BEAUTY NOTES: NEON NAILS
Tuesday, July 29, 2008

This season, it seems like the stars have drifted away from the classic red polishes and french manicures for something a bit more bold. Neon nails have been spotted everywhere, from Rihanna’s popular nail laquer that switches up in every candid - to Kid Sister declaring fun with her tips in the video for her debut single “Pro Nails”.
Its pretty clear that bright polishes are the new manicure fixes this year, so get yours with these polish picks online that some of the stars rocked themselves…

Neon nails are really NOW. I have seen Rih Rih rocking several shades of neon for quite awhile. She may have been the trendsetter here.

Big Apple Red by OPI will NEVER get old. Ever. Bright nails have been done, people thought I was weird for trying different bold colours…never was one for the pastel colours :S…I’m wearing Pink Voltage right now…fingerpaint, china glaze and OPI…any nail guru has tried the good ish…french tips are hot too, can’t hate on those…try One Voice from the Nicole line by OPI, it’s a bombass yellow
most of all: polish or no polish…ladies please keep your nails clean and filed…don’t ever think people aren’t looking on your hands…

another day another crazy rihanna stan
Tuesday, July 29, 2008 /
missez aka rihanna is another crazy rihanna stan who actually believes she is a trendsetter. bitch please. queen beyonce was wearing bright nail polish back when forehead was still helping her dad sell clothes out of his trunk.
oh and i could have sworn that rihanna copied beyonce’s irreplaceable bra and pencil skirt look for that wack video with neyo. and who did rihanna look like when she first came out? rihanna is nothing but a mixture of beyonce, kelis, fefe dobson, and madonna, nobody swagger jacks more than her and she is the last of many to sport bright nail polish and short hair so the rihanna stan can kill themselves.
sorry to everyone else but the psycho rihanna stan is always hating on beyonce and typing under different names starting shit all the time. so pathetic.

Where Im from this was in, in the 90’s when I was in high school. After that I started rocking baby pink cuz its so natural. But I like that its back in atyle. Just went out over the weekend in an all white outfit with electric blue nails. Got alot of compliments so I think Im gonna do orange next……but fashionistas beware! This trend is only acceptable thru the end of the summer then we must start rockin our natural colors again for the winter. Just an FYI b/c I know some of you will get carried away.

^^^^SIT YOUR RIHANNA STAN ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE. YOU MUST BE 12 YEARS OLD. I SWEAR RIHANNA STANS ARE A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS WHO DONT KNOW NO BETTER. RIHANNA IS FAR FROM A FASHION ICON AS MUCH AS SHE SWAGGER JACKS. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ROCKING SHORT HAIR AND NEON NAILS FOR YEARS. RIHANNA AINT BEEN THE FIRST TO DO A DAMN THING. YOU YOUNG RIHANNA STANS NEED A REALITY CHECK.
THANK YOU #34 #35 AND MANY OTHERS. THERE IS NOTHING NEW ABOUT THIS. IGNORE THE RIHANNA STANS WHO DONT KNOW BETTER. PEOPLE DID THIS STUFF IN THE 90′S AND EVEN BEFORE THEN.

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /
#45 and #46 are the same person.lmao I refreshed the page and those comments appeared one right after the other. so pathetic. I agree that rihanna stans are teenagers who need to grow up. rihanna a trendsetter? lmao If she is a trensetter then so is halle berry beyonce kelis posh spice fefe dobson and everybody else she copied.
beyonce who? you ask. she is the chick who every move rihanna copies. expect rihanna to come out with a fashion line and do movies next.smh lmao at rihanna stans only talking about fashion when it comes to rihanna. see that’s the difference between rihanna stans and beyonce stans. beyonce stans defend her TALENT since that is what people talk about her for, never FASHION that anybody can have.lmao If rihanna ever loses her stylist her short career is done.lmao I am so glad I’m not a rihanna stans. They got it worse than any other stans.lmao

Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /
sorry Mizree. I feel you. You canw ear something for years and somebody famous and popular does it, and every1 seems like its a new trend. The fact is that we are mere mortals, not superstars. I know people who wore monochrome nails or gladiator sandals before they blew up. It takes a Mary-Kate, Rihanna, Kate Moss or a Kanye before it becomes popular.

I like the young lady but please give me a break with this Rhi Rhi starting something. Neon polish was out before she was born.
Anyway good things always come back in style. Neon, dark or french it doesn’t matter as long as your nails are clean.
I will be going for my regular mani and pedi later today. Taking off marshmellow and going with orange!

WHY are people on here arguing and cursing people out for their opinion?! Lol, it is definitely not that serious. Opinions are like azzholes; we all have one.
I like the neon nails, but please keep it tasteful and remember that this will not be appropriate in the winter months. You can still do bright, but make sure its a darker color.
Anyway…have a wonderful Hump Day!

Ladies do keep your nails clean, filed and painted clear is nothing else. Sally Hanson has a wonderful Diamond clear or Hard As Nails clear polish that is the bomb.
It doesn’t take much.

EVERYONE LIKE RIHANNA … UNTIL THEY MEET HER. SHE IS ONE NASTY UNGRATEFUL BIATCH WHO TURNS HER NOSE AND IGNORES HER OWN FAN.
STOP TALKIN ABOUT ‘RHI RHI’ BECAUSE SHE DONT CARE A FORK ABOUT YOU.
RIHANNA IS A TRENDSETTER? AM I SUPPOSE TO LAUGH?!!!!!….
ICON AND TRENDSETTER IS RESERVED FOR PEOPLE LIKE KATE MOSS AND VICTORIA BECKHAM.

I think neon nails are tacky and females wearing it need to stop… seriuosly.
It honestly reminds me of the prostitutes that work the strip in Atlantic City. Thank god I don’t follow trends. I think it was original for Rihanna but because people are such copy cats they jumped on the bandwagon and now its a widespread fashion disease. I say nay to the neon nails

Amerie r u good
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 /
almost eveyone wearing the neon nails above look great. However, if ur old or look old the look does not suit you eg. beyonce above who looks like a grandma rocking a teenage trend.
Rihanna is in her own lane right now when it comes to fashion she was the one who made neon nails popular again and everyone has now jumped on the rihanna fashion bandwagon copying her hairstyles, clothing and nails etc.
Rihanna is the baddest chick on the scene…gots to love her!!!

Yeah, I’ve been doing this since I was little. I’ve had bright orange, lime green, and hot pink recently. I have lime on my toes but I don’t know what color I want my nails. I too think the neon colors look better on natural nails.

OLD NEWS! Ghetto Honeyz in the hood been rocking this ISH on their nails/toes since the late 80’s early 90s..
** SIDE NOTE** Funky Fingers Nail Polish brand is the Absolute BEST in innovative colors.
anyone who knows about that brand will tell you. It’s sold in the TRi-State (Phila, NJ, DE) at a store called “Five Below” that sells girly toys, gag gifts, colorful trinkets, school supplies, candy, drinks, etc ….ALL FOR UNDER $5.00!!! HENCE THE NAME “FIVE BELOW”
I’ll be DAMNED if I pay $25/bottle for nail polish.

The thing about Fashion is your either with it or not. Some “it” things are trends-while others are more classic. This is a trend and if your into trends your with it. I know many females who can pull it off, if you love fashion….knock it out- it seems kool
