The latest trend to hit the red carpet? Hot pink nails. We’re talking day-glo bright here — the brighter the better! Celebrities like country singer LeeAnn Rimes, Lauren Conrad and Christina Aguilera are using the hue to punch up black dresses or add even more color to their outfits. And of course we’ve tracked down the best polishes you can use to get the look at home!
Sephora by OPI Nail Colour in Arm Candy
This should be called “Nail Candy,” because that’s exactly what it is — a total treat for the nails. The shade totally pops against skin whether it’s tanned or pale!
$9 at sephora.com
Essie Nail Polish in Exposure
If you like hot pink but you’re afraid to go super bright, then this is the color for you. It’s a bit more muted, so you’ll still make a statement — but in a more subtle way.
$8 at essieshop.com
China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Raspberry Festival
Jelly polish is one we’re fairly new to — our friend Michelle over at All Lacquered Up was first to clue us in to the amazingness of a blingy jelly-finish lacquer. And this shade has got it in spades — not to mention it looks amazing on fingers and toes!
$2.99 at head2toebeauty.com
Lippmann Collection Nail Color in Daytripper
This one’s got a bit of a coral cast to it, so it’s not quite in the hot pink category — but it’s so gorgeous, and so close, we just couldn’t pass it up! It’s the perfect shade of go with everything pink.
$15 at lippmanncollection.com
Chanel Nail Colour in Organdy
Every time we wear this polish, we get compliments. Seriously, it’s like people can’t help but stare at out nails! And Chanel polish tends to last forever without chipping, so you’ll get compliments for days and days on end!
$23 at chanel.com
butter LONDON 3 Free Nail Lacquer in Snog
Any polish named after kissing is fine by us … especially when it’s the English slang version! And hey, if it comes with a side of Robert Pattinson, definitely sign us up.

e.l.f. Nail Polish in Fluorescent Pink
With that name, does this polish really need any more introduction? We can’t wait to sport this on our fingers all summer long.

I've found that Chanel polishes chip way faster than any other polish I've tried. (that's if it ever fully dries in the first place). My favorite hot pink polish is Cover Girl boundless color in Sassy Strawberry. It's a darker hot pink that flatters every skin tone out there.
