fantasy art and tree chatter of aquariann

Guest Post by May Chiu of La Vie en May I love all holidays because it gives me an excuse to create some fun nail art, (not that I ever need one though). St. Patrick's Day is a day my friends and I take seriously. We throw on layers upon layers of green: shirts, necklaces, glasses, suspenders, the list goes on and on. Me being a nail fanatic, I just had to do something with my nails. This year, I decided to keep my nails simple. I used Essie's "First Timer", a beautiful pastel green, as a base coat and mixed my own green color for the 4-leaf clover stamp on a MASH plate . If you're wondering if you can mix nail polish like paint, the answer is yes! Great way to create your own colors, without having to buy more polishes. To make the clover stand out, I outlined the design in black. What do you guys think? How did you dress up your nails for St. Patrick's Day?

Despite the impression that my fair skin, reddish hair and married last name gives, I am not Irish. But sometimes even I forget I'm not - Ireland's culture, music and Celtic art enchants me! I've even changed my tune about Irish beer since I found green beer crafts on Etsy 104 Fridays ago - I've been enjoying stouts like Guinness more often. And who doesn't like dressing up in green on St. Patrick's Day? I have a rhinestone shamrock shirt that I accessorize with even more shiny jewelry. I haven't lost my touch for finding fabulous four-leaf clover necklaces in the fields of Etsy. As luck would have it, I spotted several of the same from my initial silver shamrock necklace search - plus a few more favorites below. 1.

I used to spend hours looking for four leaf clovers with a childhood friend. Spotting one amidst the thousands of three leaf clovers always felt so magical. I wonder if there are any still tucked away in the Sweet Valley Twins and Babysitters Club books in my attic. Where do children that use eReaders instead of paper books save their lucky clovers now? I haven't seen any clover patches blooming in Delaware yet, so I turned to Etsy to find lucky charms for St. Patrick's Day. Four leaf clovers are abundant in those handmade fields! The shine from these sterling silver shamrock necklaces caught my eye first. 1. Lucky Star Four Leaf Clover Charm Necklace with Hand Stamped Charm in Sterling Silver by Pure Rox In Print 2.
