For the first time, such a manicure began to gain popularity in the 90s, when people began to strive for the brightness of the image and left the previously familiar routine. Today, neon manicure is preferred by girls who want to stand out from the crowd, although lovers of strict classics are increasingly paying attention to bright shades.
