2
Create the green gradient base.
- Apply the light green polish over the entire nail as a base.
- Use a sponge to dab the dark green polish at the tips, creating a gradient effect.
- Repeat until you achieve the desired blend, allowing each layer to dry.

Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is dry before applying the next to prevent smudging.
When creating the gradient, make sure to dab the sponge lightly to achieve a smooth transition.
Use a peel-off base around the nails for easy cleanup of excess polish.
Experiment with different sizes of shamrocks to add depth to the design.
