St. Patricks NAILS

So For the actual day of st. pattys I wanted to do a Glittery green amazing ness, and I wanted to see just how long it would last working 14 hours straight of pushing through drunk people, making loads of drinks, cleaning up nasty plates, tables and washing ones hands over and over again. Yes I waited tables on st. Pattys day, unlike the rest of the world, that got drunk and acted a straight fool.

My nails looked fabulous, but didn't withstand the beating, not that I actually thought they would, I mean, we were really busy and this kind of work doesn't support the dainty girl in me who always wants glossy, unchiped nails. St. Pattys ALSO weakened my nail so bad that I now have a huge tear on my left thumb, which I will show you in my next post how I repaired, but either way, it stunk.

For this mani I used butter London's Thames with Henley Regatta on top(also by butter London) and a green glitter by ColorClub (exact polish name to come). It was really rad and I'll definetely do this green again, probably on my birthday or something. I love green, it always looks good on me with my red hair, and now with my blondish red hair. enjoy

St Patricks themed Crackle nails

So tomorrow is st. Patricks Day, Which means I have to work at my moms bar, hang out with lots of friends and family and drink like a fish work my but off and hopefully make some Money!

So in honor of tomorrow, today I decided to do a green with green glitter under white crackle, just to see how it would look. It looks great, except that I always think when I use any of my crackle nail polishes my nails look dirty. I guess I like solid colors and shiney nails more than anything. I put American Apparel's Hunter as a base color, (over my base coat of course!) then I put Butter London's Henley Regatta on top, which is a green glittery amazing polish. And over that I put China Glaze's white crackle nail polish, and Tada!

I must say that although this crackle looks messy, I get complimented on it every day, girls always want to know how I did it, and where to buy the polish, so if your thinking about it but cant find it anywhere, look at sally beauty stores and Amazon. I bought my six pack of China Glaze crackle there.

Leprachaun & Watermelon nails

Today at work I loathed the mani I had on. I'm not going to say what brand it is, but its a reputable brand and last night in my exhaustion I failed my nails and didn't give a proper manicure, leaving my nails all smudged and polish everywhere. So I cleaned them up and realized I had some of those Love and Beauty stickers in my bag in GREEN. I will definitely rock this on st. Patricks day, but I had an hour to kill at work, so I went ahead and put them on. I know that they are three dollars, but they peel so easily and move around on the nail. Later on tonight I literally peeled them off and gave myself a watermelon manicure.

Watermelon mani- I saw this on some website somewhere but cannot find it for the life of me- but you can find different watermelon demos all over the internet so don't worry. Here are my simple instructions.

1. clean your nails, then put two coats of base coat. Then take a pink color ( I used OPI's too hot pink to hold em, because well its perfect). Paint this pink color on half, or on the tips of your nails if your blessed with long ones. Let dry completely

2. Take a nail art pen in white and draw a line underneath the pink you applied. Let dry

3. Take a nail art pen in green and draw a line underneath the white line you applied. Let dry

4. Take a nail art pen in black and draw a bunch of dots on the pink part to make them look like seeds. let dry

5. Take an acrylic or strong top coat and paint 2-3 coats, letting each coat dry completely. and your done~ Enjoy
