My shamrock shake brings all the leprechauns to the yard...Hearts & Promisses Shamrock Shake

It's funny how you don’t realize how much you’ll miss something until you no longer have access to it. For me, one of those things is McDonald's Shamrock Shake.

If I can’t indulge in this annual minty vanilla treat in Tokyo, at least I can enjoy it in another form.

Inspired by McDonald's Shamrock Shake (and yes, I initially bought the polish solely for its name), Shamrock Shake is a pastel, neon yellow-based mint green cream with silver shimmer so fine it’s almost microscopic. It’s

a more vivid version of its namesake, bringing that unmistakable hint of spring—and a perfect pop of green for St. Patrick’s Day—to my fingertips.

The formula applies well—though the first coat was a bit uneven, the second coat helped, and the third made everything just right.

I think I’ve accidentally turned this post into a drinking game with how many times I’ve written Shamrock Shake. Anyway, if I can’t have my St. Patrick’s Day treat, at least my nails can have their moment.
