Happy Saint Patrick’s Day everyone! This year I did a simple green and gold manicure to celebrate the holiday.
As you may have already guessed from the post’s title I chose a green nail polish OPI Green-wich Village. I took a couple of pics before adding a gold gradient to show you how this green looks on my nails. Here’s the Village in 3 thin coats with a clear fast drying top:
The application on this green was ok but the polish was a bit on the thin side, and I needed some minor clean up.
In the pic below there’s a comparison of Green-wich Village with some of my green nail polishes that I often use, L-R we have:
- Orly Fresh – a neon semi matte nail polish that is perfect for summer
- Orly Green Apple – a light green creme
- OPI Green-wich Village
- Lumene Awakening – a muted dark green, for me it’s a color of a cold May morning :)
- Essie Navigate Her – a light dusted green creme
… and here’s OPI Green-wich Village in the bottle with “gold” coins just like it should be in Saint Patrick’s Day :D
I also added gold gradient to the tips of my nails using OPI All Sparkly and Gold that I bought during Christmas holidays.
One more pic of my St. Patrick’s Day green nails:
That’s it for today! I wish you luck, happiness and riches :) See you soon xxx
Great way to beatify a polish – to sponge the tips :) :) I like the base colour, besides, I have a post with a very similar green shade coming up tomorrow ;)
agree :) glitter tips can make any polish look festive :)
This green is way too yellow-toned (swamp like LOL) for me, but it looks great on you, and I love the combination with the tips :)
thank you Maria :) I must say I rarely wear warm toned greens alone, I’m more into cold green polishes :)
Green and gold for me is a perfect match and the OPI green is more than stunning!
Thank you :) Totally agree – this warm green and gold go well together :)
Such a lovely combination!
Thank you Ina :) I know green and gold nails for St. Patrick is not a unique idea, but it’s a great solution if one doesn’t have time for anything more fancy :D
Nice combination! Happy St.Patrick’s Day! :-)
Thank you dear :)
