St. Paddy's Day Nail Art #3: Celtic Knots & Clovers

Hey lacquer ladies,

This is my final adaptation of the prior mani for my St. Paddy's Day nail art.  I have a lingering love affair with Liquid Sky Lacquer Pure Luxury.  I've known for a long time whenever I think about anything gold thoughts of this polish or Orly Rage are never far behind.  So of course when I was contemplating the lusciousness of the gold holo accents in my LSL I See Rainbows I thought wouldn't this mani look so much better with a holo gold accent and here we are...

Base coat / Top coat: Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter-A-Peel & Sally Hansen Diamond Flash

Base colors: Liquid Sky Lacquer Head To The Rainbow & Pure Luxury

Stamping polish: Mundo de Unas #2 

Stamping plate: Messy Mansion MM04

This mani is rich! Literally everything is sparkling.  I lost the clover accent on my index finger and traded it for Celtic knots and and more Head To The Rainbow.  I used the same polish to create the stylized clover accent over Pure Luxury that you see again using the decal method.  This is one of those times when everything came together perfectly, and the result was so sparkly I could not stop staring!

So this is the last of my St Paddy's day manis - what do you think?  I think I saved the best for last.  I have to admit in an literal sea of linear holos (I mean they are EVERYWHERE) I am still very loyal to Liquid Sky Lacquer.  These holos are amazing and very cherished in my collection as well as her glitter bombs like Head To The Rainbow.  And of course this mani would not have been half as amazing without my Messy Mansion plate.  Honestly, I really love what Julia creates and it makes it very easy for me to bring my nail art to life!

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...

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 polish: Mundo de Unas #2 

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...
