15 St Patrick’s Day Nail Designs

1. Leprechaun Nails

Give yourself and your nails the leprechaun treatment this St. Patty’s Day. And by that, we mean wear the gaudiest belt you can find.

2. Neon St Patty’s Day Coffin Nails

If these coffin nails have to put you in the ground, at least you can look for a pot o’ gold on the way down.

3. Chrome Black and Green Shamrock Drip Press-Ons

These press-on nails are a bit more poison apple than St Patrick’s Day, but that just means they match our wardrobe better.

Available on Etsy

4. Rainbow Cuticles and French Tip Nails

Tiny rainbow and shamrock cuticles offset these nails’ green and gold French tips. So far, we’ve got the negative space part down pat.

5. Green And Gold St Patrick’s Day Press-Ons

We like to keep our gold right at our fingertips. Scrooge McDuck would be so proud of us. Our diving skills, however, not so much.

Available on Etsy

6. Green And Gold Glitter Nails

This glitter polish is called “Total Celt-Down,” which is exactly what we’re going to have if we can’t get our hands on it. Tantrums don’t have age limits. Unfortunately Chuck E. Cheese’s does.

Available on Amazon

7. Chevron Gold And Rainbow Nails

Don’t stare too hard at these nails, or you’ll be hypnotized. Next thing you know, you’ve baked three dozen cupcakes and you wake up in a haze of flour and icing. :staring intensifies:

8. Pastel Lucky Charms Nails

We only had enough Lucky Charms to paint two nails because we ate the rest of them. Occupational hazard and all. Mmm, chemicals.

9. Celtic Nail Art

Take a bit more of a serious approach with this Celtic-themed manicure. Not that Lucky Charms aren’t completely serious. It’s just that we seem to have run out of those. Weird.

10. Diagonal Rainbow Stripes And Shimmery Green Almond Nails

These almond-shaped nails are perfect for pinching…more almonds out of the bag of trail mix we’re currently eating. Who are we kidding? We’re only in it for the M&Ms.

11. St. Patrick’s Day Press-On Set

Rainbows, gold, glitter… if you don’t wear these press-on nails for St. Pats, just bring them out for Pride.

Available on Etsy

12. Rainbow Tips

This fun manicure is the French manicure’s cool and eccentric aunt. Bring your tarot deck over anytime, Ethel!

13. Shamrock Nail Stickers

Nail stickers are our friends because nail stickers allow us to spend more time drinking Jameson in style and less time drinking Jameson and wondering how to stop biting our nails.

Available at Color Street

14. Holochrome Green and Rainbow Nails

This holographic chrome nail design will carry over well long after St. Patrick’s Day. Easter, hold your horses.

15. Short St Patty’s Day Nails

All that glitters is not gold. Except for these gonk and gold nails. We brought them to the bank and they gave us a whole lollipop in exchange.
