Hello everyone! Happy almost St. Patrick's Day! For this years St. Patty's day design we will be using a lot of holo polishes, because they all ready have rainbows in the polish, so they are just fitting, and of course we will be using some polishes from the Holo Taco rainbow collection, along with other polishes that go with the St. Patty's theme.
Here are the polishes and nail art tools sued to create this rainbow filed design:
Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.
Polishes- A lot of polishes! Holo Taco rainbow collection, KBShimmer- Blue- d Lines, OPI Hawaii- My Gecko Does Tricks, and Holo Taco-Mint Money- Metallic Foil Collection.
Acrylic paint- Green.
Nail art brushes- Thin stripper brush and thin detail brush.
Other- Nail art tape/stripping tape and makeup sponge.
Cup of water to clean off your nail art brush.
Apply a base coat to clean dry nails, then let that dry.
Polishes-
Thumb and ring- blue holographic polish.
Index and pinky- green shimmer polish.
Middle- Holographic rainbow polsihes.
Let that dry as well.
Gradient on index and pinky nail:
On the index and middle nail we will create a glitter gradient with a silver polish. I used Holo Taco-Mint Money for the sliver glitter, this is a green based polish but because I polished it over a green, the green in this polish does not show. For the gradient first polish a small amount near the tip of the nail. Then take a makeup sponge with that same glitter polish on it and dab that on the tip of the nails.
Rainbow on the middle finger nail:
On the middle finger nail place four pieces of nail art tape/ stripping tape diagonal going down the nail. Starting at the tip of the nail, polish the first area red,then the next area, yellow, green, blue, and lastly purple. Then before the polish dries quickly remove the tape, then polish over the area's that the tape was covering.
Shamrock on the ring finger nail:
Take a thin detail brush with green paint on it and make kind of a heart shape for the leaves staring near the cuticle, then two on each side and one near the tip of the nail, then fill that in at lest three times to be opaque.
Rainbow on the thumb nail:
On the thumb nail we will be using all seven of the polishes from the Holo Taco Rainbow collection, but a very small amount (don't wait to waste the holo!) On a nail mate poor a small amount of polish, one at a time, starting with red on a thin stripper brush, then make a arch in the middle of the nail. Then clean the brush off between each color, and repeat the same steps for each color; yellow, orange, blue, green, purple, and magenta.
Once you have your St. Patty's Day design the way you like, full of rainbows! Apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last.
Hope all of you enjoyed this holographic rainbow design for St. Patrick's Day!
See you next time for more nail fun!
