Pinterest copy on the baby chick nail.Yellow base with dot tool eyes, beak, and feet. Used nail stamp plates to make egg-esque designs on other nails. Finished off with a matte topcoat to give the egg/soft chick feel. Be very patient with the Matte Top Coat. It makes everything very gummy and takes a lot longer to dry.

Green French Tip Sparkle Nails





The irridecent glitter flakes ate nice in this and the gel is thick enough to be able to fish enough out of the bottle but the nail maintains a lump clumpy feel and I would rather it didn't have the light green tint.

Mint with Gold Specks Nails


Mint - Maybelline ColorShow Green with Envy
Gold Glitter - Milani 531 Gold
Stripes - Gold Nail Tape



 This was my first nod to St Patrick's Day but yet still trying to keep it classy.

Layer of Mint with gold glitter over each except ring finger with the gold tape stripes with clear coat to keep it all together.

It was all very fast and easy but looked super slick. Loved it. Only issue is the tape starts to fray at the edges if there are any missed spots with the top coat.
