Celebrate St. Patrick's Day In Style!

Green beer, green hair and green everything! With holidays in which there are "holiday colors" or dress up (Halloween, Christmas, Purim, St. Patrick's Day), decorating one's nails are fun and creative. Also, I don't have to worry about wiping off on anyone and if just my nails are done, my costume is much more discreet. 

As you can see, I used fake nails (plastic) so that I could do some nail art that is rather difficult to perform on myself. We'll cover fake nails another time. There are pros and cons for a guy to fake nails. Just think.. That new junior associate might be the lead singer of a local rock band. They're kinda like wigs. Or a toupee depending on quality.

The reason why I showed you my design in steps (sorry for the mix up), is to illustrate that I didn't do anything too difficult.. I let my theme grow in stages. I took all the green nail polishes I had and the yellow gold. I could have used my darker, copper gold; however in the second picture down, it has a bronze, reddish look. My nail polishes included N.Y.C., Nuances, Revlon, Sally Hansen, Julep and Poparazzi. 

Irish green, gold at the end of the rainbow and the luck of the Irish were my themes. Get creative and have fun! There's no wrong way in art.
