Top Ten Back-to-School Beauty Buys

Perfecting Nail Veils Mini Londontown

Your actual age doesn’t matter; this time of year will always be back to school. One cool breeze in the air is all it takes to trigger the impulse to stock up on notebooks and highlighters, loafers and plaid skirts.

So if you’re headed back to the classroom or dorm room, now’s the time to round up the beauty supplies you’re going to need, freeing you up later to focus on cramming for finals.

To set you up for an A+ in beauty, we asked our Londontown crew to share some of their fall favorites. Read on for our Top 10 Back to School Beauty Buys, so you can go back-to-dorm in style and stock your vanity faster than you can find extra-long twin sheets.

1. Day to Night Cuticle Oil Set

This three-piece assortment sets you up for a semester of healthy nails. Roll on the delectably-scented Agave Pear, Dragonfruit, and Lavender cuticle oils day or night. It takes under a minute to keep the skin around your nails moisturized and supple after endless hours of note-taking.

2. Glass Nail File

Who has time for flimsy emery boards? A glass nail file should last you longer than the school year and take optimal care of your nails, smoothing edges more precisely than traditional files. Plus, in the prettiest design, you’ll actually remember to use it and put it back where it belongs.

3. Whipped Cloud Hand Cream

Once your cuticles are handled and your nails shaped, reach for our super-hydrating hand cream. (Out of sight is out of mind, so keep it in your shower caddy.) Its light texture packs loads of nourishing emollients, taking skin from dry to silky-smooth in your downtime.

4. No Bite Nail Recovery

The stress of midterms and finals is real, but No Bite Nail Recovery invisibly saves nails and cuticles from yourself. Its unpleasant but harmless taste discourages mindless nibbling while, true to Londontown form, a blend of fortifying vitamins and strengthening botanicals supports healthy nail growth.

5. Londontown Discovery Set

Out of time to cherry-pick what mani supplies to bring? We’ve got you. Bring the best nail care formulas and tools to your dorm with this nail, cuticle and hand care kit. From prepping (cuticle care, files, base coat) and polishing (experience Illuminating Nail Concealer, Perfecting Nail Veil and Lakur) to perfecting the look (hand cream, top coat), you’re missing nothing. 

6. Perfecting Nail Veil Mini Set

Get your hands on this curated new collection of Perfecting Nail Veils, including our latest lavender tint. These four universally-flattering mini versions of our best-selling Nail Veils impart a kiss of color along with nourishing alpha hydroxy acids for a one-step wash of conditioning color. Once you’ve tried them all, it’s easy to upgrade to your full-size new faves.

7. Conceal + Go Bubble

Two of our top products pair up for everything you need to make nails look sleek and chic—and last for a week. Our Illuminating Nail Concealer in Bubble, a pretty pale pink, acts as a filter for natural nails, making them look airbrushed to perfection. Follow up with Gel Genius Top Coat for long-lasting, high-shine chip resistance.  

8. Londontown Total Care Set

This set makes at-home nail care a snap. Six full-size bottles were selected to make your start-to-finish routine effortless. Including Soft Touch Nail Scrub to polish the surface, Nail Probiotic Instant Boost for a rejuvenating pre-polish treatment, Nourishing Cuticle Oil, Nail Hardener & Base Coat, Illuminating Nail Concealer, and Gel Genius Top Coat, this five-star set assembles everything nails need for a quick glow-up from your school or dorm room.  

9. Mod Mood Collection

Not unlike a new set of markers or fresh box of crayons, there’s something eternally thrilling about a kit full of fresh colors. Within this one box, you’ve got an array of shades to carry you through the changing seasons, including pale pink Invisible Crown, purple Berry Nude, and bright red Down to Dilly.   

10. Sole Soothing Trio

Running around campus can do a number on your feet, so show them love between pedicures with our creamy Foot Balm, glass foot file, and Pedi Perfect Moisturizing Spa Socks set. The oversized file smooths thick skin, in or out of the shower. Slip on the socks, conveniently pre-lined with moisturizing gel, whether you’ve got all night or 30 minutes between classes. Give tired feet a mini-massage with the hydrating Foot Balm when you need added de-stressing.
