Panda Raige: 4th of July Nail+ Makeup+ Outfit!

Swimming, bonfires, barbecues and fireworks! Lots and lots of fireworks! It must be time for the Fourth of July! The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays because I love watching fireworks and spending time with friends and family. An explosion of beautiful colors in the sky is just so mesmerizing to me. Plus I love to celebrate living in a country where I have the freedom to be anyone and do anything I want with my life. I wanted to go all out this Fourth of July, so I decided to show my patriotism by being festive. I came up with a fireworks inspired nail design, festive makeup look and red, white and blue outfit. This fourth of July I'm going to be attending a barbecue, watching a fireworks show with my friend, Ciera and setting off fireworks with Ciera, my family and my boyfriend. It's going to be a blast!

My outfit incorporates pieces that I found in my own closet. I wanted to be festive while still being affordable, so I chose red, white and blue pieces. This is a great way to show your spirit without spending money on a new american flag shirt. Anyone can recreate this look with clothes from there own closets!
