I hardly ever paint my finger nails and toe nails. When I do paint my toe nails it’s really fast and I leave it on until it mostly comes off over a duration of months. It’s not that I do not want to it’s just lack of time. Since our family will be enjoying a nice long weekend at the beach and pool I decided to paint my toe nails but a different way then any other way I have ever painted them! I painted them red, white and blue to celebrate 4th of July!
I would have never thought of ever taking pictures of my feet and putting them on my blog but I was happy how they turned out and I wanted to share how easy it is to do! Now I know they do not look professional by any means but it was my 1st time ever painting a flag on my toes and to top it off my 5 kids were in my bathroom watching me so there was pressure!
All you need are red, white and blue nail polishes. I also used a clear top coat. First I painted the big toe nail white and allowed it to dry. Then I started the red, white and blue pattern on the rest of my toes. Once the big toes dried I painted a blue square in the upper left had corner of the nail. While that was drying I painted second coats on my other toes. Then I went back to the big toe nail and painted the red stripes. The stripes are not really straight but that was the hardest task of all! Then I painted little white dots in the blue square as the stars. Finally when everything was dry I did a top coat, viola!
What do you think? Give it a try and have patriotic toes too this 4th of July!
Awww, those came out so cute! I might have to steal your idea and do it on my own toenails 😉
How super cute. I might have to do this for my toes for the 4th!
We are on the same page, Mistee! I might do it, too!
Your toes are super cute. I never think to do this kinda thing and I wish I would. You also have a great site here. I will be back to snoop around more.
Those Patriotic toes are adorable!! Wonder if I’m flexible enough to do that design on my own toes 🙂
I think that is a great idea. Will have to try that on my granddaughter.
Ha ha! Those are adorable! I will have to try it, too!
SO CUTE!!! I always paint my toes the same color, so I think this would be a great way to break out of my normal “style” Love it!
Me too! I always think about doing themed toes, but I never remember.
Those are so cute. I love the Red, White and blue flag!
adorable 🙂 love it!
Those are so adorable. I want to try them on my daughter!
WOW! Have a wonderful 4th.
Super cute! I don’t think that I can reach my toes to do this now, but maybe hubby will do it for me!!!
Great job, I could never accomplish that, I’m too shaky!
Your toes came out so adorable! That reminds me, I need a pedicure something fierce!
Your nails turned out great! I think those stripes would be the death of me.
Adorable I Do This Every Year With The Girls They Love It. Thank You For Sharing!!
That’s really cute! And it didn’t even cost u anything – except maybe some sweat due to the spectator pressure! Ha!
Oh those are some precious toes!! Love it!
Super cute!! I hardly ever take the time to paint my toenails, but my daughter loves to paint hers. I’ll have to show her your idea.
Mine are always painted and I do like to paint them for the holidays.
Very nice, it looks really simple and patriotic!
So cute! I don’t think I could ever do that myself.
Cute! I think I might do some tie dye nails or something not too sure yet.
I love these nails!
How cute! I am definitely no good at nail art, so my toes will just be a solid red this year. Haha.
I’m glad you showed them off! They really did turn out so darn cute!
Those are s cute, I need to get my nails done badly!!!
I love your toe design!
I love them! I save time by using nail wraps.
And now you are ready for the 4th!! They came out very good!
They look great! I don’t have enough nails to paint so I am always jealous of those that do.
That’s cute, I need to do this!
Aww! You did a great job! Happy 4th of July!
Very cute! My hands aren’t steady enough to do those stripes!
Adorable! Perfect for the 4th of July. I’ll have to try this tonight.
I actually thought about doing this after i saw this post but we will be in the car all day on the 4th so will wait till we get to our hotel!
I could never paint my own designs but lately I’m a fan of dipped glitter. So easy to do!
I did mine for 4th of July also and they look great. Yours do too. How do I post a pic for you to see,
Can you post the nails photo I sent you on your bloog? Would like feedback from your bloogers.
Great job! I don’t know if I’d be able to pull that off. Looks great though.
How cute! You actually did it lol, no offense or anything but yesterday my daughters and I attempted to do this and it ended up a disaster. Kudos to you. I havent mastered designing my nails yet.
These are so cute! I am terrible at nail art, I wish I could do this!
These are very American and awesome.
