Back to school… Back to school… To prove to my dad that I’m not a fool…
Well, you get the idea! It’s back to school time for all of the kids, parents, and teachers! That means back to reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic. Oh, and it also means the ladies get to try out some fun new back to school nail art!
One of the most popular nail art designs for back to school are pencil nail art designs. These designs are usually quite simple to achieve, and require little more than some yellow, pink, and silver polish. If you’ll be painting the pencil points, you’ll also need some black or dark gray polish as well. Colored pencil nails, of course, will require an array of colors! Painting the actual pencil nail design is easy too! You can use tape for straight line, or just a nail art brush to create the designs.
