Stassi Schroeder's Nail Tip Will Change How You Get Manicures

Getting a manicure is no easy feat. You have to find the time for your appointment while also taking into account when your next fill will be, and taking into account what events you have coming up. Honestly, sometimes it feels like you need an advanced degree in calculus just to get it right. Until now, that is. Schroeder found the perfect way to let your nails grow out without looking tacky — a negative space manicure.

“Ever since I had Hartford, I get negative space manicures so that they grow out without looking ‘grown out,’ since I don’t have as much time to get regular manis,” Schroeder said in her Instagram stories. “And that’s a manicure mom hack.” She also added that her nails don’t feel grown out right when she gets them because “the shape of the color isn’t the shape of the actual nail.”

While she technically calls the manicure style a mom hack, it’s a pretty great hack for anyone who gets busy throughout the month. The idea is to have the bottom part of your nail clear, so it’s less noticeable as your nail grows out. As Byrdie points out, there are tons of different ways to do this, like with different colored stripes across parts of your nail or fun-printed tips. Of course, the white asymmetrical print that Schroeder opted for is a great, chic option too.
