15 Standout 4th of July Manis That Aren’t Cliche

Cue the fireworks and celebratory red, white and blue to match — Independence Day is fast-approaching. As you begin coordinating a weekend’s worth of patriotic ensembles (duh!), don’t forget about the most statement-making accessory yet: your nails! In lieu of the traditional stars and stripes, we’re taking a more subtle approach to our manis this year. Scroll on for 15 patriotic manicures that aren’t overdone.

1. Negative Space Nail Art: Negative space manicures are pretty damn gorgeous. Not only are they relatively easy to DIY, but all the cool girls are sporting them. (via @paintboxnails)

2. Mix + Match Patterns: Why opt for one print when you can have them ALL? (that’s our philosophy, at least.) Start with a blue base coat and then dress up your nails with a medley of criss-crosses, starbursts and horizontal lines using either white or red polish. (via @sfpartynails for Brit + Co)

3. Team Spirit Nails: Grab your nail art pens for this Insta-worthy design that is guaranteed to rack up the likes. If you’re Team USA, try this mani that puts your country’s colors front and center. (via Love Maegan)

4. Albert Mertz Nail Wraps ($13): When you find yourself strapped for time, nail wraps are the perfect remedy. Skip a trip to the salon by sticking these art-inspired wraps on your digits for a unique conversation-starting look. We can’t stop staring.

5. Slanted Tips: For a runway-approved mani that errs on the minimalist side, these slanted tips are both modern and edgy at the same time. Choose between navy, red or white depending on your attire for the day. (Photo by Chelsea Lauren/Getty Images)

6. Paisley Nails: These paisley nails with a southern flair will fit right in with your obligatory uniform of denim cut-offs and a striped tee. Limit the paisley design to just a few of your nails to avoid an overly matchy-matchy look. (via The Zoe Report)

7. Silver Leaf Manicure: For fancier Fourth of July shindigs, this silver leaf manicure is on fleek. These silver tips would look spectacular with an LBD and some pretty finger jewels. (via Into the Gloss)

8. Squiggly Flowers: It’s about time we introduced a new motif into the mix. In place of stars, swirly flowers are a welcomed alternative. If you look close enough, they almost resemble fireworks in the sky. (via Sephora)

9. Patriotic Color Palette: If nail art isn’t your forte, then there’s nothing wrong with keeping things simple. Allow your accent nail to serve as the focal point of your mani by jazzing it up with some stars in the shape of a half moon design. (via Fancy Finger Guns)

10. Half and Half: At last, a manicure that shows our love for the U.S. of A. minus the stars and stripes. While the patriotic color palette is still present, the two-tone design keeps us guessing. (via The Zoe Report)

11. Patriotic Stars: Forget the stripes; we are all over this fun star-embellished mani. So much so, that we might just flaunt it on the Fourth and beyond. (via Emi’s Manis)

12. Festive Mani for the Fourth: Say what?! This is the nail hack of the century. Apply a cobalt blue base coat, swipe on some glitter and voilà. Behold, a manicure that will outshine any fireworks show. (via Nailderella)

13. Abstract Geometric Design: For the all-American girl who wants nothing more than a holiday weekend filled with baseball, hot dogs and sparklers, this abstract design would be perf. Can you spot the hidden star? (via Nylon)

14. JinSoon Patriotic Mani: Because JinSoon can do no wrong, we’re more than happy to give this playful manicure a try. Dress up a white base with pretty waves that practically bounce off your fingertips. (via Byrdie)

15. Fireworks Mani: Boom! We think Katy Perry would totes dig this mani. Instead of R, W + B hues, this simple fireworks design explodes without going overboard. (via Glitter and Gloss Nails)

October 31 may seem light-years away, but if last-minute Halloween costumes stress you out, then you know it’s never too early to start planning for a killer getup. Makeup and hair are a given, but the perfect costume isn’t complete without an amazing mani. This year we’ve pulled out all the stops with a mega-roundup of the scariest, spookiest, and all-around amazing Halloween nails ever. From black-cat French tips to pumpkin-face nail art to the most stellar sugar-skull nails we’ve *ever* seen, here are 40 manicures that are basically costumes for your nails.

Wear pastels and eat ice cream, of course! I was SO inspired by @superninjaflyingmonkey’s recent pastel pop art Frankenstein mani that I immediately started planning my own version. Since I do not have the fantastic Frankie eating ice plate Jolene used, I had to get creative. This mani was so fun to do! The down side is that I literally spent my entire day yesterday working on it! I’m quite proud that I managed to use a completely different color combo on of my 10 fingers! That probably had a lot to do with how time consuming it was! 😅Not to mention the tiny details in the ice cream and popsicles almost killed me! And a double layered reverse stamp, too. You better believe I’m keeping these on ALLLLL week, ha. I will try to get some help taking pics of my right hand later. Anyway I hope you guys like my Frankie and his bride pastel pop art mani! #frankensteinnails #popartnails #uberchicbeauty #BMS201 #essieblossomdandy #chinaglazelimeafterlime #chinaglazewhipitgood #fingerpaintshueknew #salonperfectbellini #sallyhansenpinkblink #summernails #halloweennails #everydayishalloween #reversestamping #advancedstamping"

My French manicure has overstayed it's welcome, but it's only because I've been so busy saving fall nail ideas to my Pinterest board for next season. I've officially checked out of summer because there's almost always a daily heat wave or run-in with a pesky mosquito that thinks it's discovered liquid courage within my legs' veins. I'm over it, and more than ready for fall!

Do you need some new autumnal options too? Good, then get in because we're going shopping! Get ready to take as many screenshots as your phone can handle because the fall nail ideas are going to make sure you're ready for cozy weather and spooky season.

Stylish Fall Nail Ideas

KISS

Kiss Voguish Fantasy Press-On Nails (Unbroken Love)

Whether you've got fashion week or pumpkin spice season on your mind, these nails have fall written all over them. Okay, they technically have 'love' and cute French chrome accents on them, but you get what I mean.

They're subtle enough to match fall's cozy vibes without fading into obscurity and it's the type of thing I love. I'd personally wear this nail idea as soon as fall starts to show my gratitude for my favorite season.

They serve as the perfect transition between two seasons so you could actually get them a few days before summer ends!

Jasmine Williams

Black And White Abstract Nails

Don't count abstract nails out because there's still a way to make them work for fall. Opt for a black and white color palette to serve as your base while letting the hand drawn designs do most of the talking.

This is still one of my favorite sets to date because it went with everything outfit I chose to wear. Athleisure? No problem. Cowgirl status? You bet!

Bellacures

French Metallic Nails

Love the first couple of fall nail ideas, but want to focus on a chrome French manicure? You've come to the right place!

Similar to the first idea, these nails can be transitional because they're ambiguous and aren't beholden to any rules. You can request these at your nail next appointment or you can wait to debut them after fall's been around for a month.

They'll go with plenty of the fall fashion ideas you're saving to your Pinterest board.

Target

Chillhouse Chill Tips Nail Art Press On Fake Nails (Gone Glamping)

I know you plan to go glamping this fall, so let your nails match nature with a pop of forest green! It's arguable whether you should wear press-on nails in the great outdoors, but no one said you had to do any of the heavy lifting.

If you plan to keep existing in your soft girl era, these press-on nails from Chillhouse are a cute fall nail idea to take on your overnight trip in the forest.

Paintlab

PAINTLAB Tortie Press-on Nails

If you don't buy these press-on nails, I surely will! I love anything tortoise shell — I'll run up the hill towards it every time. It's this close to replacing my love for leopard print, but that's TBD. The point is, these nails are another great fall staple to have.

The only fall rule I have is that varying shades of brown and black together create the best fall neutral. Once you pair it with a rounded almond nail shape, you have one of the best fall nail ideas out there.

I could tell you to stop scrolling because you don't need anymore options, but there's still so much more to explore!

Cozy Fall Nail Ideas

Target

Olive & June Press-on Oval Medium Fake Nails

If you're taking a break from nail art, focus on getting basic nail colors! You can still wear press-on nails this fall, but you'll look like a chic Editor from Runway magazine with these oxblood nails.

You'll be able to secure them with non-toxic and on-damaging glue which is a relief. No one said anything about cute fall styles and damaged nails!

Londontown

Londontown Posh Forever Metallic Nail Polish

Give yourself a gorgeous gel manicure at home with Londontown's metallic nail polish! Thanks to the amazing formula of proprietary kur care, you'll receive a nice dose of strength, moisture, and cute fall nails with each brush stroke.

Also, it's obvious that this nail polish is a must-have for anyone who's been counting waiting to order their drink from the Starbucks fall menu. As you can see, it looks gorgeous against a cream rib knit sweater! You can also pair it with neutral matching sets while you're at it.

Ella + Mila

Ella + Mila Bags Are Packed Blue Nail Polish

Jewel tones are so fall, so go for a true blue nail polish like this one by Ella + Mila. It doesn't contain any animal-derived ingredients which is great for anyone who prefers vegan beauty products. It also dries really quick and claims to be chip-resistant. That's a great feature if you use your hands a lot!

Bellacures

Peek-a-boo Black Nail Polish

Classic black nails will always be in. You can call these nails moody, but it doesn't change the fact they're going to be the most versatile idea you wear this fall.

Since there's no additional rhinestones or nail designs associated with this idea, you can actually recreate this at home. It can be your way of saving money so you don't have to choose between toilet paper and wine à la Shonda Rhimes.

Spooky Fall Nail Ideas

Glamnetic

Glamnetic Sandworm Press-On Nails

"Look! You've been to Saturn! I've been to Saturn! Whoa, sandworms, you hate ’em, right" is one of my favorite unhinged quotes from Beetlejuice that match these press-on nails perfectly.

Since we're finally getting a long-awaited sequel to the cult classic, it feels fitting that I include these beauties in the fall nail ideas roundup. They mix a bit of the sandworms' design with the classic Beetlejuice suit I love to see Michael Keaton wear so I think this means you just discovered your Halloween costume. 👀

Walmart

Salon Perfect Halloween Press-on Nails (Orange Pumpkin)

The first movie I think about when I see these nails is Scream. That's one of my favorite teen slasher films that I still watch to this day so I love how these designs seem to pay homage to Ghostface.

The pumpkins and orange crochet lines are an added touch that takes the edge off the 'killer' aspect which may make some people feel more comfortable looking at your nails. Then again, it doesn't really matter if other people don't get them.

Bellacures

Spooky Spider Nails

Undoubtedly someone doesn't have a fear of spiders and I applaud you for having the courage I don't. So, if you're trying to think of your next spooky Halloween costume, let these nails be your guiding light.

They're deliciously witchy and seem like you can conjure pumpkins to break out in a jubilated song.

The current season isn't over yet so check out 33 summer nails we love!

The best shows leave you constantly thinking and wanting more, waiting on the edge of your seat episode after episode to figure out exactly what’s going on. Well, if you’re still thinking about The Union & Citadel: Diana, get excited because Apple TV+ has a new thriller that’s sure to enthrall you: Prime Target.

Prime Target follows Edward Brooks, who’s come up with an idea that would allow him to access every computer in the world. However, someone is trying to stop him — so what’s the bigger conspiracy at play here?

Here’s everything we know so far about Prime Target, coming to Apple TV soon!

​Your First Look At Leo Woodall & Quintessa Swindell In ‘Prime Target’

Apple TV+

While we can’t figure out too much from the three images we have so far, it gives us our first look at Edward and Taylah both individually and together. And you could cut the tension with a knife!

​What is the main plot of Prime Target?

Prime Target Plot

Young math postgraduate Edward is about to make a huge breakthrough as long as “he succeeds in finding a pattern in prime numbers, he will hold the key to every computer in the world. Soon he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it’s even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah Sanders,” according to the official synopsis. Sanders is the National Security Agency agent, who has “been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians’ behavior. Together they start to unravel the troubling conspiracy Edward is at the heart of.” Juicy!

When is Prime Target coming out?

Prime Target Release Date

The first season of the show has a total of eight episodes and is set to premiere globally on January 22, 2025 with the first two episodes on Apple TV+. After that, one new episode will be released weekly on Wednesdays through March 5, 2025.

​Who's starring in the show?

Apple TV+

Prime Target Cast

Fans will be able to recognize the show’s two leads easily, Leo Woodall from The White Lotus and One Day, and Quintessa Swindell from Black Adam and In Treatment. Woodall will be playing Edward Brooks, while Swindell portrays Taylah Sanders. Since they'll be working together to figure out the truth, their paths will certainly be intertwined throughout the entire story.

Additional cast members include Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jason Flemyng, Harry Lloyd, Ali Suliman, Fra Fee, and Joseph Mydell.

​Who created the series?

The series was created by award-winning writer Steve Thompson, who's worked on titles such as Sherlock, Doctor Who, Jericho, and Vienna Blood. He’s also an executive producer.

Meanwhile, executive producer Brady Hood directed all eight episodes, which will bring some consistency to the episodes. He is known for Top Boy and Great Expectations.

Where can I stream Prime Target?

Apple TV+

All episodes of Prime Target are coming to Apple TV+.
