Even though it feels like we just got here, it's already time for the first home football game! And while I must admit that I'm not the biggest football buff (shocking, right?) I do love me some school spirit - one of the reasons I love JMU! Whether you're into the game, or just there to tailgate, everyone always tries to rock their JMU best on game day. Why just throw on your favorite shirt when you can bring spirit to your nails (talk about spirit fingers, HA).
One of my favorite ways to waste time? Painting my nails. It's so oddly relaxing to me and it's a great way to be adventurous with your look because it's not permanent. So what will I be doing to prep for game day? Naturally the obligatory ABC run and prepping food for the grill, but you can bet I'm going to town on my nails to kick off my Senior year in spirited style!
LOOK #1
Step 1: Paint entire nail yellow. Let dry completely.
Step 2: Place strip of scotch tape across top of nail; paint purple strip and peel off tape gently.
Step 3: Repeat placing scotch tape, this time below the purple you just painted, and add a strip of gold for extra detail.
Step 4: Dab duke dog paw on with polish brush for a finishing touch!
LOOK #2
Step 1: Paint entire nail yellow. Let dry completely.
Step 2: Place strip of scotch tape halfway down nail and paint top half of nail purple. Let dry.
Step 3: Gold duke dog paw!
Feel free to play around with colors combinations and using tape to create clean lines. Try a pale, french manicure colored nail with either a purple or gold top strip. Play with layering. Have fun with it! After all, it's only a little nail polish. Plus it beats the go-to alternating purple-gold pattern any day.
What are your plans for game day?
