Inspo: 32 Easy 4th of July Nails for Any Application Method

Whether you’re going to be in Disney World for the holiday or you just really love Mickey Mouse (as do I), these decals are a great way to dress up an otherwise ordinary polish.

The set includes several designs, some featuring Minnie Mouse!

America’s bringing the freedom, but the leopard-print accent in this wrap set is bringing the wild.

Beautiful square, nude press-on nails are giving “patriotic” with fireworks and stars scattered across them.

Grab some star nail stickers to make it insanely easy!

I don’t generally have fake nails, so press-on designs are my preferred method for temporarily dressing up my fingers.

The squoval nails in this “Yankee Doodle” set from Dashing Diva are perfect for the holiday.

Go for a subtle look that still manages to catch attention.

Bright-white almond-shaped gels with a few painted stars on a single nail fit the theme in a subtle way.

Stars are reminiscent of the American flag when they’re done in blue and white.

Some of these press-on nails are full-color while others are French tips, adding interest to the overall look.

A marbled blue on square nails gives a subtle, retro look to your holiday hands.

It’s easy to do at home. Don’t believe me? Check out the tutorial below!

These press-on nails are a bit pricey, but they come with everything you need to apply them if you’re a first-timer.

You also get to pick your shape and size when ordering! (I’m a short oval girl myself.)

The rhinestones, decals, and glitter would take forever to apply by hand, so in the end, this is a great value.

Dramatic red is even more dramatic with a deep French tip for these press-on nails.

The almond shape is ultra-trendy these days, too.

Gels can be anything you want them to be, and these square nails show off casual creativity.

Strips of gold glitter polish and nautical nail stickers accent simple gel polish in patriotic colors.

Neutral metallic nails will take on the colors of their surroundings, including the bright fireworks in the sky.

Plus, there’s no need to pop them off right after the holiday. They’re subtle enough to last all summer.

Dress up your coffin (or ballerina) acrylics with a French-tip style polish design.

You’ll need a set of detail brushes and some French tip guide tape to pull off this look!

These handmade nail wraps from Etsy have clean lines and a classic aesthetic.

They also come at a great price point with perfect reviews.

A French manicure is usually associated with a small amount of polish right at the tips of the nails. But these days, it just means the tips look different from the rest of the nail.

No 4th of July party would be complete without a slice of watermelon. Bring it to the party with these adorable watermelon French tips!

Navy blue (as in the American flag) can be too dark on its own.

Give it a chrome finish, though, and you’ve got a great summer nail.

If you don’t have a steady hand for the red stripes on these French tips, don’t worry. They make line tape for that!

Throw in a solid blue nail with some white star decals for fun.

This triple-color ombre application is a cool way to use dip powder, and it’s easy to do yourself.

You’ll use brushes to tap the white and blue dip powders onto the nail, then you dip the tip directly into the red powder.

These almond-shaped acrylics feature a unique take on the red, white, and blue theme.

Each nail has a different design, including stripes, checkered star blocks, and French tips with flowers.

Not every nail has to have intricate artwork for the set to look good.

Fun nail art doesn’t require the use of special stickers or wraps.

With a steady hand, stripes and stars can easily be painted on by hand.

You don’t have to settle for navy nails to match the flag.

Try an ultra-glossy bright hue instead!

Short nails deserve to be dolled up, too.

A muted blue with a matte finish is a great alternative to the usual shiny, bright manicure.

These nails were done with Revel dip powders (I recommend using Infatuated, Whirlpool, and Isadora).

Mix a bit of the Isadora silver with the red and blue powders to give them all the vibe of a matching set!

Revel’s self-cleaning nail art brush made quick work of these 4th of July nails.

Let the holiday inspire a different design for each nail, including an American flag, fireworks, stars, and stripes.

This vibe will carry you through all of July!
