I’m over those barely-there bubblebath or glazed donut shades this season. My nails need a pop of color now– something to make it come alive.
Oh wait, did I say hot pink nails?
It’s perfect for events, beach days, or even for just an uplift. As for hot pink nails, I have got just the right hues and brands that deliver what it promises.
I’ve searched, made a long list, and picked the best hot pink nail polishes to bring your summer fits to the next level.
Karma Naturals Nail Polish
Starting with the best – my overall pick!
If you are constantly thinking about animals and are conscious of the environment while wanting to look pretty, this is your call.
Before I jump onto the beauty part, I have to tell you the ingredients that made it my overall pick of the day. This polish is all-natural, and plant-based (explains why it is cruelty-free). What’s the best part? It is non-yellowing for this formula.
Speaking of formulas, this baby is vitamin and calcium-enriched, and is also ‘21 free’. We do not have any place for negativity here.
This Karma Nail Polish lives up to its name. It’s the hot and bright pink that uplifts your mood just when you look at it. I did not find the color tacky – it was giving ‘confident lady’, or simply, just Boss Debbie!
Essie Nail Polish
Okay, we’re done with the confident boss-babe, we want something for the after-party now!
And I found Essie and its current shade that I’m obsessed with – one way for one!
It’s always in the name, one way for one. The only way for the one who likes a bit of shimmer in their nails and still looks elegant. Essie made it better with their glazed effect on the nails. It’s soft, gives full coverage, has a nice sheen to it, and is the best for a little fun play with the shimmers.
I chose this one because I wanted one in the sheen category, something that would give the ‘glazed donut’ vibe and would still be under the hot pink hue. It fits the vision!
Essie Nail Polish
I’m in the mood for an electric pink that’s eye-popping, and I found just the right one here!
No more demure and sparkling nails right now, we are in the mood to be fearless and stray. The vibe is that electrifying hot biker girl without losing her femininity – a spicy hot pink that turns head.
Essie never disappoints, with or without the shimmer.
Vegan? Check.
Full-coverage? Check.
Popped your eyes out? Check.
I loved the formula, it glides on smoothly. I would recommend repairing it with Essie’s base coat and top coat for the best result. The only drawback is that it is not cruelty-free, it’s a 10/10 otherwise.
Essie Expressie Nail Polish
Enough with the loud ones, it’s time for the clean girls to step out of their comfort zone and try the mauvy hot pink nails. Also, we can’t seem to enough of Essie’s this one.
This is a beautiful mauvy, toned-down hot pink that’s for the people who don’t like it too loud but still wanna try it. I loved the shade ‘Crave the Chaos’ for this and I loved it even better with the shade ‘Ethereal Glow’ on top of it. It has the right kick to it if it’s too boring for some people.
The only drawback I noticed was the lack of risk that this color has especially when I’m creating a list of eye-catching colors – it is a subtle and toned-down version of what I was looking for.
Beetles-Liner Gel Art Polish
Was I just sad about pitching something that is so toned-down than the generic hot pink nails?
Things just got even weirder.
But I had to include this set, I have barely seen anything like this. It’s magnetic, so you can use the reflection as you like with the thinnest brush that comes with it. The hot pink is such a dream in this! You can design it as much as you want using the magnet and it is an interesting experience.
I would recommend everyone to try every kind of hot pink nail polish that I have listed if you are a fan of this particular color. I had the most fun trying out the magnetic nail polishes, it just feels innovative and of course, looks the prettiest!
