I don't like to wear neon colors in my clothes, I decided to take this trend in a more subtile way by adding it to my manicure. In this tutorial I made all my nails to show you how it looks but I personally find it more elegant if you just do this in one nail and paint the rest of your nails white or black.

Divide your nail in 3 vertically. Paint each section with one of your neon nail polishes. This doesn't have to be perfect, we just want the combination of the three neon colors in each nail.
Let them dry perfectly before going to the next step.
