Fourth of July Nails!

FLAG NAILS: These nails are patriotic, cute, and easy!  Start off with a base coat of white nail polish then, in one of the lower corners, paint a square about a quarter of your nail.  Then, take a toothpick and make red stripes.   Use the other end of the toothpick to make white dots on the blue section.  Voila!  A flag!
FIREWORK NAILS:  These nails are a little more advanced, but they are still cute and easy.  First, paint all of your nails red, then, with a toothpick, make a white dot somewhere off center and then draw white curved lines coming out of it.  Then, draw blue lines coming out of that.  Apply a sparkle coat on top and wait for it to dry. You can skip the next step, but I think it really adds to the design.  Take the glitter polish and put a gloopy dot over the white dot you made, then place a rhinestone over that, wait for it to dry before doing the next nail, once all of the nails are dry, apply one last sparkle coat ad voila!
