We can all agree America is the land of the free, home of the ultra-chic nails. But you don’t have to go all the way to the nail salon to get a festive manicure this summer. Patriotic nail art is going to be all the rage this weekend, and you want yours to be one-of-a-kind! Here’s a little inspiration for you to take in before you hit all the barbecues and pool parties this weekend.

FIREWORK FINGERS

These nails will turn heads! Paint a white coat on each nail (wait a few minutes to dry), then take dotting nail brush to precisely draw the outline of the fireworks. No need for a steady hand on this one! Fireworks are meant to look all over the place. Have fun with it!
