Neon, Nail Art and Gel Nail Color with Red Carpet Manicure

All over the runways this Winter, we saw nails as the biggest accessory from sultry deep jewel tones, to neon brights to brilliant artwork even Van Gogh would give his left ear for. My latest obsession has been with gel manicures. Not only are they faster to dry, have a 2 week staying power with a glossier finish than normal nail polish, but they also offer more protection for brittle nails. When they first came to the scene, it was only available in nail salons for about twice the price. Now Red Carpet Manicure has launched a portable at home kit – The Pro 45 Starter Kit for $79.99, that includes an LED light, remover, prep, a base coat, a red carpet ready red gel polish, and the finishing top coat along with a cuticle oil to protect your nail bed. With over 50 colors to choose from including demure neutrals to their newest neon brights for Summer to deep jewel tones to match this Fall’s rich palette there is something for everyone.

For the more adventurous, RCM has also introduced trendsetting nail art kits with everything you need to have blinged out bejeweled nails, the perfect French Manicure or a deep ombred nail set for $29.99.

And don’t worry about the UV rays, the LED light voltage is so low you’d get more sun exposure walking from Soho to the West Village. Gel nail color sells for $9.99 at Ulta.
