Fourth of July 2014 Outfit + Makeup + Nail Ideas

Time to bust out the red, white, blue, and barbeque to celebrate our great nation!  That’s right–it’s 4th of July again and I can’t help but decorate myself from head to toe.  Here are a few outfit ideas (things I plan to wear on July third and fourth), patriotic nails, and a simple beauty look to top it off.

To come up with this look, I did what I do when I dress for any holiday and surveyed everything I own that coordinated with the occasion.  In this case–red, white, blue, stripes, and sparkles.

What’s more American than cut-offs and Chuck Taylor’s?  Probably a lot but work with me here ‘Merica…

On my face, I did my makeup like normal except with shimmery blue liner on my lower lash line (it’s Nicka K New York shimmer eyeliner that I got in my June Ipsy Glam Bag) and I layered a red Tarte lip gloss over Vivid Rose Maybelline lipstick.

Headband is Stella & Dot’s ‘Zoe Lariat‘ // necklace via Jane // hair (see review here)

I cannot for the life of me remember where those earrings are from but they’re just simple silver hoops.

Fourth of July Nails

My camera in no way did this nail look justice…glitter is not a good photography subject AT ALL.

• the RED polish is Atom + Eve – a ruby red glitter nail polish
• BLUE is Butler Please (one of my fave shades of all time because it is such a bright, brilliant blue) with Fairy Dust (holographic micro glitter) on top
• WHITE is White Matter topped with Fairy Dust as well
• I used the Formula X system on all of my nails.  I did a review on it here and it makes my polish (even non-Formula X polishes) last for at least a week with only tiny chips/cracks.

So there ya go!  Fourth of July Valerie Style.  I’d love to know what you’ll be wearing and what you thought of these looks.  Have a very happy and safe July Fourth holiday weekend!

Here is what my family wore July 4th, 2012.
