Easy Patriotic Nail Art Ideas For The Fourth Of July - Dry Water Marble

Step 1 - Start by painting your nails any color you would like now to create the marbled/ tie dye design/ Patriotic 

Step 2 - Create a quarter circle on the side of the nail

I'm taking three colors and applying them with the nail polish brush in a c shape at the corner of my nail

Step 3 - Create the Design

Step 4 - Finish with a quick drying top coat.

Here's what the finished manicure looks like I love this is design because multiple capacity. What does it look like to you.. Does it look like fireworks, tie-dye, or something else?

Taking a Cosmetic Sponge Rip 3 chunks off a makeup sponge with a pair of tweezers.

A. Take the sponge chunk and dip it into a dark polish and create a horizontal line in the center of the nail this is going to create depth and our ocean.

B. Take a clean sponge chunk. dip it in the white polish and dab at the tip of the nail once your satisfied with the color... allow your nails to dry for a few minutes.


C.Take tan polish and create the beach shore along the tip of the nail.

D. Follow up with some waves crashing onto the shoe by taking a white polish and a dotting tool and creating little Swegles along the beach line


Step 4: Add Some Beach Details

Take some brown polish and a toothpick and create some small details to look like rocks or maybe some foot prints across the sand! You can be as creative as you would like. 

Taking tan polish I'm going to create The beach along the tip of the nail and waves crashing into the beach by taking a white polish and a dotting tool and creating little Swegles along the beach line
