Let’s face it, for a truly stunning back to school look you need the perfect manicure. However, choosing the best back to school nail art can be a drag, especially if you’re not sure what counts as school appropriate nail art.
Here are some great manicure tips and back to school nail art ideas to make you look chic with minimum effort.
Simple Back to School Nails
1. File and trim regularly
To keep your nails in the desired shape, you should file and trim consistently, using sharp manicure scissors and a fresh emery board.
2. Moisturize
Nails are sensitive to drying, so, to keep them healthy, you should moisturize them, especially after using nail polish remover.
3. Careful application
Whenever applying new products, read the instructions attentively and proceed with care, to avoid unwanted accidents, especially as most nail art kits do not come with extras.
Back to School Nail Art Ideas
1. French manicure
French manicure is the perfect choice if you prefer a classic look and a safe style of nail art for school. If you’re not very handy with manicure, you can use a nail care tip kit (you can try Pretty Woman’s version or Red Carpet Manicure’s French Manicure kit). Apply the tip guide over clean and dry nails, and the white highlight liner over the nail tip. Apply the desired shade of nail polish. Once the polish has dried, carefully remove the tip guide and apply a top coat for a smoother finish.
