Football Season Is Back—24 (Non-Cheesy) Manis to Channel Your Inner WAG

Football season is back in full swing, and if you're a beauty-obsessed sports fan at heart like me, you'll know that this opens the door of opportunity for fun manicures in the months to come. There's nothing I love more than a subtle (or not-so-subtle) nod to my favorite teams with nails. That said, while I'm all for the more on-the-nose designs, I like it when I can wear a mani pre- and post-gameday that still looks elevated and chic.

If you need some inspiration, you're in luck. Below, I created a roundup of 24 non-cheesy NFL-themed manicures that any fan can appreciate. Whether you're hoping to channel your inner WAG or are just a long-time lover of football, you're sure to find something to show your nail tech before your next appointment.

1. Green Bay Packers

These green marble nails with hints of gold are right on par with the Packers' uniforms.

2. Los Angeles Rams

Bold blue nails can go a long way for several teams, but we think this swirly design works best for the Rams.
