Hi everyone! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Nobody seems to celebrate here, which is a shame. Oh well. I had enough drinks to make up for the less festive folks around me ;)
I painted a field of shamrocks swaying in a gentle breeze, basking in the sunlight after a rainstorm, and for the accent--the resulting rainbow + treasure at the end of it...
The sky-blue background is Revlon Colorstay #170 Coastal Surf. The rainbow is some assorted polishes I can't be bothered naming off, but I've used them all before--they're Revlon, CoverGirl, and Sally Hansen basic cremes :) The pot and the shamrocks were done with acrylic paint an a small brush. Lastly, the gold in the pot! It's mostly the glitter polish you see in the photo--Milani Jewel FX Gold--but I added a few slightly larger gold pieces from Born Pretty Store:
If you look carefully, you can see a few pieces that fell out around the pot and are hiding in the grass :)
I sealed in all the glitters and paints with two coats of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.
Thus concludes my St. Patrick's manis for this year! I'm debating on what to do next... it's technically autumn here now, but it still feels like summer, and I have a really cute idea for a spring design. I think I'm having a... season crisis? Tune in next time to check out which one I pick--or better yet, vote in the comments; if I get a few responses I'll pick based on what you want to see! xoxo

| An actual pot of gold. I couldn't not use it! |

| In shade. I love how the gold stands out! You can see the bits in the grass better here, too. |

| And one more, to show how shiny the glitters are! *insert anime-esque shine sound effect* sshhhhiiinnng! |
