ARTSY WEDNESDAY: Fishtails

Welcome to Another week of ARTSY WEDNESDAY....This Weeks Challenge was to incorporate a fishtail (braided) look into our manicures

This was my first time Tackling this technique & I'm quite proud of how it turned out. There are many how-to instructions for fishtails floating around the net if Your unfamiliar with how to do this. I decided to go with thinner stripes instead of a chunkier look...it took a bit longer but was worth the extra effort. I also made mine a lite off center on purpose...just to give it slightly different look (not sure if it made a difference)
This manicure is definitely a practice makes perfect & I plan on trying this several more times with different colors.
I incorporated two Nicole OPI colors from My untrieds & I love them together :)

Polish Used:

•WetNWild Silvivor
•NOPI Wild Blue Yonder matte
•NOPI Respect The World matte
•Nina Ultra Pink Frost
•OPI Servin Up Sparkle
•Seche Vite
