Ready, set, GLOW!!!

A superstar within our industry, Guy Tang’s glow-in-the-dark hair creations have gone viral among beauty buffs and those just awed by freakin’ cool hair color alike on social media. The video, shown here, now has more than one million views:

Pravana introduced a blacklight topcoat earlier this year, white-ink tattoos have been trending among those who want to be tatted without having the commitment of a visible everyday tattoo, and glow-in-the-dark manis look as good with the lights on as they do when the lights shut off.

Aside from making us want to go to a giant dance festival, neon party or cosmic bowling (people still do that, right?), Tang’s viral creation proves glow-in-the-dark beauty isn’t just reserved for Halloween, but rather, any time of year as a look that can be taken from well-reserved during the day, to ready to party all night long.

It’s safe to say, we’re inspired by this trend. Check out some of our favorite glow-in-the-dark beauty looks we’ve seen on Instagram to get inspired too.
