Doctoral Graduation Nails

 Contains gifts

Oh hello everyone. Despite defending my dissertation last June, I was unable to walk at graduation due to rules in the doctorate program where your defense must be completed two months before the graduation date. So I had to wait 11 months to walk in my extremely expensive custom doctoral gown. It felt like forever (well it was almost a year!) and then I felt meh about it. As soon as I put that gown on though, I got excited all over again. And of course I wanted to wear some special nails, despite having broken them all two days before graduation so let’s check it out.

Spring Florals

 Contains Press Sample

Expect all the florals coming from me in the next few weeks because that is what I’m in the mood for. This is another look from Pinterest that of course had no watermark. As always, I take inspiration but switch up for my needs and my time. For example, I have a wider middle nail then ring nail, so I chose to switch around the designs so basically do what works for you. I also eliminated one of the designs because I simply didn’t like it.
