5 Bright Nail Colors to Wear This Weekend
Here, nail pros weigh in on the ultimate transitional bold polish shades.
By Julie Schott
Is it just me or do you tire of visible toes by the end of summer? Do sunny manicures feel forced? Is the whole look just so utterly mandatory that you'd sooner wear bare nails than pluck another neon polish from the salon wall. No? Too far? Okay. Consider these mega-bright shades a punchy palette cleanser. They're bold enough to shine poolside, but there's a depth and opacity to each color that carries the look into fall. Here, nail pros weigh in on the ultimate transitional bright nail polish shades.
Pink Creamsicle
"As summer comes to an end, I still love NCLA's Bikinis and Martinis. This shade is both fun and bright for summer while having a neutral tone for the change of seasons," says manicurist Steph Stone, who created Miley Cyrus's MTV Video Music Awards nail look.
Yves Klein Blue
"Chanel's super bright Chanel nail color in Vibrato is perfect for the end of the summer," says Naomi Yasuda, the nail pro behind Opening Ceremony and Kenzo's runway polish looks each season.
Pop Art Pink
"Hands and feet should always match," adds Yasuda, who chooses Dior Le Vernis in Bonheur for vibrant fingertips and toes.
Beachside Teal
"Since Labor Day symbolizes the end of summer to many, it's a perfect weekend to fit in a brightly saturated manicure. A bright turquoise blue that looks like pool water: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Water Color is my pick for the holiday. It has amazing coverage and looks beautiful as a tip color on a clear nail," says manicurist Madeline Poole.
Bubble Gum Pink
"My favorite bright color of the season has been Zoya Lo. I loved using this classic hot pink all summer long, whether in nail art or by itself, to add to a pop of color because it's so vibrant and fun. Since this weekend is technically the last summer weekend, this is the perfect shade to complement any outfit before you begin to transition your nails into fall shades," says Skyy Hadley, owner of As U Wish Nail Spa.
