Simple & Easy Memorial Day Nails

Memorial Day is a special holiday in America – a day to remember those who gave their lives while serving their country. And since it’s a federal holiday, many businesses and schools are closed, giving people the opportunity to remember and celebrate the lives of those we’ve lost. 

Whether you plan to spend this day visiting a memorial, enjoying time with family, or hosting a barbecue for friends – there are plenty of Memorial Day nails you can sport on this summer day. 

Below are stunning nail designs featuring the classic “red white blue“, as well as some neutral looks. So, no matter how you plan to spend Memorial Day in 2024, there’s a manicure on this list that’s perfect for you!
