Neutral nails are one of the most underrated choices you can make. Not because they are safe or boring but because the right neutral does something that a bold color simply cannot: it disappears into whatever you are wearing and makes everything look more put together without drawing attention to itself. That is a genuinely…
Clean girl nails have a particular energy that is very hard to fake and very easy to recognize. They look like you just got them done even when you have been wearing them for a week. They photograph well in natural light without any styling. They go with everything from a white linen top to…
Old money nails have a very specific quality that is immediately recognizable and surprisingly hard to define precisely. It is not about the color being expensive-looking or the design being elaborate. It is about a certain restraint, a quietness, a confidence that does not need to announce itself.

Teachers think about a lot of things before the school year starts and nails are usually pretty far down the list. But there is a good case for paying attention to your manicure in August because you are going to be in front of people all day, gesturing, writing on boards, handing things out, and…
