Partial Press Sample
Monday is Labor Day which means most schools in my area start school on Tuesday. Even though I began this past week (I'm in high ed), I'm still freshly in the back-to-school mood. What's fun about the class I teach in the fall is that I teach an 8:30am (first one of the day) class on Monday to first years. That means I was the students' first college class ever. I take more pride in that than I should 😂😂😂 Anyway, I wore these nails to welcome them to college.

I started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I like this color because it's not stark white and it has just enough grey to look nice.
Then I did horizontal stripes with KBShimmer Double Pog Dare You and a vertical strip with KBShimmer Chai-huahua. Topped it with KBShimmer Clearly on Top and then Oh Matte! SO simple and easy! Since I teach in humanities, writing is everything and I use a lot of paper!

I feel it looks much more like paper when it's matte! A few other professors noticed my nails haha.

These are too cute and I love that anyone can do them with out all the striping tape or liquid latex and all that jazz. My kids started early last month but it's still a great look to rock for teachers!
ReplyDeleteI remember when striping tape was all the rage. I have it but I am wayyyy too impatient to wait for it to dry so I just freehanded the best I could. Early last month?! Eek! But they probably get out before us.
DeleteMaggie starts back on Tuesday. She'll only be in school for 2 days before we pull her out to head up to NYC for her bday. haha I dig this mani and definitely prefer it matted!
ReplyDeleteMore Broadway shows?! Enjoy your time here!
DeleteYet again that matte look really seals this look for me. It's so paper-like!
ReplyDeleteI think so too! I didn't mind it glossy but matte makes it more realistic.
DeleteVery cute and paper-like! I like it matte!
ReplyDeleteMatte makes it more paperlike!
DeleteClever idea for a mani. Reminds me of the good old days of writing in a notebook
ReplyDeleteI still make my students write in a notebook. Studies show that they retain more by physically writing vs typing!
DeleteAfter 30 years of teaching I really appreciate this. It would be perfect to wear.
ReplyDeleteHi fellow educator! A lot of my colleagues noticed and thought it was cool!
DeleteI love this. I want to do it.
ReplyDeleteDo it! It's so easy!
DeletePerfect for back to school! You did fantastic free hand lines! I didn't know you taught first year students - that must be fun - seeing them all nervous and awkward. :)
ReplyDeleteI have mostly first years in the fall. In the spring, I teach freshman-juniors so it's a nice mix. It's fun to see them awkward and then the second class, they open up!
DeleteThose are seriously the cutest nails I've ever seen. And totally perfect for your first day back to teaching.
ReplyDeleteThat cute?!? And so easy :)
DeleteLove this mani! It makes me miss school :)
ReplyDeleteLoving this mani! Perfect for back to school!
