St. Patty's Nails

Happy Friday Everyone!

Here in Savannah, the whole city is gearing up for the biggest holiday of the year, St. Patrick's Day!
Savannah has the 2nd largest St. Patty's Day celebration in the United States  after New York City!

So to celebrate, I have for you my manicure to celebrate this day of merriment!

This really took all my patience when it came to a couple of these designs. I was working on this last night and finally finished this morning!


I used a bunch of different techniques for this manicure, stamping, nail art tape,water marbling,crackle finish and taping.


Thumbs

                                   
On both  I used a background of China Glaze Paper Chasing. 
I stamped the lips with Bundle Monster BM03 using Konad special polish in Red. 

On the other thumb, I taped off the nail to make the Ireland flag. I painted the whole nail green, taped off and added white to 3/4 of nail, once dried I taped again and painted the top with the orange.
 I couldn't find my plain white so I used my Konad polish in white. 

The orange is China Glaze Breakin'

I used a dotting tool to write out the words on both fingers. 













Index

The background is once again CG Paper chasing and I used some gold nail art striping tape. Not totally even but this was my first time using it and my finger curves in so will always look a little off. LOL


Middle

I used the water marbling technique for this nail.
I did a base of a light green, China Glaze Entourage. 
For the marbling I used CG Paper Chasing, Lighthouse and Holly-Day

I then stamped the clover with Wet and Wild Black Creme. I used my M71 plate. I think I got it from the Born Pretty Store when they were offering the free Hello Kitty Plate. Maybe.

Ring

The background is......can you guess it by now.......CG Paper Chasing!
I stamped using Wet and Wild Black Creme and the Bundle Monster BM03 plate

Pinky
Do I really need to say it again....background is CG Paper Chasing.
All I did for this one was using OPI Gold Shatter Crackle Finish.


I hope you guys enjoyed this manicure and I hope you all have a safe and great St. Patty's Day!

Thank you for visiting,
