Midweek Manicure -- St. Patricks Glitter Theme ♧!


Midweek Manicure -- St. Patricks theme 



Super Simple Nail  look!

This looked is extremely simple. ♧ First apply your base coat!


My base coat of choice is China Glaze's First Mate. I love this blue polish. To me this is the perfect deep blue. I've used this countless times in my monthly nail looks posts--I've omitted the many times I've used in my nail looks posts. I like this polish too much. Back to the tutorial!

Next take your glitter polish and line only the tip, concentrate on building density. 

butter London | Henley Regatta: As seen here, and here. This polish is a great balance of blue, teal, green, and emerald toned glitters.

butter London polishes are glitters tend to be very dense and thus easily build able. These glitters are my go to polishes for building up dense spots of glitter.

Once that line dries, drip and clean off  your nail brush. Have your brush hit half the previous line you drew and half on your clean base color. Try to drag more polish toward your tips.



Now re-dip and clean almost all of the polish off your brush, now add few lines upwards, away from your nail tip and towards the middle of your nail.



Last step is applying your top coat~ 











I actually do not know much about this holiday, just that green has always been associated with this holiday. I tried to live up to this association with this post.

If you want to see a very well done and  themed nail art for St. Patty's day, please head on over to ~ warmfrenchonionsoup ~ ! Her tutorial is easy and beautifully done!  :P I loved her look too much to attempt my own nail art. Nonetheless I hope you enjoyed this weeks midweek manicure.
