Back to School Nails for 2023
It’s August, which means HOT days, lots of sunshine, and…back to school (or heading to college for the first time!).
When you have to study a lot, take notes in class, and write papers, you might as well have some fun back to school nails to look at…right?
Many women go to salons to get their nails done, but gel nail polish can damage your nails and it can get expensive to get your nails done professionally.
Instead, why not have fun back to school nails that you can do at home?
With the right fall nail polish color and fun back to school nail decals or stickers, you can get colorful, eye-catching back to school nails for fall 2023.

Base Coat and Top Coat Nail Polish for Back to School DIY Nails
Before using ANY of the nail polish above, it’s helpful to use a base coat of nail polish and a top coat of nail polish.
Base Coat Nail Polishes for Back to School Nails
A base coat of nail polish makes your nail polish last longer, it protects your nails, and it prevents staining.
You don’t need to use an expensive base coat. I personally stick to the base coats by OPI.
Top Coat Nail Polishes for Back to School Nails
A top coat makes your nails look shiny and helps to prevent chipping of the nail polish.
It is especially important to use a top coat of nail polish when using nail decals or stickers, as it helps prevent the nail art from peeling off.
I personally use the OPI or the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel top coat nail polish.
Health Note: Don’t get the Seche Vite top coat nail polish. It gets AMAZING reviews and women absolutely LOVE how it looks. My hair dresser who knows all things beauty said that all of her clients wear by it. BUT…Seche Vite nail polish has a toxic ingredient in it (toluene), which is really bad for you.
How to Apply Back to School Nail Decals
If you are new to using nail decals, have no fear. It is SUPER easy. Basically, you just need to apply your base coat and let it try completely, apply the nail decals or stickers, and then apply a top coat.
This short 2 minute YouTube video shows you how to apply nail decals for easy and fun looking nails.
