The Fourth of July truly marks the start of sweet summertime. From yummy barbecues spent poolside to long beach days tanning under the warm sun, IMO, it’s one of the most underrated holidays (that always ends in fireworks).
Personally? I tend to opt for more minimal, “quiet luxury” ‘fits in lieu of loud red, white, and blue ensembles. But the real fun begins with a colorful mani-pedi moment that taps a festive hue or two (but isn’t too cheugy, either).
This summer, Baywatch-inspired shades of cherry red are very much on-trend, and of course, nothing feels quite as clean and crisp as white tips and toes. If you much prefer an eye-catching design, juicy cherries and yummy watermelon art has been spotted on the likes of A-listers like Kourtney Kardashian in recent months — and of course, the scarlet-hued fruits are a summertime staple fit for the holiday.
If you just so happen to need a bit help narrowing down nail art inspo ahead of your upcoming salon visit, you’ve come to the right place. From low-key designs that are a vibe well beyond the Fourth, to star-crossed art that is a bit more patriotic — here are 40 unique manicure ideas for the beloved July holiday.

American Manicure
Traditionally, a French manicure features a sheer pink base color, with a stark white tip painted on top with sharp, crisp lines. On the other hand, an American manicure is meant to appear a bit softer and less contrasted, featuring a slightly more peach-colored base color, along with a more subtle off-white tip creating the look of “your natural nail beds, but much better.”
