St. Patrick's Day - An Unusual Holiday Post

Posted by Unknown on Saturday, March 17, 2012

I'm usually not too big on holiday nails. And usually when I do them,  I get so excited about the holiday that I do them 3 weeks in advance and they never actually are on my hands anywhere near the holiday. But *today* I have these semi-St. Patrick's Day nails on so I thought I'd share them with you! I mostly did these because I don't own anything green and I'm not in the mood to get pinched! Today I plan to celebrate St. Patrick's day by sitting around and watching movies. I'm not going to the parade, for fear of rowdy crowds. I'm not drinking green beer, because that's just gross. I'm not dressing up and going all out. These nails are essentially the only way I'm celebrating, which is exactly how I like to spend the holiday's -- painting my nails!

Guest Hands and St. Patty's Day

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, March 7, 2012

I don't typically do holiday nail art too much. In fact, I usually don't even realize it's a holiday until I check my blogroll (ie. I had no idea it was Mardi Gras until I saw like 8 million Mardi Gras nail arts). But on one of my last days of school, a fellow student asked if I wouldn't mind doing some St. Patrick's Day nail art on her. About a week earlier I had given her a pedicure and painted her toe-nails green, so it only seemed right to have matching fingernails! For these nails I used polish (Borghese's Lira and some lime green Sally Hansen that I forget the name of and am too lazy to look up) and acrylic paint. But because it's not quite St. Patty's Day, I decided to use a Shellac UV top coat to seal it all in. I did this before on a different students' Superbowl nails. I hope they stay until the big day because I think they turned out really cute!
