Manicure Monday: Back to School! (Bleh)

Bad note: today is the first day of classes. Good note: it's my last first day as and undergrad and I have these cute nails to look at! I figured it was only fitting for me to do a schoolish theme for this sacred day, so I decided to do a pencil accent nail (which in retrospect, I wish I'd have done all my nails as pencils). For the nails that don't have the pencil, I used Essie's Cute as a Button, which is also what is used for the eraser. (It looks red in the pic, but it's more of a coral. You can also opt for a dusty rose for the eraser as well.) To make the pencils: two coats of Ulta's Sun- Sational, wait until it's a little dry, then two coats of the coral (or pink), again, let dry a bit. Then with a striping brush, I used Sally Hansen's Celeb City, make a thin-ish line, covering up any unevenness of the coral tip. These actually turned out much better than I thought they would and like I said before, I wish I would've done them on all of my nails, especially since they were so easy! Happy first day of classes!
