Pot of Gold Shamrocks?
Happy St. Patrick's Day!! I hope you are celebrating today and enjoying the fun spirit of this great holiday in whatever way suits you best!! Today's Nail Art was one I had been considering but waited to even think about trying to execute...then I saw a similar idea on Pinterest. The idea was almost identical to what I had been planning to do, including using gold microbeads as my "pot of gold". I had planned on using more microbeads for the rest of the design and well you can see here how that worked out. I really liked this one and Wednesday night after I finished doing all this pictures for this week, I decided that this one HAD to be today's Nail Art!!

Leprechauns!
Happy Friday everyone!! I have a crazy day ahead of me today and I am so very excited to show you this one today. This might look vaguely familiar and I had to do this one a few times before I was satisfied with it.
This one really required much tweaking. If this didn't look familiar to you - it's actually an irish twist on my Santa Nail Art.
I'm super pleased with myself for sticking it out and getting this one to come out the way I wanted it to. It's cute and fun! Happy Friday to all and remember - be safe is you start your St Patrick's Day celebrations a day early!!

A More Subtle Approach
Good Afternoon! Today's post is a little later than normal because we spent all day yesterday welcoming my mother and father-in-law home after a two month cruise. After a wonderful but exhausting day, I was just too tired last night to remove my Gelish. I have been able to get to it and now I've found the time to post pictures of my efforts.
I decided to keep my gelish simple and just use a simple white. It's great as a background color and also great for putting polishes over. Since St. Patrick's Day is this Saturday, I thought I'd begin showing some St. Patrick's Day themed Nail Art.
Today's Nail Art I thought I would skip the obvious shamrock and go for something more subtle. I happened to have this design on my stamping plate and it always brings to mind "Celtic Knotwork". I thought it would be perfect for this one.

The green and orange are from the Irish Flag and I felt mixed with the knotwork, it would be a more subtle "Ode to Ireland". I'll leave it to you to decide how that worked, I personally like it.
And one more just because I can and have them today.
Here's a few more in the shade.
So that's about it for today. I'll be doing some more art later today to post during the rest of the week. I wonder if I can find a way to put "Guinness" on my nails? Because what's St. Patrick's Day without Guinness??
