Whether you’re chugging green beer or trying to find the elusive end of a rainbow, these St. Patrick’s Day nails will make your March 17th a little more extra. Not that your head-to-toe green outfit didn’t hit that mark already.
These nail designs obviously include lots of green nail polish, in addition to tiny shamrocks, bits of gold, colorful rainbows, and more. While some of them are elaborately detailed, they don’t all require the luck of the Irish to recreate. Just a steady hand, or enough gold to pay a nail tech.
These St. Patrick’s Day Nails Are The Best Green Accessory
1. St. Patrick’s Day Press-On Nails
Treat yourself to these festive press-ons as a reward for finally taking your Christmas tree down last week.
Available on Etsy.
2. Kiss Me, I’m Irish Press-On Nails
No matter what your DNA test says, these press-on nails say you’re Irish. Apparently, so is your dog. What a world traveler!
Available on Etsy.
3. Short Irish Flag Nails
We’re a tad jealous that the American flag can’t fit on these adorable short nails for the 4th of July. As if we actually had the patience to paint 50 stripes and 13 stars. Of course we took US History, why do you ask?
4. Feelin’ Lucky Rainbow Nail Art
If you can get through creating this nail art, you can do anything. Except pick up that fallen quarter from the ground, or unbutton your pants, or put in contact lenses, or…
5. St. Patrick’s Day Nail Stamps
If you prefer shorter nails and a design that only takes three hours to create instead of 13, allow us to introduce you to the wonderful world of nail stickers. Now you have more time to watch Love Is Blind!
6. Irish Flag Glitter Nails
These traditional Irish colors will go great with your traditional Irish meal. Guinness and Lucky Charms, of course. Did you think we meant corned beef and cabbage?
7. Glittery Celtic Knot Nails
For something a bit more traditional, this green glitter nail polish is layered with gold Celtic knots. It’s cute, classy, and way more aesthetically appealing than the Blarney Stone.
8. Green Snake Nails
Did you know that snakes were a metaphor for pagans? We’ve also heard they were a metaphor for Taylor Swift, but we’re not sure who claimed it first.
9. Sparkly Lucky Charms Nail Design
Cereal-themed manicures are our new favorites. Raisin Brand is next.
10. Rainbow Nails
Roy lost his middle initial on this one, and you’ll likely get pinched for the lack of green. But hey, if you shape your nails like this, you can pinch back with abandon.
11. Shamrock Nail Art
With a rainbow ombré, some shamrock stamps, and a speck of gold glitter, you’ll create one of the most powerful trifectas known to man. Not to be confused with Larry, Curly, and Moe, of course.
12. Pot of Gold Nails
Of course we didn’t stick our hands into the pot of gold. Why do you ask?
13. Leprechaun Nails
Is this a St. Patrick’s Day movie or a Halloween movie? Anyone have Jennifer Aniston on speed dial?
14. Neon Shamrock Nail Design
St. Patrick’s Day can be a low-key affair if you’d like, just like these nails. But we wouldn’t exactly call 50 pounds of mashed potatoes “low-key.”
15. Irish Flag Reverse French Mani
This nail design is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day if you wore your only green shirt on March 16th.
16. Clover Nails
Finally, nails that will match our shamrock tattoo that we got on spring break in college. Now, where to put the infinity sign…
17. Jameson Nails
St. Patrick’s Day is like Valentine’s Day, but for people who love Jameson and instead of chocolate. Or should we say, Jameson and chocolate. Don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it!
