These nails are simple but festive, and perfect for a night
of celebration!
You need:
Base coat
Top coat
Striper brush
Tape
Gems (or metallic polish and a dotting tool)
Light green, dark green and red polishes (I used: Sally
Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in 02 Green With Envy; Butter
London in British Racing Green; and Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Nail Color in
89 Honeymoon Red)
Start with a base coat, then paint each nail light green,
other than the ring finger; paint that nail dark green.
Use some tape (stick each piece on the back of your hand
before applying to nail to remove some of the adhesive and lessen the chance of
the tape pulling off the base color) to section off part of your pinky, middle
and thumb fingernails. (I covered the
left half of my pinky to make a vertical stripe; the top half of my middle to
make a horizontal stripe; and the top left of my thumb to make a diagonal
stripe.) Paint the uncovered sections
dark green, wait for it to dry a little then remove the tape. Add some small gems or dots of metallic
polish along the edge where the light and dark green polish meet.
Use your striper brush to create a red lip print on your
ring finger. (This can be any size and
placement on the nail.)
Use your striper brush to create a dark green four-leaf
clover on your index finger. Make four
small heart-shaped leaves, with the points together in the center. Fill them in and add a stem.
Add a top coat and you’re done!
