8 Patriotic 4^th of July Nail Ideas

Best of all, you don’t have to drop big bucks at a nail parlor. These simple designs can all be done from the comfort of your home! 

Patriotic Stars

Stars are one of the quintessential symbols of the 4^th of July. For patriotic nails, apply these star stickers to your base coat. Extra points if your nails are painted red, white, or blue! You can add one on each nail or dress up an individual finger of your choice.

Ombre Nails

We always love a good ombre design from Etsy, especially when they’re on your nails! For this mani, you’ll need five different shades of red (or blue!). Start by painting the lightest shade on your pinky, then the second lightest shade on your ring finger. And so on! Although this look is great for the 4^th, we love the style for our nails any time of the year!

The French 4^th

A French manicure is a classic look that looks good on everyone. But for this holiday, we’re putting a spin on the classic by swapping the white polish for patriotic colors! Simply paint a thin strip of red or blue (or both) to the tip of your nails. If you’re having trouble making an even line, use liquid nail tape to help you paint the perfect tip!

One Nail Sparkles

If you want to be festive but not too over the top, consider adding a bit of glam to just one of your fingers. You can paint your nails any color you like. Then, take some nail foil from Etsy or glitter and add it over one nail. This is a popular trend for brides (they usually dress up the ring finger), although it looks great on any finger!

Patriotic Polka Dots

For a fun and playful look, dress up your nails using red, white, and blue polka dots! You can choose your base color (we like a subtle nude, baby pink, or white). Then, take a toothpick and dab it with any color of your choice. Dot them onto your nails in a row or pattern! Or, you can get these polka dot nail wraps! A few even have Mickey Mouse ears, making them perfect for the American Disney fan!

Mix ‘n Match

You don’t have to add stickers or glitter to show your pride this 4^th. A simple alternating red, white, and blue nail is a timeless look that still screams summer. In our opinion, polka dot nail wraps makes some of the best nail polish available. Plus, they come in dozens of colors, so you have plenty of shades to choose from!

Fruit Stickers

The 4^th of July is synonymous with BBQs, and BBQs and synonymous with delicious foods! That’s why these little fruit-themed nail stickers are perfect for your manicure. You have all the classic backyard BBQ fruits – watermelons, cherries, strawberries, and more!

Rhinestone Jewels

A bedazzled nail is guaranteed to make your nails pop! And although we love rhinestones on our nails all year, they are especially festive on the 4^th of July. fruit-themed nail stickers comes with gemstones in all different colors. Or you can go all out and add them to all your nails for a more glamorous look!
