“Cosmic” Nails

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hartford chapter.

After seeing the Cosmic Run 5K, I was inspired to try some of that same neon color on my nails.

I started with a black matte base coat – I used Fresh Paint #55A6214 “Closing Ceremony”.

Next, I took some neon nail pens and randomly dripped color on my dry nails. If you don’t have nail pens, you can always use toothpicks dipped in nail polish to get the same effect.

I ended up using five different colors, but you can use as many as you like! I imagine it would be a little easier for someone with longer nails. That’s it – quick and simple and cute!

May all beings be happy and free and may my life in some way contribute to that happiness. I'm a New Hampshire native, and a journalism major at the University of Hartford in West Hartford, Connecticut. I write books sometimes. When I grow up, I want to be a reporter.
