We’ll admit, we often look to the creative bunch of Korean nail artists ruling Instagram to latch onto any possible trending manicure. Case(s) in point? The dry flower manicure, tattoo nails, and most recently, wire nails. Yeah, there’s pretty much no stopping the talented Unistella team when it comes to trendy talons. We’ll eat all of their creations up in a heartbeat. This week, we spotted a new one that’s quickly catching fire. Prepare yourselves for neon sign nails.

As its name suggests, these glowing nails are meant to mimic those gas-discharge tubes that contain neon vapours, but instead of looking like the signs you see at storefronts, the Unistella crew took it to the next level, putting a summery spin on the nails with cute palm trees and flamingos. Most of the designs bear the same jet black base with neon words or images on them.

If the all-black background doesn’t appeal to you, why not switch it up with a bright colour to add an extra punch. You can even try out one accent nail to get the feel of it, but once you’re hooked on this, you’ll wanna get a pedicure of a matching illuminating design too. The girls at Unistella hand paints each design meticulously using a special nail polish, but you can also do this yourself with some eye-catching colours too.
