Unique Fourth of July Manicure Ideas

8 Unconventional Fourth of July Manicure Ideas, Because Fireworks Shouldn't Get All The Attention

As much as we like a good old red, white, and blue manicure on the Fourth of July, the occasion lasts for just a day. (In this year's case, a Wednesday, and we need to speak with whoever scheduled it for the middle of the week.) Just like fireworks, the holiday is fleeting, so you might want to roll up to your barbeque or pool party in a mani that will work long after the night ends. That's why we found eight non-cheesy, super chic nail art ideas you can use as inspiration for the Fourth of July. Think: patriotism, but make it fashion.

Goldfingers

Nothing says, "Celebrate good times, come on!" like a gilded manicure. Solid gold nail art as seen on Katherine Langford at this year's Met Gala pairs well with a tan, and will elevate your barbeque attire of short shorts and a crop top.

Pearls

Along with matching our flag, this glamorous accent as seen on Bebe Rexha at the Grammy Awards works well for Summer weddings.

This faded denim colour that Storm Reid wore to the MTV Movie and TV Awards is a fun take on the traditional blue seen in our stars and stripes.

Take a page out of Bhad Bhabie and match your mani to the fireworks with out-there, glitter-fied coffin nails.

Off-White

Easy-to-stain white dresses might give you anxiety around barbeque sauce, but an ivory manicure like this one from Ashlee Simpson-Ross will never fail you.
