Yet, if you're a bit more conservative when it comes to St Patricks Day nail art, feel free to adorn your mani with a shamrock flower here and there. Color-wise, green perfectly matches with gold and white, so use them either as the base or as the design tone.

However, if you think that a shamrock flower is too traditional, you can simply replace it with anything, like polka dots or some other floral patterns. Just stick to green shades.
