Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Here's my take on some St. Paddy's day nails that you can try out! You'll definitely get noticed with these nails done up!

Here's what you'll need:

(left to right) Essie - Shake your $$ Maker
Orly Instant Artist - Platinum Glitter
OPI - Don't Mess with OPI
Stripe Rite - Black
China Glaze - Kiwi Cool-ada
Stripe Rite - White
A small brush, and the small size on the #1 dotter (Daniel Stone)

To start I painted on a base coat of China Glaze - Kiwi Cool-ada. I had to use about 3 coats to get it to not be see through.

I then started with my thumb, because that one would be the hardest. I wrote "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" on it using my Stripe Rite - White. It was a little harder than most nail art because it's writing free hand. This definitely takes practice!

*TIP* When writing letters stick to capital letters. They're easier to do and most of them are just connected straight lines (except for "S"-_-)! With a steady hand most capital letters are very easy to write!

From there I went to the next hardest which was the four leaf clover on my pinky. To make the clover, start off with a small, fat heart. Then on either side of that heart, connect two other small, fat hearts. By the time you've done those you just have to add the two small bumps at the bottom!

*TIP* GO SLOW! Don't rush it. Yes it may take you an hour to do your nails, but it's so worth it in the end!

On my ring finger I used my small size on the #1 dotter to make small four leaf clovers. To make them dot the polish on the nail and swipe it out a little. Do this for each one to create a leaf effect! Then to add some sparkle I put a little of the Orly Instant Artist - Platinum Glitter in each one.

I then added some Deborah Lippmann - One Short day on my pointer finger for some sparkle!

I hope the luck of the Irish treats you all well this weekend and Monday!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
