St. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!! I love this holiday.  I have no idea why, I just do. So, I did my nails:

Base: Liquid Vinyl by Orly
Green: Sa-Green-a the Teenage Witch by Wet n Wild
Gold: Luxe by Orly

Uh... This totally reminds me of cool runnings.  Great design, don't get me wrong, I liked it alot. One thing that was cool is that I tried something new.  Normally I use scotch tape for lines. But I also get really impatient.  You know what works great for straight lines and lightly sticks to slightly wet nails? Saran Wrap. Yup, just cut it in small strips, press into place, and it works just like tape to mask off areas of color. It was pretty genius, but not really what I wanted, so let's try this again...

Base: Nail Envy by OPI
Tips: Sa-Green-a The Teenage Witch by Wet n Wild
Accents: Luxe by Orly

Oh! Look how Irish-y those are! (I apologize if that offended any Irish folk out there, I am also Irish, does that help?)For these ones I used the special french nail stickers to mask.  I did a layer of green first and then the gold.  The coins and shamrocks were done with dotting tools.  Sorry about the lame pics, I still haven't found a good way to take the photos.  But this is a work in progress. Ok, now I feel better having posted.
