Neon green nails are fun. 

Bright, eye-catching, and uplifting, neon green nail polishes look like the glow of a lightning bug and fresh growth in the springtime. 

For these reasons, they remind us of happy times in the summer and all the new inspirations that come with beginnings of any kind.

Below, we want to share with you swatches of some of our favorite neon green nail colors that we’ve encountered so far.

In the photos that follow you will find swatches of brightly colored green nails from Orly, China Glaze and Live Love Polish, a brand that now goes by the name of mooncat, in that order.

Let’s take a trip to the land of green neon nails -

Orly Neon Paradise #2000103 comes from the 2021 Electric Escape Collection and this entire collection is fun.

Orly creators are some of the best in the industry when it comes to neon polish. Orly, as a brand, is vegan, cruelty-free and also made in America. Plus, they give you a large volume of polish in each bottle. Honestly, there’s a lot of reasons to like Orly, but let’s focus specifically on why we love this color.

Neon Paradise is a saturated neon green nail polish that goes on in thin coats and it offers medium to full coverage. Shown in three coats, it dries quickly and is easy to apply.

China Glaze is another brand that does neon colors well.

Celtic Sun #1015 / 80845 is a yellow green neon that offers semi-sheer to medium coverage in 4-5 coats. For fewer coats or to increase opacity, use your favorite white nail color as your base coat; the photos above are using a clear base coat.

At some angles it looks sheer, at other angles, opaque, so this shade shifts, depending on how the light hits it. It dries matte, so if you want shine, it needs a topcoat - essie gel setter is our current favorite.

Highway Glow is from the Live Love Polish 2021 Desiderium Collection, the final collection Live Love Polish released before she rebranded to mooncat.

Thankfully, Highway Glow is one of the colors from Live Love Polish that carried over into mooncat packaging.

Highway Glow is a creamy, cool neon green and it is the most opaque of all three in this article. Highway Glow dries quickly and it’s easy to apply. Shown above in three coats, this gorgeous color dries shiny.
