Ayyy mi lads and lassies! It's that time of yer again....
Green beer, corned beef and cabbage, awful Irish accents, and lots of green! Whatever you do to celebrate be safe and have fun!
In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, I've added a special Clover Manicure just for you. Yes you! If you've seen or attempted my hearts manicures in the past, you will find this super easy as its just a few hearts connected.
Start by painting your nails as normal. I painted my nails green and left my ring finger a glittery gold color. This is the finger I will add my clover accent.
Once you've got your nails painted, on a piece of foil, put a small dollop of green polish.

You will want to use a medium sized dotting tool. If it's too big, the dots will run together. If the dotting tool is too small, you will not get the right size you need for the leafs.

Start to blend all the circles together using the smaller end of your dotting tool. You don't necessarily need to add any polish, just blend the dots to look like a clover.

Lastly, add a stem at the bottom of the clover. I did this with the small end of the dotting tool.

Here is the finished product. It's pretty easy try it a few times on the foil if you want to practice before you try it on your nails. Add more accents or add some dots around the clover for something a little different. If you have black polish and a thin nail brush, feel free to outline the clover with black polish!
Now go out there and drink lots of beer, eat lots of food, and show off your new manicure!
