Brighter than the average pink and lighter than deep fuchsias or plums, hot pink is a nail color that can signal how fun and exciting you are or want to be.
To go full throttle on this color, try using it on long nails of any shape or size.
The more surface area is covered by this incredible shade, the more visual impact your nails will surely have on whomever is looking at them.
However, hot pink is sure to work on shorter nails, too, and can be amazing for that bright pop of color that you may want to have for a special occasion like a vacation or heavy date.
If you prefer a more toned down look, but you still want to try out hot pink, think small doses. Maybe paint only one or two nails this brilliant shade and keep your other nails at a quieter color, like a mauve or a nude color.
Pairing hot pink with neutrals can really make them shine while bringing down the shock factor. This look is great for professional settings where you don’t want to call too much attention to your super fun nails.
The opposite is also true. Contrast or complement hot pink with big impact colors from other sides of the color wheel! Think turquoise blue, juicy orange or even a dramatic black. These heights in contrast will no doubt say “look at me” when it comes to your nails.
You can either apply a solid color to each nail for an edgy look, or do a uniform look while using these different colors on each nail in a similar pattern. Hot pink is a hot color that can’t really go wrong!
