How To Do Simple Designs on Nails?
Here a few nail polish and nail design essentials to get your perfect look.
Before applying nail polish, start by shaping your nail. Use a 100/180 grit emery board to shape your nails. Then get rid of your cuticles with the Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover and a cuticle pusher. Wash your hands to remove any excess cuticle remover.
Next use a base coat to protect your nail from staining. I like to use the O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat. After your base coat dries, use any of the nail designs below to create simple St. Patrick’s Day Nails!
After you apply your nail design, use a top coat to protect your nail design from chipping. I like to use the O.P.I Top Coat or the Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

- Holo Taco “Here for the Payday” Light Green Polish
- Essie “Off Tropics” Forest Green Polish
- Sally Hansen “Fanta-Seas” Green Glitter Polish
