Happy St. Patrick's Day

Ugh! Stupid Safeway ripped off another nail :( I went to take the garmage out and my finger felt weird so I looked down and the nail was almost all ripped off :(

So the wonderful green day :) I love St. Patrick's Day, not because of the drinking but because I look great in green :)

I can't believe I forgot to do Pi-Day nails (march 14 for those who don't know). I was sitting in math class on Friday and realized it was Pi-Day and pulled out my sharpies to draw pi onto my nails, but it wasn't the same :(

So I have 2 designs for St. Patricks Day.

One I did last year but I recreated onto a nail wheel
The other my mom chose.

This is the design my mom chose. It's a light green base with dark green and white stripes making a plaid pattern. Instead of using my paintbrushes I used one of my striping polish brushes cleaned it and used it with my dark green and white polishes. 

On the thumb I convinced her to use little decals (I was really wanting to try them). So I used 3 green petal shapes and formed a clover like shape, then with one of my striping polishes I added a stem. 

Base green: Essie-Shake Your $$ Maker

Plaid: Revlon-Elf Lutin

OPI-Alpine Snow

Top coat: Sehe Wite (because it is magical so I love it)

Thumb: OPI-Alpine Snow

Stem: Quo by Orly Instant Artist-Teal Green

All right and here is my second one. Its a partial plaid with a shamrock in the corner.

To do the partial plaid tape a diagonal section of your nail.

To make the tape easier to deal with and to make sure it doesn't peel your base coat off use your fingers and hands to "dirty" the tape and make it less sticky.  

 once the tape is on paint with a light green the triangular shape the tape left

before the paint dries take the tape off.

Then in the top corner with the most room create a shamrock using a dark green

for the leaves make little hearts by just drawing lines then a stem

using the same dark green draw 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines within the light green

Then to one side of the vertical and on top or below the horizontal lines add white lines.

For some flair add a glitter line along the boarder

And volia :)
