The trend, translated
The details matter more than the headline color here: finish, placement and proportion quietly decide whether gingham graduation nails reads couture or costume. Choose one anchor element — a shade, a texture, a motif — and let everything else stay restrained.
The best set is the one you stop noticing — until someone else compliments it.
