Graduation Nails: Ideas, Styling, Looks, Creative
Even if you’ve spent the last few months of school barely scraping by with Zoom classes, online testing, and the chaos that has been 2020/2021—you’ve finally arrived! CONGRATS! It’s time to accept your diploma with a perfectly manicured hand, because graduation day, in my opinion, is one of those occasions when you can go all-out in the beauty department if you want to. I’m talking about glam lashes, a bold lip, and a killer manicure. So, to help you get ready for the big day, I’ve compiled a list of the cutest graduation nail looks—from French tips to animal prints
Silver and Gold Graduation Nail Design: Graduation Nails
A silver and gold manicure isn’t just for New Year’s Eve. For a graduation nail look that will stand out against your robe, try this sparkly polish combo.
Use Olive and June Nail Polish in Exclamation Point or Sephora Collection Color Hit Mini Nail Polish in Black Lace to recreate it.
Blue and Gold Graduation Nail Design: Graduation Nails
The deep blue in this mani contrasts beautifully with the shimmery gold, and the inverted colour blocking design adds to its uniqueness. Remember to use nail tape to create crisp, clean lines.
Use Nash and Pino Nail Polish in Cool to recreate it. Mom

Don’t believe the myth that dark, moody nail polishes are only for winter manicures. This burgundy shade is lovely enough to wear all year—even to your spring graduation.
Mischo Beauty Nail Polish in Front Row can be used to recreate it.

This negative-space sparkly mani is a great graduation nail design. It’s glamorous without being over-the-top, which is basically my nail-art vibe all the time.
