Nude nails are all the rage for Fall 2012! Take a break from studying for your tests to treat yourself to a manicure. Whether it is a do-it-yourself manicure or a professional manicure, you will feel more relaxed and your nails will look beautiful!
 

For the DIY crowd, pick up one of the following colors and plop down on the couch with good movie while you beautify!

Chanel Nail Vernis in “Inattendu” is a beautiful nude color. This color is straight off the runway and will make you look and feel like a Parisian! It is available for $23 at Nordstrom.

If you are looking for something a little more inexpensive, stop by Sephora to pick up a bottle of “Going Nude, Eh?” by Sephora by O.P.I. for $5.

China Glaze is a great brand and it also has an inexpensive option. The color is named “Nude” and can be purchased for $5 at Sally Beauty

 

If you would like to get your nails done by a professional, I strongly suggest asking for “Gel” or “Shellac” nail polish. It lasts anywhere from 2-3 weeks and doesn’t chip easily. Just make sure you ask for the special remover so that you can take it off yourself after the 2-3 weeks. Enjoy!
