With the most patriotic day of the year just days away, you don't
necessarily have to alternate between red, white, and blue nail polish
like you did when you were a kid to feel festive. (Or was that just me?)
Your nails can still feel the Fourth of July fantasy with the help of
denim nail art. For Allure's July issue, New York-based editorial nail artist Miss Pop reimagined the American classic on the nails of Michelle Lee, a.k.a. our editor in chief.

Miss Pop started off by painting Michelle's nails with a dark blue nail polish. Then, she stippled a light blue shade over it to mimic the faded texture of blue jeans. To really make the nail art look like your favorite pair of jeans, Miss Pop drew on rips and frays with white nail polish. I still can't get over the final product. (And Michelle's Instagram followers, of course, loved the denim nail art, too.) The blue jean design basically screams "AMERICA", right?
Miss Pop isn't the only one on Instagram creating denim nail art,
though. We rounded up our favorite stitched, faded, and tattered looks.
You're going to want to show these to your local manicurist for them to
recreate on your nails ASAP.

One of the most popular denim nail art looks on Instagram was created by New York-based nail artist and Sally Hansen's global color ambassador Madeline Poole back in 2015. Like the right pair of jeans, the look is timeless.
We're also loving these other ripped takes on the trend.

You can also add some floral print to the mix.

These denim nail art looks have some serious stitching.

Or you could go the acid-wash route if you're feeling a little more '90s than usual.

Like actual jeans, denim nail art comes in several styles. Which one will you choose?
