Stars + Stripes
1. Paint half your pointer finger with pale blue polish.
2. Draw on white stars with a thin brush.
3. To get that faded-flag look, swipe red and white stripes on a sponge and press it gently onto the rest of your
nails.
Patriotic Sparkle
1. Apply a clear base coat followed by two coats of a matte white polish.
2. Dot on a red, white, and blue glitter polish, spreading out the glitter to get a fun, paint-splatter vibe.
4. Finish with a top coat and you're done!
Fireworks
1. Paint all
nails with black polish.
2. Use a tiny brush to paint blue and yellow bursts on nails.
3. Apply a glittery top coat for extra sparkle.
Color Block
1. Paint all nails a light tan color.
2. Using a small nail brush or a toothpick, paint a stripe of blue at the top of each nail.
3. Paint a stripe of red under the blue.
4. Seal with a topcoat.
Ice Cream Sundae
1. Start with the chocolate by painting a wobbly brown stripe on the tip of your nail.
2. Then add a row of vanilla under the brown with white polish, leaving the rest of your nail bare.
3. Fill in the rest with a strawberry shade. It's okay if it's a bit messy; it will look melted!
4. Now for the cherry on top! Dab a dot of red polish on top of the pink; use a toothpick to draw the stem.
