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.

Just like cheese and wine, or, since it’s St. Patrick’s day, beer and beef, you can’t go wrong with green and sparkles. While this combo is pretty simple to get, you can go creative experimenting with textures, application, colors, and patterns. It turns out marble and plaid patterns look great with shimmering green!

Though, if you feel like skillful enough, you might want to go further than a shamrock flower nail art, as it isn’t the only symbol of St. Patrick's Day. You can always use the elements of St. Patrick's costume, the pot of gold or even a mug of beer as an idea for your St Patricks Day nail art.
