How to create 4th of july nails

Before we get started I want to apologize for the poor picture quality. It's dark in here!

Paint your nails with a base to protect your nails from chipping and getting damaged.

Grab your nail polish. I'm using china glaze hanging in the balance, salsa and an art deco white thin brush.

Paint your pointer fingers blue and the rest of your nails red.

On the red, paint white striped across your nails. Thick or thin. Your choice! Start with the brush at one end of the nail and rotate the nail to create a perfect stripe.

Creat stars with the thin brush by making a traditional star and filling it in. This takes some practice so try it on a piece of paper till you are ready to do it on your nails.

Clean off any nail polish that got on your skin with a cotton swab and nail polish remover.

Now, add a top coat to add a beautiful shine and to keep your polish from chipping.

Have a happy 4th of July!
