Abstract St. Patrick’s Day Nails

  1. Paint all of your fingers with a neutral/pale base coat. Let dry thoroughly.
  2. Using the side of your green nail polish brush, make a diagonal swipe across each nail. It doesn’t need to be perfect. You can always clean up any mistakes.
  3. Let dry and use a Q-tip or polish clean-up brush to remove any excess polish from the cuticle.
  4. Take your gold/copper polish and make a diagonal swipe along the opposite side of all of your nails.
  5. Clean up any excess polish that remains.
  6. Apply your top coat and admire your mani!

Products I used:

For this design, I used a more affordable green and gold polish from Poparazzi nail polish because I typically don’t wear a lot of green polish. Olive and June’s BEB shade is my favorite for transparent nail designs.
