St. Patrick's Day - An Unusual Holiday Post

I'm usually not too big on holiday nails. And usually when I do them,  I get so excited about the holiday that I do them 3 weeks in advance and they never actually are on my hands anywhere near the holiday. But *today* I have these semi-St. Patrick's Day nails on so I thought I'd share them with you! I mostly did these because I don't own anything green and I'm not in the mood to get pinched! Today I plan to celebrate St. Patrick's day by sitting around and watching movies. I'm not going to the parade, for fear of rowdy crowds. I'm not drinking green beer, because that's just gross. I'm not dressing up and going all out. These nails are essentially the only way I'm celebrating, which is exactly how I like to spend the holiday's -- painting my nails!

Checker Board

For these nails I was going to just do a simple checker board pattern but then I decided to spice it up a little. On my accent nails, I used the same medium teal but instead of using the very deep teal, I used a lighter blue (think China Glaze For Audrey -- My picture isn't exactly color correct). Then I put dots inside the squares. I ended up liking the darker nails WAY better than the light ones, and if I were to do this again, I might just do all my nails like the index, middle, and pinky. But overall this was a really adorable design that didn't take too much time, and wasn't too bold, so I loved it! Hope you like it too!
