St. Patrick's Day Shamrocks

These cute little four-leaf clovers were fun to paint and a quick way to make this manicure seasonally appropriate. And I hope they bring me luck, too!

I used acrylic paints in white, green and yellow to make this manicure. I like the way a fun pattern looks on an accent nail. Plus it is really quick!

I started with a base of Orly Fresh, then topped it with this gorgeous shade from Nerd Lacquer called Purely Logical. Nerd Lacquer polishes are so pretty!

This polish is inspired by Spock from Star Trek. I adore it! You can find Nerd Lacquer on etsy, but it looks like her shop is closed for a bit. 

I want to apologize for my less frequent posting lately. I am actually working on my own line of nail polish which is fun, but really time consuming. I can't reveal it here quite yet, but I am really excited about it. I anticipate being able to sell my polishes online sometime in early summer. I may be selling them in Sonoma County before that, and I will keep you posted. In the mean time, be sure to support awesome indie polish makers like Nerd Lacquer on etsy!

    1. That is so sweet! Thank you Lyciènne! I may be doing some manis in April at a local cosmetics shop, but we are still working out the details. If you are ever in Sonoma County, let me know. I would happily do your nails. :)
