When Graduation Day finally rolls around (who knew four years would fly by this quickly?) you want your look to be on point. That means from top to bottom and mani to pedi. You already know how to stand out by accessorizing—here’s how to up your beauty game to the same level!
1. Wear your school colors
When you’re at graduation and already feeling nostalgic, we totally understand wanting to show off your school spirit—but wearing your school’s colors head-to-toe isn’t the best idea. Instead, wear them on your nails—whether you do stripes, polka-dots, colorblocking…or even alternating colors from nail to nail, if you’re not so skilled at nail art.
2. Go for a modern take on a classic look
Put a contemporary twist on the classic French tips. Use stick-on strips or tape to create a clean edge at the top of your nails for a no-hassle look!
3. Bubbly… or sparkly
What’s a celebration without a dash of glitter? Channel the bubbles rising in your champagne glass by brushing glitter on the tips of your nails.
4. Graduation art
If you’re super skilled, decorate your nails with graduation essentials like caps, diplomas and your class year—it’s a subtle way to celebrate the big day!
5. Summer inspo
Graduation is a bittersweet time—on the one hand, the thought of leaving your best friends brings a tear to your eye. On the other hand, you’ll never have to pull another all-nighter in the stacks again. Celebrate the onset of summer with these vacation-inspired nails!
