Hello everyoneeee! So this is a post long due, I actually did this design while I was practicing teaching in my practicum. As a teacher, it gave me an opportunity to do some interesting things with my nails and since I was teaching math, it gave me all the reason to do so!
The nailpolishes that I used for this were Sally Hansen's Celeb City and a black nail art pen that had a very thin brush! For I applied two coats of Celeb City and then proceeded with making the math symbols. Now obviously, math isn't restricted down to 10 symbols but instead, my shaking hand could only do 10 symbols properly without messing up haha! Even though I was practicing on a piece of paper prior to putting it on my nail, it was still so difficult to do it nicely and to make sure that the design was in the middle of the nail! When I got to school, the students that I taught all noticed my nails, even my practice teaching supervisor/teacher...they all laughed at me for being a nerd but hey sometimes you gotta let your nerd shine out!
What do you think about this design? Like it or too much?

*Pictures are mines!

Thanks for reading :)
