Step 1
Prep the nails. Apply a pink base coat and cure.
Step 2
Apply a gold gel polish to the tip and up the left side of each nail. Cure.
Step 3
Paint a shamrock at the tip of each nail using a green gel polish and cure. You can do this by using a small dotting tool to create six dots: two at the top, two on the left and two on the right. With a fine detail brush, join the dots to create three heart shapes. Join these in the centre and add a small stem.
Step 4
Paint a second shamrock on the left-hand side of each nail, using the green gel polish and following the previous step.
Step 5
Apply top coat and cure, then apply cuticle oil to finish.
