Hey girl! Can you believe Juneteenth is around the corner? I always get so excited around this time because it’s not just about celebrating freedom and history—it’s also the perfect excuse to show off some next-level nail art.
Whether you’re going to a cookout, parade, or just chilling with your mom and aunties, your nails should speak volumes. I’m talking bold colors, cultural vibes, and styles that’ll have everybody asking, “Where did you get your nails done?”
So here are some Juneteenth nail looks you need to try—plus, I’m including outfit pairings so you can match the vibe from head to toe.
Freedom Drip (Long Colored Nails)
These long almond nails are giving Juneteenth glam. Each nail has a unique design in black, red, and green—some even have cute little junk accessories that make the whole set pop. It’s artsy, bold, and a little rebellious (in the best way). I’d pair this with a black off-the-shoulder top, ripped jeans, and gold hoops. Just be ready to show your hands off in every selfie.
Square & Proud (Short Square Nails)
If you’re more of a low-maintenance babe (hi, me too sometimes), these short matte square nails are so cute and clean. Think black and white checkered designs, red and black combos, even yellow and black twists. They last forever and still bring that Juneteenth spirit. I wore these with a graphic tee and denim shorts last year—10/10 would do again.
Color Splash Cutie (Simple Color Splash)
This is one of those “wait, let me see your nails again” sets. With a nude base and splash designs in red, green, yellow, and black, it’s subtle but super adorable. It’s a great choice if you’re going to brunch or keeping things chill. I’d go for a neutral outfit—like a tan maxi dress—and let the nails do all the talking.
Reggae Vibes (Reggae Coffin Nails)
These medium-sized coffin nails have reggae-inspired lines in red, yellow, and green. It gives laid-back, earthy queen energy. If you’re heading out to a festival or just vibing outside, these are perfect. I’d wear a crop top, flowy skirt, and sandals—or even go barefoot in the grass. Yes, it’s that vibe.
Tribal Queen (Almond Africa)
These nails scream Africa to the core. With tribal black and white designs and pops of yellow and red, it’s like wearing your roots on your fingertips. They look historical, cultural, and powerful. Pair them with a kente print headwrap, bold earrings, and anything linen. Trust me, everyone will stop and ask.
Power in Green (Green African Nails)
These are olive green perfection! With black accents and little splashes of red and yellow, these nails feel earthy but still hella festive. They remind me of African flags and freedom. I rocked these with a green jumpsuit and gold bangles—if you’ve got a Juneteenth BBQ to go to, these are your go-to.
Juneteenth Justice (Coffin Patriotic Nails)
Okay, these are for the girls who like it extra. Long coffin nails with a nude base and white tips, but wait—it gets better. They have tiny American flags, BLM signs, and Juneteenth messages written on them. They are so bold and unapologetic. I’d wear them with a fitted black dress and combat boots to really set the tone.
Ruby Resistance
Red is the star here. This design has red as the main color, with touches of black, yellow, and stunning gems that shimmer in the sunlight. It’s giving bold, brave, and beautiful. These nails are perfect with a red bodycon dress or a bold pantsuit if you’re going full glam.
Melanin Swirl
These are so cute and easy to wear! A pastel nude base with swirls in Juneteenth colors—just enough color without going overboard. They’re perfect for work, church, or a family dinner. I wore mine with a beige blouse and black pants and got compliments all day.
Royal Roots
Girl. These are stunning. Turquoise, gold, and black with elegant tribal designs and little gems in red, yellow, and green. It’s giving regal African queen vibes. You have to wear these with a long flowy dress or a bold printed kaftan. Add gold accessories and you’re set.
Triangle V Nails
These long coffin nails are sharp, geometric, and full of attitude. The huge triangle V designs in black, green, yellow, and red make a serious statement. Great if you’re feeling like making an entrance. I’d wear these with a fitted black jumpsuit and some sky-high heels.
Accent Yellow Nails
All yellow everything—with one accent nail on each hand in green, black, red, and yellow. It’s super fun, bold, and gives unity vibes without being too busy. These look so cute with a yellow sundress or even a denim outfit to keep things casual but festive.
