These back-to-school manicures will surely arouse a little delight in the thought of heading back to the books.
One of the most exciting things about starting classes again is, of course, planning out your fall wardrobe. Nothing goes better with an awesome new outfit than a perfectly polished manicure.
Whether you're the teacher's pet or you just can't wait to get out at the end of the day, you'll find there's something for everyone with these designs. You can show your love for school by painting rulers, notebooks and owls for your classmates to see, or you can daydream about what you'll be doing after the bell rings with some social media nails, or possibly even a gamer manicure.
