4th of July- USA Nail Art Tutorial

With the 4th of July coming up next week and with team USA advancing in the World Cup, I thought it was a good time for some patriotic nails.  I came up with this simple design and created a tutorial in case you want to try it too!

What You'll Need:
Clear Base Coat
Blue Nail Polish
White Nail Polish
Red Nail Polish
Top Coat
Toothpicks

Step 1.  Apply the clear base coat on your nails (I used Seche Clear base coat).

Step 2.  Once the clear coat is dry, pick a blue polish you like and paint your nails that color.  I used a pretty sparkly blue polish by Sinful Colors called "Blue By You."

Step 3.  After the blue polish has dried, grab your white polish and a toothpick and paint a star on one of your fingers.  I chose the ring finger but you can choose a different one if you prefer- or you could even paint stars on all of them if you like!  Here's a graphic I made on how to freehand paint a star onto your nail.

Step 4.  Once your star is done and has dried, grab your red polish and a new toothpick and add red stripes next to the star.

Step 5.  After the red polish has dried, add your top coat (I used Seche Vite dry fast top coat) and you are done!

This nail art could also be Captain America inspired nails since they match him too!  My husband pointed that out when he saw them.  :)

I hope this tutorial is helpful.  Let me know if you try it out!
