St. Patrick’s Day Nail Art By MadamLuck

Leave a reply

Hello everyone.  I am super excited to share today’s post with you.  Last week I saw some nail art by Suzann of Amateur Manicure on NailIt.com and I knew I had the perfect idea for some St. Patrick’s Day nail art.  I reached out to nail art expert Amanda from MadamLuck to bring my idea to life, and I have to say she did a stunning job!!!   Scroll down to see the steps to create this stunning manicure.

Amanda started with one coat of our new black cream, Eclipse.   Then using Bunny nail image plate HD-B for the clovers, she stamped those over the black use a white polish.  Now, here is the trick, with the white stamped over the black, you can layer a jelly polish, like Get Clover It, to create a stunning layered look.  Follow with a coat of Clearly On Top for a smooth, shiny finish.

Isn’t that lovely!  This technique can be used it so many ways.  I could see space stamping done with I Got A Crush On Blue over for a unique galaxy manicure, or Witch Way done up for Halloween.  What ever color, the white will make the jelly polish pop!

Do you love St. Patrick’s Day?  Here is a bonus manicure from MadamLuck using Daisy About You, Honeydew List, and Clearly On Top.  Striping was done with acrylic paint, and clover jewels complete this festive look.

St. Patricks Day Art – Guest Post By Nidia of Lit From Within

Leave a reply

Hi, I’m Nidia, and I run a little blog called Lit From Within.  I have loved KBShimmer polishes for a while, now, and jumped at the chance to show y’all a little nail art featuring one of these lovelies.

I’m not Irish, but I married an Irishman, and besides, who doesn’t like a little green on St. Paddy’s Day?  I was inspired by Robin Moses Shamrock nail art to show off a little o’ the green today.

I started with Deborah Lippmann Pearly Queen, a pale nude with green shimmer.  I just wanted the green pearlescent effect in the background.

Here’s the star! KBShimmer Get Clover It, a green jelly polish with light and dark green, blue, and gold glitters.

It can be tricky to get glitter exactly where you want it sometimes, so after laying down two coats of the polish, I painted a cosmetic sponge with another couple of coats of Get Clover It.  The sponge soaks up some of the base, and then you can dab the sponge on the nail, and it just deposits the glitter where it touches.

Genius, really.  Not my original idea, of course, but one I borrowed from Nail Wish.

Sinful Colors Pistache makes a nice light green contrasting line above Get Clover It.

A teeny nail art brush and some SOPI Give Peas A Chance, and there are the shamrocks, ready for St. Paddy’s!

Topcoat smooths out the nail art and makes sure that all the glitters are nice and shiny.

If you liked this nail art, and would like to see more from me, I invite you to check out my blog, Lit From Within, or any of my social media: Facebook, Google+, Bloglovin‘, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, or Pinterest.

Thanks again, Christy!
