Fish Tail Manicure with Pictorial

Hi Loves!

I am absolutely loving Fish Tail manicures lately and i thought i would try it myself. 

It was slightly time consuming, with this design taking me a little over 40 mins, but i think the final result is so worth it!! 

I used OPI Designer De Better, Essie Play Date & Orly Fancy Fuchsia. But you can use any 3 colours you like!

The most challenging thing about this manicure is keeping a steady hand and making sure your lines are straight.

 

Fish tail nail Pictorial: 

This nail art is meant to look like a fish tail braid design. Just like the polishes are intertwining.

You just keep criss crossing your colours from left to right. 

Pick any 3 colours of your choice, I chose OPI Designer De Better (silver), Essie Play Date (purple) and Orly Fancy Fuchsia (pink).

1. Use a base coat of tour choice (I like Butter London nail foundation) 

2.Paint entire nails with silver 

3. Paint a stripe starting at top left corner with pink 

4. Paint a stripe with purple from top right, so you have an X shape 5. Take silver and paint a line under pink starting at top left 

6. Take pink and paint a stripe under purple, starting at top right 

7. Paint purple stripe under silver from left 

8. Paint silver stripe under pink from right 

9. Paint pink stripe under purple on left hand side 

10. Paint purple stripe under silver on right hand side 

11. Paint silver stripe on very bottom left side of nails 

12. Paint pink stripe on very bottom right hand side of nails. 

Apply top coat & cuticle oil.

Have fun creating your fish tails!! <3
