Turkey Day Stripes

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!  I am looking forward to a very full day (3-4 meals!) of food & family.  Then my mother and I are heading out shopping, even though we only need a few things.  It's just nice to have some mother daughter time with no time constricts.  The men are at home asleep so no one is waiting for us to get home and we just shop and talk :)

St. Paddy's Day

This weekend I have a beautiful green mani for St. Paddy's Day! My husband is part Irish (born here) & I have a thing for Irish accents and drinking so this is a favorite holiday of mine :)

Basecoat: Nail-Aid 3 Minute Artificials
Base Color: Barielle Lily of the Valley- 2 coats
Diagonally on the Tips: Sinful Colors Call You Later- 2 thin coats 
Shamrock: Barielle Lily of the Valley
Gold Base: Sinful Colors All About You- many coats (lost count, maybe 5-6?)
Topcoat: Sally Hansen InstraDri- 2 coats

I forgot to put a base on under it to help with opacity, I did however add a base on my left hand and that one only took maybe 3-4 coats. The shamrock was done with a dotting tool and the diagonal tips were free-handed.
