So Festive
Show These Adorable St. Patricks Day Nails To Your Artist For Inspo
These nails sham-rock (sorry).

If you get your nails done often, you have a go-to color. Maybe you’re a Funny Bunny devotee, a Cherry Mocha stan, or a Ferrari Red girl through and through. But if you can be swayed, March is obviously the best month to try green nails. These St. Patrick’s Day nail designs will have you at least considering abandoning your favorite neutral shade for something more festive. (Bonus points: even if you forget to wear something green, no one can pinch you if you have a St. Patty’s Day manicure).
When you’re looking around online for St. Patrick’s Day nail designs, there are a lot of directions you could go. You could search for leprechaun, shamrock, or pot of gold nail art, or look for designs that include rainbows and even Lucky Charms, because why not? If you want something subtler, stick to a green shade you really love, or opt for spring designs in a lighter green hue that’ll feel fitting all month long. The holidays are also a fun time to try out nail trends you haven’t yet, so if you haven’t gotten on board with velvet nails or chrome powder, why not add some shine to your green mani this month? It can’t hurt.

Green and gold striped nails
How many stripes and shades of green you can fit will obviously depend on your nail length, but if you like them long, this design would look so cool.

Matte green nails with gold tips
If you like deeper colors, try this emerald shade of polish, plus a matte top coat and little gold leaf accents on the tips. So classy.

Green nails with gold glitter accent nails
Again, not all manicures require a ton of expertise to do. You could easily grab a gold glitter polish and a pretty green one on your next Target run and pull off a look like this at home.
Even if you opt out of bright green nails for March, perhaps you can try again come December.
