The last month of summer is now upon us, so now’s the time to experiment with the bright summer-y neon hues of summer before the fall trends set in. We spotted 10 amazing manicures from top beauty blogs that have definitely taken it to the next level with nail art and accent nails. The best part is most of these include tutorials or can be done with the help of handy-dandy nail appliqués, so get inspired and have fun with your manicures all month long.
