Create Memphis Milano inspired nails

The television show "Saved by the Bell" embodied all things '80s with its brightly colored introduction and catchy theme song. We watched as Zack, Slater, Kelly, Screech and friends navigated the turmoil of teen years at Bayside High School, all while donning perfectly campy outfits and sky-high hair.
Admittedly, there are some things we are happy to leave behind in the
1980s, such as mullets and cut-off tees. At the same time, it's hard not to love the unapologetic "extra-ness" of it all. Bring the best of the '80s back with this over-the-top, fun nail design. It's easy to achieve and customizable to your taste and nail size.
