7 St. Patrick’s Day Nail Designs

For those of us who find it therapeutic to get a good manicure, this post is for you. I personally love anything holiday-related, and that includes nail designs. If you enjoy a festive mani, then check out this super cute St. Patrick’s Day nail designs that are sure to get you in the holiday spirit!

1. Simple & Sweet

Let’s start out with a nail anyone can do- 1 color! You can’t go wrong with an awesome shade of green to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. Whether it’s a glitter, matte or neon, your nails will be on point.

This is #KissMe from the upcoming #StPatricksDayDuo releasing February 26th at 12 EST from @lepolish! This is described as a medium green polish loaded with pink shimmer and is opaque in 1 coat! Check out more photos of this and the other polish of the duo on my YouTube and blog! #prsample #indieswatch #lepolish #stpatricksday #stpatricksdaynails #greenpolish

2. Glitter

Using a glitter shade will instantly make any manicure fancy (even though it’s really quite awful to remove from your nails). I love the multi-colored glitters used on this mani, and the accent nail with the teeny tiny shamrock. Super adorable.

3. Pot O’ Gold

This design is just adorable. You have all the major themes of St. Patrick’s Day (except maybe the beer, haha) all in one mani: rainbow, gold and green! This is a mani you just have to try.

4. Classy St. Patty

I feel like gold makes anything fancy and throw in a matte finish? Winner in my book. This design looks like its either stenciled or made with foils. Whatever it is, this is a classy mani any woman would want.

Bit O Luck of Thee Irish! We have here a plaid design for Irish Kilt and 4 Leaf Clovers for Luck! #stpatricksday #stpatricksdaynails #nailpro #nailart #nails #nailporn #manicure #green #gold #fashion #glamour #glitter #ilovemyjob #youngnails #artscreen #caption #unique #instagood A photo posted by Krizia Aviña (@kritz_jammin_nails) on Feb 18, 2016 at 9:43pm PST

5. St. Patty’s Style French Mani

Talk about simple but makes a statement! I LOVE this idea if you are a frequent French manicure girl. It can get a little boring with your basic pink and whites, but this glitter accent nail takes it up a notch and will have everyone looking!

6. Luck Of The Irish

I love this doticure that ties in to the Irish flag. If you have a dotting tool, it would be quite easy to achieve this look on your own, and I bet you’d get tons of ooh’s and ahh’s.

7. The Whole Package

Now THIS is a St. Patrick’s Day manicure! While I can think of maybe one person that has the artistic ability to pull this off, it still warrants a highlight in a St. Patty’s Day nail design post. You’ve got it all with this one, even the beer!
