St. Patrick's Day: Galaxy Nails

Welcome back!

After doing my Valentine's Day galaxy nails, I was inspired to do more galaxy nails that were themed for different holidays, seasons and events. I've done Valentine Galaxies and Winterized Galaxies. Today, I have some St. Patrick's Day Galaxies for you!


Black: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Night Fright
White: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri OMGhost
Dark Green: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri I-Rush Luck
Green: China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard
Light Green: Maybelline The Color Show Bleached Neons Lime Accent
Fine Gold Glitter: Avon Snowman (from years ago)
Chunky Gold Glitter: Pure Ice Bling on the Holidays

I did these just like any other galaxies. I started by painting the nails black, then added a quick dry top coat. Once it was dry, I sponged on the white, then all three greens, starting with the darkest, and going lighter. Next I put on the fine glitter, and then used the chunky glitter and picked out the largest pieces to make "stars." Finally, I used white polish to create a few shamrock "stars" on the nails.

Thanks for reading <3

St. Patrick's Day: Shamrocks & Chevron

Welcome back!

My nails today are my first St. Patrick's day nails of the year! I did shamrocks, with an accent chevron nail.


White: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri OMGhost
Green: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri I-rush Luck
Gold: OPI 50 Years of Style

The chevrons were done using nail vinyls. I did a white base, put down the vinyls, and then painted green. I free-handed the gold accent. All of the shamrocks were done using different size dotting tools.
