Talon-tastic Thursday: Lá Fhéile Pádraig special

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! I've no idea yet what we'll do this evening; Porterhouse in Covent Garden has been suggested, but I think I might be too old to put up with the crush.
Oh well. At least the nails are done.
I used Barry M Mint Green as the base colour on all nails except my ring finger, then sponged a nameless Claire's Accessories yellow-green and Sephora by OPI Leaf Him At The Alter over that, trying to achieve an impressionist mossy/lump of shamrock effect at the tips.
The shamrocks on my thumbnail were done with a white Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen.
For the nail on my ring finger, I started with a base of M&S Baby Blue and then used Sally Hansen and Nails Supreme nail art pens to draw Howyeh Kitty (inspired by this manicure.)
I got these shoes last weekend in Madrid without even thinking about Lá Fhéile Pádraig, but they're accidentally perfect for the day (and night) that's in it!

Love love love an excuse for festive nails.....
However because of the chronic quality and quantity of nail at the moment I cheated and used fake nails....no where near as creative as yours but still festive!!!!

Hi Lynnie,
Love the blog and everyone I copy(or at least try to!!) your designs everyone raves about my nails. I'm just wondering where I can get the Sally Hansen nail art pens in Ireland? Don't seem to be available online. Thanks :)

Thanks girlies! :)
Freckles - I picked them up the last time I was in NY and unfortunately they're not available here. We're not getting the SH Salon Effects decals either, which is a crying shame!
If you have family/a good friend travelling to the States, it might be worth asking them to pick some up for you as they're really not difficult to come by - every Rite Aid/Duane Read/Walgreens etc I came across had them.
Alternatively, you could try eBay or, if you're into swapping, you might be able to get them in a swap on makeupalley.com.
Let me know how you get on!

Hi Lynnie,
Thanks for getting back to me. I'll check out e-bay and let you girls know how I get on in the meantime I'll just stick to using a very narrow brush. :)
