Hello lovelies!
Guess who did no homework this weekend? Me! Hehe oops. My dad came to visit on Saturday so that's my excuse. I'm not really worried about getting it done, so no worries!
Onto the nails!
This was my first attempt at a fishtail braid manicure! Probably never going to do this again! (:
More after the jump:
Here's what I used:
These nails took so long to do and I wasn't even being patient with it like I should have. I wasn't letting my strokes dry because I was getting frustrated since my yellow polish was super goopy. Definitely not a fan of this technique.....
I ended up following Lucy from Lucy's Stash's tutorial (here). She makes it seem so easy!....I bet she waited in between strokes....I also didn't realize until after I finished but these are the same colors are Brazil's flag and it's all I can think about when I look at these.
This post turned really negative pretty quickly....which is weird since I'm in a really good mood! Blah, I don't even know. For a first attempt, I think I did a decent job. Would I wear these? Nope.
Here's a song for today:

Thank you so much! (:
DeleteI like the colors together <3 I haven't done this techniue before, so I'm half dreading when I try to do it myself later this week
ReplyDeleteHaha I was dreading doing these, but I'm glad I did it. So I now I know that I don't like doing it haha!
DeleteWow your first attempt is so much better than my first (and second!) attempts!! But you did put a key phrase in there which I overlooked, "waiting for the strokes to dry...."
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks! And yeah, every tutorial of this technique should come with a warning about drying haha!
DeleteLmao I just got so confused there for a split second coz my Google+ name is Emma B, and was like, wait have I commented haha! I LOVE these nails! Definitely channelling Brazil, but that's good! I want these nails, because they remind me of summer + sun - and it's still a bit too chilly here! I can't believe this is your first attempt, they're so good!! Great job! Must get mine done now! X
ReplyDeleteHahaha oh man! That's great! (: And yay, I'm glad they make you think of summer! Thanks so much! (:
DeleteLove this effect!:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! (:
DeleteI did this too once n my experience was same as yours. .. since I can't wait to dry my strokes too. I love the style but I wont do it until I hv hours to spare. Your manicure is pretty nice and as it's your first attempt I think u did marvellous job.
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah, this is definitely a time-consuming design! Thank you so much! (:
DeleteThese look great. I am yet to try this technique
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Give it a go, you'll do great! (:
DeleteThese look awesome! I did them once and vowed to never do it again, so I'm so glad that I kinda found a way around it for this week ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, can't say I'll ever attempt these again haha. I can't wait to see what you did! (:
