Whether you plan to spend the day hovering over a grill with your friends or trying to resist the onslaught of sales while chilling at home (we wouldn’t blame you), you might already be considering a manicure of choice for the long weekend. After all, Fourth of July nails do come with a built-in color scheme.
It’s easy to default to a classic American flag manicure, but a more creative design allows you to lean into the year’s already popular nail trends, such as jelly finishes, tiny fruits, and of course, the French manicure. If creating these looks at home seems overwhelming, opt for the easy (yet equally Instagram-worthy) route of using nail stickers or press-on nails. Ahead, some inspiration for nail art that will prompt more oohs and aahs than a fireworks display.
