"Preppy Peach" Manicure/Nail Art

I recently received an email from Julep with some "preppy" nail art photos in it.  I saw one similar to this and thought, " I've got some colors like that and this should be pretty simple".  And, it was!

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!!
