7. Neon Dream: Multi-Chrome Green/Blue Nail Polish

Another great nail polish that would look amazing under any holographic decal, would definitely be this chrome legacy color by “Polish me Silly“! 😍

8. Dashing Diva: The Best Nail Strips on Earth

and NO, I have not been paid to say that they are the best nail strips – they just are! I have a big stash that I keep because not only do they look incredible but they last much longer than the package says they do. For example, the pack I had on before the one I have on now last 3 weeks and 4 days, even though the package says they last up to 14 days.

I think the reason why these aren’t more popular than they are is because they would put nail salons out of business! They always have super cool colors & themes coming out too, so you never get bored.

Did I mention they are super simple to apply?

10. When in Doubt, Activate the Accent Nail!

Incase you weren’t aware, the term “accent nail” simply refers to one or 2 nails on each hand that are painted/colored different than the others. It is a great way to spruce up your look if you don’t want to get too crazy.

Here are some of my favorite accent nail ideas & bold nail polishes that wll make them pop!

If holographic nails on all 10 fingers is a little much for you, try doing only one on each hand, like this:

For this look, you can find holographic nail polish in every color imaginable that will go perfectly with your main color you decide to use:

Aren’t those flakes just to die for?! I can’t get over those. My favorite item on this easy nail art ideas list has to be the “Dashing Diva” nail strips though.
