This is another one of the themes that I suggested originally, and when I did I had one thing on my mind-fishtails! I do love the way fishtails look when they're done but I don't love the amount of time and patience you have to have with them. Since the challenge has been ongoing, I've discovered a new favourite technique and that's gradients-I love getting the colours to blend nicely together and they're a fab way to have neutral nails but in more than one colour! I decided as a nod to my excited just-started-nail-blogging self I'd combine the two for this mani.
Polishes used:
Barry M-Plum,
Sinful Colors-Amethyst,
Barry M-Prickly Pear,
Revlon-Cloud,
OPI-I Juggle...Men
They're not the best gradients in the world cos my polishes wouldn't play nice, but they were still quite pretty. I do still love fishtails but they are a pain in the butt to do! They look awesome when done though so can't complain.
There you go, pretty purple pretties.

ReplyDeleteThank you for all your kind comments! It's not too difficult to do if you make sure you keep the polishes in the right order. I used this tutorial when I did my first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnVIzeqJ8ik&feature=related
