fishtail braid nails

Hey all! For this week's nails, I followed a tutorial at swatchandlearn.com. It looks really complicated, but was surprisingly easy!

Colors used: Sephora by OPI "Opening Night" (dark blue), OPI "Danke-shiny Red" and Revlon Top Speed "Golden" I do recommend letting each stripe of polish dry completely before moving to the next stripe... I didn't, and my nails took ALL DAY to dry.

This was very fun, and you could do so many color combinations that the possibilities are endless! Neons for summer, glitters mixed with flats as in the tutorial... just so many choices! I will definitely try this again.

Bean has kindly allowed me to share my nail art on her blog.
With this nail design, I used my Couture gel nail polish. I attempted to do the fishtail design Bean did, but I found the gelpolish to be so self-leveling that it wouldn't hold the lines. I did the purple fishtails from pinky to thumb, but by the time I got done, the lines had melted into an arch. I guess I could have cured each nail separately, but I just went with this double-color french mani look.
Colors are Plum Fancy and After Midnight. :)
