At graduation your hands are in every photo, holding your certificate, throwing your cap, hugging family. Here's how to choose nails that look great in all of them.

Classic: neutrals that suit any gown

Graduation gowns are dark, so soft neutrals stand out nicely.

Elegant: French tip

A French tip is timeless in photos: Petal French. More in our French tip guide.

Bold: a classic red

Red against a black gown is striking: Scarlet Silk or Cherry Luxe.

Celebration dinner: go floral

Changing for dinner? Florals like Blush Bouquet or Daisy Dreams feel celebratory.

Timing

Apply the day before. Sets come in sizes XS to L (some designs XS to M), so measure first with the size guide. Follow our application guide.
