Shamrocks are all about the hearts. Hope you got a lot of practice last month!

What you will need:

1 Orangewood stick/ toothpick

1 color (we used Leah & Brigitte)

**additional accent colors optional.

STEP 1: Start with a dot of your favorite green.

STEP 2: Create another dot right next to the first one, make sure they do not touch.

STEP 3: While the polish is still wet, from the center of each dot pull down diagonally until the dots come together at a point.

STEP 4: Repeat steps 1-3, 3 to 4 times in a circle until a shamrock shape is achieved.

STEP 5: Add some gold (Oscar) and contrasting highlights(Emilie and Sophia) to finish your shamrock.

TIPS and TRICKS: The 4 petal shamrocks looks best if the ends of the hearts ends are not touching. You can add a stem to the from the center of the shamrock to the outside to achieve a more together look.
