We’re guessing math probably isn’t your favorite subject, but its symbols can actually be used to create some pretty awesome geometric nail art! Triangles, squares, diamonds, and even hearts are all considered geometric shapes.
Used correctly, your nail art can become intense, detailed, and three times as interesting than a simple style that features a plain, one-color nail design.
