Having your manicure game on lock is almost as important as your outfit. The ladies on the scene at SLATE at Magic had the nails going on! From the above fav spotted at the Mishka booth to Mama keeping it classy with a gray and black french mani. The ladies for the most part kept the nail lengths on the shorter side but made up for the length in design!
