St. Patty's Day Nails!

This look was super easy to accomplish! Here is the supplies you will need for this look:


  • "Nail Magic" base coat.
  • "Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro" in the color "Rags to Riches" #286
  • "Pure Ice" brand in the color "I'll Behave" 
  • Make-Up wedge.
  • "Out the Door" top coat.
  • Loose Gold Glitter. I used "Super Nail' in the color "Shining Dawn" I believe I purchased it at Sally's Beauty Supply. You can also view this loose glitter on my "What Supplies I use" post from a month ago. In case you wanted to know what it looked like.
First, apply a thin coat of base coat to all the nails.
After those are dry, apply the green color and glitter polish in two separate puddles on a paper plate. 
Take the solid green color first and apply it to the free edge of the nails. If you find that the color is too light/thin, paint on the green like normal with the nail polish brush to get the desired dark green color.
After all that is applied, take the make up wedge and dip it in the green polish that you just applied and put it on the free edge as well. Do this in a back and forth rocking motion.This will give the "ombre" or "faded look" to the nail. 
After all of them are dry, repeat the same process with the glitter polish (I'll Behave)
After those are dry, apply the loose gold glitter with a new make up wedge. You can apply some clear polish to the paper plate to apply the loose glitter onto the nails in the same fashion.  
Once all these are dry, apply the top coat and your done!
