The days are getting longer, schools are letting out, and temperatures are rising. This can only mean one thing - summer is on it’s way! From Memorial Day to Labor Day, summer is a time to relax and recharge, gather with friends and family for BBQs and pool time, and maybe even do a little vacation travelling.
It also is the season to show off your red, white, and blue! When I think of summer, I think of one thing - the Fourth of July! Fireworks, parades, patriotic marches, American flags - the whole thing! Americans love showing off their patriotism and celebrating the grand ol’ US of A, and I am here for it.
When it comes to holidays, I like to go all out in my outfit planning. Color-coordinated clothing, fun earrings and socks, and of course, nails! Whether you are like me and don crazy head-to-toe looks, or you prefer a more subtle nod to the day, Ivy & Ash has your holiday nail art needs covered.
I’ve put together three patriotic nail art looks that are great for Memorial Day, Labor Day, or Independence Day. They range from simple to spectacular, and will surely get you in the spirit for celebrating. Here are our three go-to looks for red, white, and blue nails!
Classic Red
Love to celebrate, but not in an over-the-top way? A simple red solid nail wrap is the perfect option for you. Try our Red Velvet nail wrap for a deeper red, or Cheerful Red nail wrap for a brighter look. Our nail wraps last up to two weeks, so you can rock this solid nail color over the holiday weekend and easily transition to a classic office appropriate manicure!
Glitter Mixed Mani
It’s no secret that I love our glitter nail wraps. They really pack a punch with the sparkle factor! It’s like having little glittery fireworks on your fingers! For a more simple look that still has USA vibes, choose from our Spirited Blue Shimmer, Rosy Red Sparkle, or Silver Shimmer nail wraps. Or better yet, mix and match all three for the full red, white, and blue effect!
Fun and Festive Print
If you are ready to go all out (like me!) and amp up your 4th of July fierceness, then check out our festive USA themed prints! My personal favorite this season is the American flag inspired Star Spangled (I told you I love glitter nails!), but last year I loved sporting the simple but bold Land of the Free look.
No matter what look you are going for during these summer patriotic holidays, don’t forget your nails! Our nail wraps are quick and easy to apply and are the perfect little detail for any outfit. Click here to browse all of our nail wraps in our full collection.
