July 4th Nail Art

I had a lot of fun last week coming up with these nails! Unfortunately I had some trouble with chipping before we quite got to the 4th, but I was able to repair them all right. I like how it kind of ended up looking like Captain America nail art instead of just 4th of July. It makes me want to do some Avengers-themed nails at some point!

I don't have a full tutorial for this, but I can tell you that I used painter's tape - it turned out to be really easy to cut thin strips to make the stripes. Make them longer than your nail so you have some extra to peel it off later. My biggest problem was, as usual, impatience. You have GOT to wait until the nail polish is completely dry to peel off the tape, or it will take the rest of the polish off with it!
