Happy Mani Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I’m so glad I’m finally feeling 100% again and was able to make it out and have some fun on Saturday with CK at the Santa Ana Art Walk. I totally recommend this art walk if you’re in the Orange County area. There are so many cute restaurants and galleries to peruse in Downtown Santa Ana, and the large crowds and pretty lights make for an amazing Saturday evening. It’s held the first Saturday of every month, so make sure you head over next month!

Okay, so now back to the Mani Monday post. So, I love me a good neon polish and I started to notice that some of my polishes didn’t look as bright on my nails as they do in the bottle…major bummer. I took to the internets to figure out why this was and realized what I was missing from my application…two coats of white polish! I couldn’t believe it, I mean how have I not already been applying this simple tip to my polish application. So, I knew that this was a tip I must share with all of you lovelies.

How to Make Your Neon Nail Polish Pop 

Step 1: Apply a basecoat (I use Essie’s Protein Base Coat)
Step 2: Apply two coats of white nail polish
Step 3: Apply two coats of your favorite neon polish (I used Essie’s Pink Parka, but Miami Nice is great as well)
Step 4: Apply a coat of a high gloss top coat, let dry and you’re set! (I use Essie To Dry For)

Hope this helps you all get some even brighter Neon Digits! If you’re looking for some more  digit inspiration, check out my board on Pinterest!
