Fourth of July festivities are just around the corner, and our favorite summer holiday is the perfect excuse to experiment with bold color, holographic shine, and star-shaped glitter (or a firework-worthy combo of all three). Reflecting the holiday's lively spirit, many brands are releasing sparkle-laced lacquers, confetti topcoats, and mesmerizing metallics which can be layered over cream polishes for a fun, textured effect. Warning: sparks will fly.
Typically we associate a show-stopping shade of red with the cooler months of fall and winter. However, the moody nail color is having a moment this summer and surpassing the obvious candy-apple crimsons of summers past. We love how unexpected the polish shade looks paired with bronzed skin, sun-kissed highlights and our favorite cut-offs.
