Back to School Nail Ideas
- Classic School Supplies Theme
Each nail represents a different school supply item. For example, one nail can be a pencil, with a yellow base, pink tip for the eraser, and a black tip for the lead. Another nail can look like lined notebook paper with a white base, blue horizontal lines, and a red vertical margin line.
The overall look is colorful and playful, perfect for showing off school spirit. - Chalkboard Nails
These nails have a matte black base coat resembling a chalkboard. You can use white nail polish or a thin nail art brush to draw little doodles, math equations, or inspirational words like “A+”, “Learn”, or “Study”.
This design is simple yet impactful, bringing a bit of classroom nostalgia with you. - Alphabet Nails
Each nail features a different letter of the alphabet in a bold, colorful font. You can choose a variety of colors for the letters and a neutral base color like white or beige to make the letters pop.
This design is both fun and educational, showcasing a playful take on learning. - Crayon Nails
Each nail is painted a different bright color to represent a crayon. The tips of the nails can be painted in a jagged pattern to mimic the crayon tips, with a label band in the middle of the nail stating the color name, like “Red”, “Blue”, or “Green”.
This design is vibrant and eye-catching, perfect for those who love colorful and creative nails. - Equation Nails
These nails feature simple math equations or symbols. A white base coat can serve as the background, and black polish can be used to draw equations like “2+2=4”, “x+y=z”, or basic geometric shapes.
This design is perfect for math enthusiasts and adds a unique, intellectual touch to your look.
