NAILS | Pencils for Back to School #CBBxManiMonday

Pencil Nail Art 

Press samples

Even though I have long been out of school and do not have kids of my own to remind me that "Back to School" season is upon us, there is something about having been a student for so long that makes me feel like I am still part of the Back to School madness! I am sure I am not alone in this as many of us still have that recurring dream of showing up at an exam and it's the wrong room or day!


I had another Back to School design in mind, but then hours before I was going to paint, I broke a large chunk of nail and sadly had to file them all down so maybe in two weeks, I will have grown back the length I need for what I had in mind. Since I still had my slightly pointed nail shape, I decided to do pencil nails. I have done pencils before, but not with the graphite at the tip so using a tutorial from naillacqueruk, I came up with THESE and I love 'em!
