FAQs
How do you create a Fourth of July Nail look?
Although holiday-themed manicure styles may seem limiting, Fourth of July looks can have so many inspiration options that are literally just waiting at your fingertips! From bold sparkles to stripes and stars, there are numerous ways you can showcase your unique brand of patriotism.
Although you may be limited to three main colors – the classic red, white, and blue – there are numerous combinations and styles to really make these pop. Try bold pops of red with subtle stripes of white and/or blue. Or, if you’re up for some embellishments, add small pearls to showcase the classic white in your look.
Get creative! Just because you may be limited in color it doesn’t mean you are limited in shapes or styles. Create red, white, and blue flowers or create a fun pattern with colorful polka dots. There really is no limit to what you can do with combing shapes and color and even pops of gold with glitter or stars.
What current nail trends can I incorporate into my Fourth of July Nail manicure?
Maybe you’re stuck getting the same French manicure or using the same red or pink polish you’ve used for years and you’re ready to shake things up this summer for a fresh patriotic look. There are numerous trends you can utilize when looking for inspiration for your patriotic look, including:
- Almond-shaped French manicures that showcase bold colors like gold and red, perfect for the Fourth of July
- Mismatched nails full of various colors. Who says every nail has to be the same color? Maybe you change shades with each nail, creating an ombre look, or pick completely different colors for an even bolder look such as various shades of red and blue with gold accents.
- Less is best. Minimal nail art is also hot right now. This could mean clear polish that features a small gold star on each nail or a simple red nail that has a small white stripe on every other nail.
