It doesn’t get more patriotic than these flag-themed nails. To keep the manicure from looking busy or overwhelming, nail art on just two fingers is a good idea. Try flag press-on nails if this seems above your skill set.Shutterstock

These fireworks-inspired nails are lit. To recreate the look, use a neutral base, and when it dries, layer as much chunky glitter as you want. Jin Soon has a fun daisy-shaped confetti polish that looks like bursting fireworks.mikroman6/Moment/Getty Images
