Today I'll be showing you the final design in my St. Patrick's Day series. For today's design, I had a number of simple ideas running through my head, but I couldn't land on just one. So, I decided to incorporate all of the ideas by creating a St. Patrick's Day skittle mani!
For my pinky nails, I did a simple green striped mani, and for my ring nails I did a green dot design that's reminiscent of my rainbow polka dot design. For my middle nails and thumb nails (not pictured), I simply did 2 coats of Nubar Reclaim, which is a gorgeous green linear holo. And finally, for my index nails, I did a subtle ruffian with a basic shamrock accent. I've totally fallen in love with the ruffian mani and I can foresee many more of them in my future!
Enjoy!

I love the variety...I went with just four leaf clovers down with dotting tools today and I'm bored with it already.
ReplyDeleteI love the white with green polka dots. Very festive, love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great combo. It's so cute and festive without being gaudy.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you have so many green polishes.. :) I love your index finger, it looks really nice :)
ReplyDeleteThis has to be my favorite St. Pat's Day mani I have seen.....love this!
ReplyDeleteReally cute =]
ReplyDeleteThis mani looks great. Love the polka dot design on the ring finger.
ReplyDeleteSo unique! I love it.
ReplyDeleteLove these. I think each nail goes together so the skittle design works out really well!
ReplyDeleteThis is cute, each is so unique and I can't pick my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou need one more leaf to your clover for luck :D
Ohh that ruffle nail might just be my favorite :D The holo is a bit out of place but overall, this is a super fun manicure!
ReplyDeleteLove this!!! I especially love the holo accent nail =)
ReplyDeleteso supe cute! i just love them all especially the ruffian, I wanted to do something similiar, thanks for the great inspiration, may have to copy.
ReplyDeleteAdore the white nail with dots xx
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!!!!Happy St Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteLove it! It's fun just what St. Patty's day should be! Great use of colors and you included some of my favs I never would have (until now) thought would go together! The ruffian is interesting - love the shade Reclaim - always a fav of mine, and probably the most surprising for me in this skittle just because it's a holo and don't usually see holos in skittles - but it works! I love the Essie Mint, and since Gaga for Green came out, I am nuts for it like I was when CG Starboard came out! Just wow and great. Have a fun day. This should be put in your repeat file. It's a goodie!
ReplyDeleteIf there were a contest for the best St. Patty's day mani - this would get my vote!
DeleteSo cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this, it came out perfect of course because you ROCK at freehand <3
