4th of July, Fourth of July Nails That Are So Unique And Festive

We’re already halfway through 2024 and this July, we better take Katy Perry’s advice from her hit song, "Firework. We will definitely have a blast at the start of July because of Independence Day and National Picnic Month. How about a 2-in-1 celebration? Sounds good, right? Pack your picnic baskets with your favorite hotdogs, barbecues, and refreshing drinks, and spend the day in a park or field with your family and friends. Before everything gets busy, pamper yourself this holiday with unique and festive-looking nails. Here are the top nail inspirations you should check out to "own the night like the 4th of July

 

1. Blooming Fourth

Secret ingredient? iGel Beauty’s Blossom Gel - Blooming Effect. This glow-in-the-dark nail set by iGel Beauty Ginny Smith looked extraordinary with the help of Dip & Dap Powder - Glow in the Dark - DDG49 Perle Rosé, a clear powder with a translucent subtle pink undertone, and two LB Duos: LB Duo - LB169 Rose Garden (a cherry red shade) and LB Duo - LB001 Chalk White (a pure white color).
