I wasn’t really planning to do any Saint Patrick’s Day nails on myself, but after I did my sister-in-law’s nails I felt inspired. She went to a SPD party so she wanted something fun. This is how her nails turned out:
Cute, right?
I obviously also went the green route. I started off with China Glaze Gaga For Green as my base color.
Then I used Color Club Holiday Splendor for the chevron design on my tips.
I should have left it at that, but then I decided to add a shamrock sticker and rhinestones.
Then I thought to myself that the rhinestones looked pretty tacky so I pried them off. Unfortunately, this left a ding on my nails.
And because it bothered me that I could still see where the rhinestones used to be, I then tried to cover it up with glitter.
So by this point, I thought that my nails looked pretty gross and just took everything off and started all over.
This was my final look. I used OPI Mermaid Tears as the base color and Color Club Holiday Splendor for the chevron tips. I used only one design on my accent nail and I was pleased with the way they turned out.
I had a nice SPD after all! I went to dinner with two friends whom I have known since we were kids. After we stuffed ourselves as Lucille’s BBQ, we went to a karaoke lounge and sang all the embarrassing songs that we could think of. Ahhh…it was a lot of fun.
How did you spend SPD? Did you sport any fun and festive nail designs?
I know exactly how you feel when you just keep on going! Love the green glitter
Thanks! I never know when to stop so this seems to happen often. Maybe one of these days I'll learn my lesson!
The green glitter is definitely the star of my glitter collection, I think.

These are so CUTE!!! I love the green on green.
These are kinda a cheerful version of my dark SPD nails 
I actually really liked the ones that you added the glittery line to. I like your final ones but actually those with the glitter along the chevron lines are my favorite. The greens just compliment each other so well! I love these!!
Thank you! They just felt like way too much with the glitter line. And yes, I was inspired by your darker version. I hadn't done chevron tips in AGES and had forgotten how easy and cute they look.
I know! They're the easiest nail art things ever!! Yours were so cute. I actually might do them just for fun. Green isn't just for SPD!
