American Flag Nail Art How-To:

1. Apply your base coat and follow with one or two coats of red nail polish. Wait for the polish to dry.
• I'm using Lancome Vernis In Love in Rouge in Love 
2. Apply striping tape to the nail of your choice. Cover your entire tip horizontally (you can use any tape for this), then use thinner strips of tape to create vertical lines. You may need to double up the striping tape to create thicker lines.
• I'm using Born Pretty Store striping tape
3. Working with one nail at a time, paint one coat of white polish over the tape and peel all the striping tape off immediately.
• I'm using Sinful Colors Nail Enamel in Snow Me White
4. Paint the tip of the nail using navy blue polish, and follow with a top coat to even out the design.
• I'm using Lancome Vernis In Love in Bleu de Flore 
• I'm using Lancome Vernis In Love in Crystal Quartz
5. Add one or more rhinestone stars to the center of the blue nail tip.
• I'm using Born Pretty Store rhinestones
