7 Days of St Patrick's Day Nail Challenge: Day 7: Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today is the 7th Day of the 7 days of St. Patrick's Day Nail art Challenge!! Happy St. Patrick's Day :)

For today's nail art, I decided to go traditional St. Patrick's Day and do a rainbow, pot of gold, shamrock, gold, green, and fun.

I started off with OPI Fly as the base. This is a very easy to work with cream and I really love the tone of teal it is.

I then used lots of techniques, from stamping to glitter placement to decals to drawing with sharpies to create this look. So much to mention!

I used Messy Mansion MM04 for all the themed images. I used glitter placement from Kleancolor Tiara Gold. I used Sharpies to color in the green on the shamrock on the thumb and write the verse on the other thumb. Various Kleancolor polishes were used to create the rainbow.

The black stamping was done with Il Etait un Vernis Paint it Black and colored in with Il Etait un Vernis White Canvas.

Have you tried Sharpies in your nail art yet?

7 Days of St Patrick's Day Nail Challenge: Day 1: The Dancing Leprechaun

For St. Patrick's Day, I decided to join a challenge to produce 7 days of St Patrick's Day nails. I thought this would be fun and festive!

I decided to start with a base of Kleancolor Bikini Green, which is a great neon green color. It took about 3 coats to make it opaque enough but looks great.

I then stamped using Hit the Bottle As Black as Night and Hit the Bottle Be Cider-self stamping polishes from Beautometry.com. I stamped the images from Messy Mansion plate MM04, which has a lot of fun St. Patrick's Day images on it.

What do you think? I love it! I used FUN Lacquer King on the accent nail and rally like that extra holographic sparkle it added to the shamrocks.

Watermarble and Shamrock Stamping with MM04

 

 

I decided to combine stamping, watermarble, and the leadlight technique for this manicure.

 

 

I started with Sally Hansen XTreme Wear Green With Envy on all nails. I then created a watermarble decal with Sally Hansen XTreme Wear Green With Envy, Marine Scene, and Ivy League for my thumbs.

I then stamped using Messy Mansion MM04 stamping plate the 4 leaf clover in a French design across 3 of my nails with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Marine Scene.

Then, I stamped the ornate Shamrock from MM04 with Funky Fingers Black Knight. I colored that in with Bic Mark-It markers and then topped everything off with Seche Vite.

 

Have you tried coloring stamps in with markers?
