Nail art is meant to be fun, and what’s more fun than bright designs inspired by neon signs? Of course, we’re not the only ones who think so, which is why it’s been trending on social media all summer long. The good news is that it’s still not too late to sport neon nail sign designs, and to spark some creativity we’ve gathered some inspo for you. Whether you decide to head to a nail salon to get your art done or try your hand at doing it yourself (May we suggest Essie Expressie’s Ahead of Gamer collection? Our personal fave is Take Controller.), you’ll be glad you have a photo reference saved.

Try a colorful french tip and throw your neon designs on top for something really funky.
