Fingerfood Theme Buffet: Fishtail

Monday 14 April 2014

Evening all!

I had a lovely day off work in the sunshine today, but that meant I was out frolicking in those rays rather than painting my nails lol! So, I only had time to do an accent nail which is a shame because I love this look and once you get your head around it, it can look amazing! Super duper happy to be back in the Theme Buffet swing and have them scheduled in for every Monday from now on :)

To begin with I put down two coats of the pale blue and left to dry. Next I took a teal and silver to paint one over the other in a cross fashion to build up the braid. It would take an awful lot of explaining which would make it seem more complex than it is so just check out THIS brilliant guide from Lucy's Stash!

Love this colour combo and was impressed with the coverage of light over dark, though these polishes never fail me, whatever I'm using them for!

  1. Love this, I've just painted my nails a plain purple shade and was a bit stuck for what to do to make them more interesting- I'm totally going to steal your idea of a fishtail accent nail! Xx
