How to Create St Patrick's Day Nails
- 1
Prep
Shape the nails and gently buff the surface. Push back cuticles and clean with alcohol.
- 2
Base
Apply a thin base coat and cure or let it dry fully before adding colour.
- 3
Colour
Build green in two thin coats rather than one thick one.
- 4
Seal
Finish with a top coat, capping the free edge to stop early chipping.
- 5
Finish
Add cuticle oil and moisturiser. Reapply oil daily to keep the finish from dulling.
Extensions, hard gel, and advanced curing techniques are best handled by a trained nail artist. The steps above focus on methods that can hold up safely at home.
