St Paddy's Day Nail Art #2: Glistening Clovers & Rainbows

Hey lacqueristas,

You are going to see several posts from me today with my St. Paddy's Day nail art.  Honestly, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to create more than one and then I decided ok I at least have to use some of my Liquid Sky Lacquer St. Patty's Day Collection.  So at least one more mani.  This of course led to me thinking, wow I really like how portions of this mani turned out I wonder if I did this...so now here we are 3 mani's later...

Mani-louge 
Base coat / Top coat: Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter-A-Peel & Sally Hansen Diamond Flash
Base colors: Essie Marshmellow (index) & Liquid Sky Lacquer Head To TheRainbow
Watermarble: Multiple colors
Accents: Love Angeline Stuck on Love Clover Vinyls

Stamping plate: Messy Mansion MM04

It's been so long since I've done a watermarble.  I realize my skills atrophied and I'm not terribly thrilled about how the colors ended up blending together, but the design is exactly how I visualized it with the marble streaming down into one corner.  What I'm thrilled about with this mani aside from the LSL polish is how well the clovers turned out.  Once again I'm relying heavily on advanced stamping and used the decal method to create them with my Messy Mansion plate.  They turned out beautifully!

I used Love Angeline Stuck On Love nail vinyls (huge mouthful) to layer in between Essie Marshmellow.  I bought the clovers specifically for this purpose and I was pretty happy over how this accent turned out.  So what do you think? Lots going on her today.  Honestly I am not entirely pleased with how this turned out.  Of the 3 nail art designs I created for the holiday this is probably my least favorite.  Which is why I decided to change up the mani a bit more.  In any case thanks for reading and I'll see you next post...

    1. Thank you! Lol I will always be a harder critic on myself when I'm not 100% satisfied with something :/ I forget just because it's not perfect doesn't mean it's not good. Thanks for reminding me :)
