St. Patrick's Day Eyes & Nails

Leaping leprechauns! This Saturday marks the celebration of St. Patrick's Day. While it's an official holiday in Ireland, many Americans mark the occasion by wearing green--or drinking an emerald-colored beverage.


Lucky for beautynistas, Irish eyes are smiling. Green shadows, mascaras and lacquers pop well with spring colors. You can also create looks that transition from day to evening with extreme ease.  


To help you get your green on this weekend, we've paired our favorite lacquers and eye makeup. May the luck of the Irish be with you!
