Fishtail Manicure/Tutorial

 
I saw this manicure on ChalkboardNails blog and thought it looked fantastic but simple to do and thought I'd give it a try using colors I had on hand.  She used a different pink on each finger but I chose to go with the same pink on all fingers.  I thought it turned out pretty good!  Here is the link to her blog post - Pink Fishtail Ombre.  Keep reading for my version of it.
 
Paint nails with one to two coats of a neutral polish.  I used Zoya in Pandora .
 
Next, paint a curved diagonal across your nail from about 2/3 of the way up your nail toward the tip in a dark pink color.  I used Elf in Hot Pink.
 
Do the same thing on the other side of the nail to create the fishtail shape.
 
Repeat the process with your darkest color.  I used Sinful Colors in Rich in Heart.
 
Finish with your favorite topcoat, I used Sally Hansen Dries Instantly Top Coat , and you're all done!!
