The same way Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada sarcastically summed up the relationship between floral designs and the Spring as being "groundbreaking," neon nail polish shades for Summer aren't exactly a new trend. That doesn't mean that swiping highlighter shades onto your nails are any less fun.

Chief creative officer of Paintbox Eleanor Langston recently told POPSUGAR to expect the neon hues to be popular. "We are already starting to see our [Paintbox] clients transition to brighter, bolder colours for an early start to Summer — they're willing warmer weather to come," she said.

Rihanna is just one example of someone who has already kicked off the warmer months with the fluorescent nail look. She showed up at an opening of one of her Fenty pop-up shops with neon green polish painted across her nails.

Ahead, check out, and get on board with one of this Summer's biggest nail trends.

The brightest of neon shade of them all — yellow — is sure to make a statement whether it's worn on your fingers or your toes. But not all neon yellow nail polishes are the same. They can skew warmer, like this Essie Nail Polish in Sweet Supply ($9), or be full-on Hi-Lite level fluorescent.
