Fuchsia Nails & Juicy Burgers

"I think we've seen neutrals and darks for a while now and people are wanting something fresh and fun," says manicurist Alicia Torello. "I also think the huge surge in popularity with nail art has a big influence on people taking more chances when it comes to color." If you're just starting out with bright nails, we suggest opting for a bright pink — it's punchy, but still within the classic color range, so you don't have to worry about your nails looking too intense or crazy.
