St.Patrick's day is around the corner and some of us are already trying to find the perfect green for our nails. I thought I would help out a little and show you a bit of nail art that would be Perfect for St.Patrick's Day. After all, I live in Northern Ireland, so I should know, right?
Grab your tea, a green polish and some green pompoms.
I purchased a bag of 140 pompoms at Poundland for 1£ so this is a nail art that won't break the bank.
Loads of fun for the whole family, and if you have some left over, you can sew them on your T-shirt and voila you got your costume and nails ready for the big day.
I started out with 1 coat of Barry M - Cardamom. I wanted a green that is close the the clovers I can find outside, and this one seems to be a perfect match.
Once your nails are completely dry apply topcoat like normal and have some tea while they dry completely.
For this nail art it is very important that the nails are dry because the next step is to glue on the pompoms.
Take your pompoms out of the bag and roll them lightly between your palms to get them to fluff up.
Apply some nail glue to the base of your nail just above your cuticle and place the pompoms over and told while the glue dries before moving on to the next one.
Depending on your nail length, you can apply the pompoms to the middle of your nail bed, if you have longer nails the nail polish will still show, and the pompoms will have more to adhere to.

Finish your tea and rock some St.Patrick's Nails. Swap with a yellow or white polish and yellow pompoms for an Easter Nail Art look.
These are so cute. I could rock this look if I was going to a st paddy's day party or something :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it would definitely be for something special.
DeleteThese are so cute! Perfect party nails when you only wear them for a short time. I love it when people experiment with different types of nail art :) Nail art doesn't always need to be serious it can be fun too and these sure are fun! Love them :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! Way out of my comfort zone this one, so great to have so much feedback on it :D
DeleteI'm totally recreating this for Easter with yellow! I only hope I can find the pompoms because I don't think I've ever seen them in stores. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteYou should totally do that. If you can't find them, let me know and I am more than happy to mail them to you. :P
DeleteI'd do this with smaller pompoms, maybe if one of my kids had an athletic event or to complement a costume.
ReplyDeleteGreeat idea!
DeleteThese are so cute like little Irish fluff balls on your nails :D loving it! X
ReplyDeleteTots! Irish Fluff Balls. I should call this design that in the future. *giggles*
DeleteHahaha I love it, very clever!I think I would get distracted and probably rub my face a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed very distracting wearing this.
Delete:D
ReplyDeleteOmg! This is amazingly adorable!!
Thank you!! :D
DeleteI don't understand the pom-pom thing. Not my cup of tea, but that Barry M looks like it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I really should do a proper swatch of it to show it off. :)
