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!

A thing that I need to learn how to do is tape manicures. I think my impatience kills me for doing them because I always (well, the one time I did one) put the tape down before my polish dried. This was SUPPOSED to be a super quick mani to last me through an evening out. I painted it in about 10 minutes with acrylic paints (which dry faster) and then quickly applied my top coat. But obviously I forgot that top coats require time to dry as well -- I started getting dressed and immediately ruined these nails! Without enough time to repaint, I spent the entire evening attempting to hide my nails (which is really really hard to do). I think everyone probably thought I was crazy for grabbing all my drinks with like a deformed monkey paw of a hand. Stupid ruined manicures always ruin my nights!
