In the words of Jennifer Coolidge’s character in Legally Blonde, these nails “look like the fourth of July and make us want a hot dog real bad.” But, in all seriousness, these patriotic pairings are perfect for cookouts and beyond, plus they incorporate some of 2023’s hottest summer nail trends to make your mani feel fresh and different.
Rather than blatant American flag designs à la the classic Old Navy t-shirts, your holiday nail art doesn’t have to be too literal. Plenty of nail artists are taking a nod from recent trends like mismatched nails and popsicle polish with just enough of an Americana feel to keep your mani timely.
We’ve rounded up the coolest Fourth of July nail ideas to try including new takes on stars and stripes, ombré designs, and modern French manicures. But it’s not all about the nail art, there are lots of summer polish colors to choose from, too, that’ll look just as good with a beer and sparkler in hand as they will back in office. Scroll on for all the inspo.
