4th of July Nails

We instantly fell in love with this 4th of July nail design. Seriously, isn’t it so chic?! This year it’s all about the empty space with nail designs. Adding polka dots in red, white and blue to just the ends of the nails is such a beautiful, modern take on the holiday design.

There’s definitely something about tie dye that resonates seamlessly with the 4th of July. So why not add some tie dye to your nails in red, white and blue? You can break up the tie dye with solid color nails or add some stars to the mix like this manicure.

Make your French manicure holiday appropriate with nail art like this. Mix up the traditional French manicure tip color by rotating red, white and blue. You can keep the ends of the nails to the traditional 4th of July colors, or add that extra holiday touch with stars and dots.

Red, white and blue gets a glitter twist with this mani. We love the almost undone feel of the glitter tips here. White nails are a huge trend this year, adding blue and red glitter to the ends turns the white mani into 4th of July chic.

Texture, or the illusion of texture, is an easy way to add depth to your nail design. Paint your nails with white to create a foundation and use a sponge to add the blue and red to recreate this nail design. Use tape to get straight lines.

We’re all about using the United States flag as inspiration for your 4th of July nails – there really isn’t anything better for inspo! But don’t feel limited by the flag, use it as merely as inspiration. This nail design incorporates the feel of the flag in a way that also feels a bit abstract.

Stars and stripes have never looked more modern. Swapping out the traditional stripes for a wavy line is a chic way to paint your nails for the holiday. We love that all the nails have the red and white stripes with just one in blue and white stars to break up the colors a bit.

Stick to just incorporating blue and red into your nails with a nail look like this. It’s super easy to DIY, too. Simply paint a bright blue color on the entire nail and add red glitter to just the tip of the nails. It gives an updated French manicure type of vibe to the nails. Perfection if you have a short nail length.

For the woman who loves a dramatic nail look, and keeps her nails long this is for you. Stiletto shaped, long nails instantly add edge to any nail design…even 4th of July. Make it edgy by creating a different, abstract design to each nail.

We all associate fireworks with the 4th of July. There’s nothing quite like watching fireworks under the summer sky. Incorporate fireworks into your nail design! If you’re a glitter gal but want a chic design this was made for you.

Sometimes all you need is to add a star. Simple enough, right? This manicure is a DIY dream! All you need is red and white nail polish. Ok, you might want a star stencil to get a perfect star shape. Even though it’s fairly simple the star adds just enough of that holiday touch.

Show your country a little extra love by actually spelling it out. Use a small paint brush OR pen to write the I heart USA on one nail. You can keep the rest of your nails simple or add some glitter to the ends for an added dose of glam.

Have you ever see a more modern 4th of July inspired nail? We sure haven’t and we LOVE it. Nude nails a seem to be everywhere. It’s fresh and simplicity at its finest. Strategically adding glitter stars is genius for a holiday take.

We told you, it’s all about empty space on nails this year. This mani is proof that sometimes leaving a portion of your nail without polish is more fun. It seems like an odd concept, we know, because we’ve been painting our entire nails for so long but if you’re going to try the trend this is the way to do it on the 4th.

Show your American pride by actually saying it with your nails. If you don’t have loose glitter to create this exact nail design you can always use regular nail polish to do the same. The white nail color base really lets the words pop and adds an updated feel.

Stars are always a win on nails, especially for the 4th of July. Keep it stylish with a blue nail color base and add white stars in different places on the nails. We love the stars half shown on the nails for a different look.

We instantly fell in love with this 4th of July nail design. It has the general aesthetic of the American flag, but in an artistic way. Instead of the traditional stars in blue and white, creating the look of dripping paint is ingenious if you ask us.

We are all about detailed nail designs but there’s definitely something special and unique about designs that have beauty in not being perfect. This manicure is stunning BECAUSE it isn’t perfect and symmetric. It makes the nails look like a true work of art.

Polka dots have a special place in all our hearts, particularly on nails. Keep it simple and cute with polka dots done in red, white and blue. Polka dots are easy to DIY for your at-home nail art, an added bonus.

Talk about a fun flip on a French manicure! Adding the idea of the tip from a French mani to the bottom of the nail is incredible. No need to worry about having a steady hand to get a straight line, just use tape.
