St. Patrick's Day Patchwork

Hello lovelies! St. Patty's Day is the anniversary of my heart surgery as well as the birthday of my bunny Dusty Clover! I wanted to do a St. Patrick's Day manicure with China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses on all my nails except for the ring fingers and then do a silver nail with a green shamrock on my ring fingers, but it did not really work out the way that I wanted it to. So...I tried something else I had been wanting to!

First, I used CND Stickey base coat and then one coat of Zoya Trixie and let it dry. I did not put a topcoat over this layer but I sort of wish I had because when I taped off the nails there were a few bald  patches left that I had to cover. Anyway, after Trixie dried, I used one piece of tape on each nail and covered about half the nail on a diagonal in varying directions. Next, I painted on China Glaze Jolly Holly and took the tape off. After about 5 minutes I used Poshe Fast Dry top coat over this and let it dry about 10 more minutes. When it was dry I taped off the nails again on diagonals in varying directions. I tried to cover part of both the green and silver parts. Then I painted on China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses and took off the tape. After about 5 minutes, I applied another coat of Poshe.

I definitely need more practice especially on the pinky nails but it turned out really pretty and unexpected for St. Patty's Day!
