St. Patrick’s Day is March 17 this year. The celebration centers around St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Over the years, the holiday has grown popular in the US, becoming a time to celebrate Irish culture. Today, many cities will host parades. But besides St. Patrick’s Day being a major celebration in US cities, it is also a day for some fun St. Patrick’s Day-inspired nails. While the color green became synonymous with the holiday, there are still many creative ideas for nail art.
Green swirls
Swirls are another design that uses the same combination of colors but can have a different design on each nail.
Clovers
Four-leaf clovers symbolize luck and a standard image you see during the holiday. You can draw entire clovers or make the french tips with the shape of a clover leaf. They end up looking like hearts.
Green and gold
Adding gold accents to deep green creates a sleek but still-on-theme design you can continue to wear past the holiday. It’s a perfect color combination for any occasion.
Metallic green
Metallics have been popular recently, and the great thing about metallic nail polish is that they come in every color of the rainbow. A green shimmery metallic color adds a playful and fun look to your nails.
Simple green
You can’t go wrong with classic greens. Solid colors such as deep forest greens and muted moss or fern greens are great not only for St. Patrick’s day but also every other day.

Glitter
All that glitters is gold. You can never go wrong with some glitter here and there.
Green marbling
Mix and match greens with some marbling. It’s a great way to keep the look simple and still pretty cool.
Rainbow
Since it is said that you can find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, rainbow patterns are an exciting way to recognize St. Patrick’s Day while also being different.
DEMIblue has all colors of the rainbow: Summer Dress Season, Explosion, Sunny Juliet, Lend a Hand, and Boo Blue, for some examples.
Green gradient
Along the theme of solid green colors, instead of just one color for every nail, you can do different colors of different shades on each nail.
Neon green
Add neon green for a pop of color for St. Patrick’s Day. You can apply it to the entire nail if you feel bold or mix it with the typical deep greens.

Blobs
Blobs are always fun. There’s no right way to do it. You can just add all sorts of colors in funny shapes. Add some contrasting black swirl lines for a more interesting pattern.
