St. Patrick's Day Lucky Stamp

Hey Y'all! 
Today I have another St. Patrick's design for ya! I got the new Pure Ice Orange glitter polish for St. Patty's Day and I wanted to build a simple mani around it. 

Here's how: 

I started with an orange and green base of Pure Ice "Irish I Was Orange," and Zoya "Josie."

I started with the horseshoe image on this plate from uber chic. I used a gold polish for this (Fingerpaints "Figure Of Art")
Place the polish onto the image.

Then scrape it towards me with my creative shop scraper.

And pick up the image with my clear jelly stamper, in a semi rollin motion. 

Line it up over your nail and look down the center of it to help with placement. Then press it down onto your nail.

Always clean your stamper with a piece of tape. 

Then I used this lips image on this born pretty store plate, with the same green polish that was my base. 
Place the polish onto the image. 

Scrape it towards me.

And pick it up with my stamper in a semi rollin motion.

Line it up over your nail and look down the center for placement. Then press it onto your nail.

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any polish on the skin.

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

Hope y'all enjoyed these lucky horseshoes and leprechaun kisses!

St. Patrick's Day Gradient

Hey Y'all!
It's March and that means time for St. Patrick's Day manicures!
Today I have a green gradient with a fun glitter topper!

Here's how:
I started with a mint green base of Salon Perfect "Mint Julep."

Then on a makeup sponge I added that same green onto half and then a darker green on the other (Zoya "Josie.")

Sponge it onto your nail with the mint green near the cuticle and dark green on the tip. Sponge up and down and side to side to help it all blend nicely. 

Repeat this for a few coats til you get the desired opacity. 

Use a small brush and acetone to clean up any polish on the skin. Or you can use a liquid latex barrier. 

Then I added 2 coats of a fun St. Patrick's Day glitter polish from Salon Perfect called "Shamrock Your Socks Off."

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!
