little white polish before sponging it on the tips.
5. Neon Lines
Or steady your arms against a table and sweep on some sharp lines.

Like the cotton candy skies that light up each night.
7. Abstract Art
No rhyme or reason. Just use lots of colors.

For our fine jewelry-loving minimalists.

Gold and nude: A classic pairing.

For nails that jump off the screen.
11. Tangerine Dream
Anyone else craving creamsicle polish (and popsicles, for that matter)?

The nail art equivalent of a bag of Clementine cuties.
