St. Patrick's Day Nails!

Don't get psyched out by the four-leaf clover on the one nail because it's really not as hard as you would think.

You don't need the specific brand, anything similar will work just fine. I used;

• NYC French White Tip 
• Claire's Neon Green [two way nail art pen and brush]
• L.A. Colors Art Deco in black
• NYC Matte Me Crazy Top Coat

STEP ONE

Paint your nails completely white, at least two coats to ensure no bits of your natural nail will be peaking through.

STEP TWO

Using your green nail polish [mine had the brush and pen- I used the pen] paint a stripe in the middle of your nails except for one on each hand. You don't want the stripe to be too thin or too thick, 1/3 is the best size.

STEP THREE

This is the hardest step of them all, but it's not too bad. Having a steady hand or something to lightly rest your hand on helps. A good four-leaf clover doesn't need to be full of detail, keep that in mind! The easiest way to do this is with a nail polish pen because they're a bit easier to control than a brush. All you need to do is to make two dots for each of the three leaves, then spread the nail polish to connect the dots and make your shape. Try to only add more nail polish after the dots if you absolutely have to, otherwise the nail polish could run and create a blob.

STEP FOUR

With the black art polish you want to make two lines on the outsides of the green stripes to define them and draw more attention to the green. [If you're really talented, or want to try, you can give outlining the four-leaf clover a go. I didn't because I knew I would mess it up].

Finish with a top coat and voila ! You're ready to go out and "casually" use your hands more often to show off your nails.
