Julep Nail of the Day! St. Patrick’s Day Mani

No way you’ll get pinched with this St. Patrick’s Day-themed mani!

Colors: For this festive design, you’ll need to raid your nail polish drawer for springy greens and a gold that would make a leprechaun jealous! We used Stefani for the base of the accent nail, Leah for the base of the rest of the nails, Emilie for the tips (and the shamrock), and Oscar to add sparkle!

For the pot-of-gold accent nail, start with a base of two coats of Stefani. After it is completely dry, use a small brush to fashion a black pot on the bottom left corner of your nail. Then it’s time to gather your ROYGBIV polishes together and paint the rainbow!

We used Molly, Alicia, Blake, Leah, Amy and Anne and a striper tool to create a rainbow sure to lead you to strike gold! While the stripes are still wet, carefully place 5 or 6 golden glitters just above the pot.

For the rest of your fingers, carefully sweep a line of Emilie to create an exaggerated French-tip. Once dry, use Oscar to add pizzazz to the line where the two greens meet. Using a small brush, paint a shamrock on another nail. May the luck of the Irish be with you this Saturday!

How will your nails be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year?
