Manicure Monday - St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Dotticure

Hi everyone - late Mani Monday coming at you! I can't open with my typical Happy Monday greeting because it's not this week - it's been a long weekend with Calgary declaring a State of Emergency, cancelling all school and daycare indefinitely and closing most public places. I don't disagree with this response to covid-19, it's just incredibly stressful with a teenager and a toddler. Also, coming in to work this morning was really tough - a jail is a pretty crazy place to work and we don't have cases yet, but if we ever got one, it would spread quicker than a cruise ship, so our response is pretty intense and overwhelming.

It's hard to believe this week is St. Patrick's Day - so much stuff is overwhelming it. I don't typically go out and I hope if people are choosing to go out, they are doing it responsibly! I would personally recommend making your own green beer and picking up take out or ordering in from your favourite spot! 


Anyways, we are still sticking to our green and blue theme for #CBBxManiMonday, so of course I had to do a St. Patrick's Day mani for this week - I went with a Shamrock dotticure (I did a similar style dotticure for Valentine's Day and I loved it!)

The products I used for this week's Manicure are:
-OPI How Does Your Zen Garden Grow? polish 
-OPI Envy the Adventure
-L.A. Colors art deco polish in green
-Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Golden-I
-OPI Infinite Shine Primer and Gloss 
-dotting tool (not pictured)

So for this manicure, I started with base coat at two coats with a light green polish. Then using the dark green polish and dotting tool, to create 4 dots together for a 4 leaf clover. Then using the green nail art polish I created little stems. Then, I added different size dots in green and gold as accents. Then, I finished with a top coat. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day this week! As always, make sure you check out the other #CBBxManiMonday manis - Cosmetic Proof, Prairie Beauty Love, and Tea & Nail Polish to see their blue and green nails too!
