Style 3 then miss 3 then style 3

I've used a layout which has a grid of 3 blocks by an infinite number of rows. Is there any way that I can style the first 3 blocks, miss the next 3, style the next 3 etc etc?

I've used :nth before but not sure it can do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, (n+3) can do that, but I just woke up and can't think.

  }
li:nth-child(6n+1),li:nth-child(6n+2),li:nth-child(6n+3){
    border-radius:5px;
    border-color:#999;
