Patriotic 4th of July Nails

All-American nail art

Bust out your red, white and blue polishes - with some glitter added in for fun - and show your patriotic side with these DIY manicure ideas.

Pick your favorite colors of nail varnish, and buy a striping brush, available at any beauty supply store, and you'll be set. And remember, these designs can be worn all year-round. After all, we live in America, and this would be an appropriate way to show your, ahem, stripes, at an all-American baseball game or just hanging out by the pool.
