4th of July Nail Tutorial!


I wanted to do some fun 4th of July themed nails for tomorrow. I feel like every one does some variation of stars and strips so i mixed it up a bit by doing a tie-dye inspired red, white and blue nails that are reminiscent of fireworks!

How to get these nails:
1. Start by putting on your favorite base coat.
2. Apply 1 coat of white nail polish.
3. Apply red, white, and blue nail polish thickly in a sort of semi-circle strip pattern.
4. Quickly, before the nail polish starts to dry, lightly drag a tooth pick through the strips starting with the white. This will drag the colors together and create the "tie-dye" effect.
5. Use a cotton ball and nail polish remover to clean up around the edges.
6. Finish off with a top coat!
Tip: Get creative and start the pattern from different areas of your nails.


Products used:
Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat
China Glaze- Snow

Hope your having a wonderful day!
