Neon nails - all the cool kids are doing it

Okay, maybe just Rihanna, but they’ll catch up. 

Bright and attention-grabbing makeup has been on the style cards all season, and the new trend, flourescent nails, is similarly color-drenched: think green, yellow, day-glo orange and shocking pink.  Blame it on Chanel, who launched their limited-edition Robertson Boulevard collection a few weeks ago; now Essie has launched the much cheaper Neon Collection, which basically contains the same shades, but only costs $18 for the mini-kit, as opposed to the $25 you’ll shell out for each shade of Chanel (available only at the new Robertson Boulevard Chanel boutique in LA.)  I’m a pale-pink kind of girl, but, hey, a little vivid experimentation never hurt anybody!

I was not planning on having an all-Rihanna nail polish pictorial…but the girl obviously loves her crazy nail shades!
