Nude nails are perfect for school! The subtle shade can complement whatever hairstyle, outfit, or makeup look you have on. Despite the fact that colorful nails are so tempting to wear to school, it’s better to stick to the basics.  Check out these nude nail designs that will compliment several back to school outfits!

Instead of sticking crystals to your nails, try glitters instead. It will give your nude nails more character while keeping it a bit more subtle than using crystals.

5. Marbled Nude Nails
