Flip/Flop February Day 10: Fishtail Braid/Half Moons!

Helloooo again lovies! It's already day 10 of Flip/Flop February!

Today's Flip/Flop is Fishtail Braid/Half Moons. This one was a toss-up for me, because I love half-moons, but I'd never done fishtail braid before and had been to try it. So ultimately, I decided to go out of my comfort zone a little and went with the flip! :)

And I have to say, I really like it! I was afraid it was gonna be really complicated and confusing and turn into yet another fail for me, but it was actually pretty simple and easy!
It's funny, because I can't fishtail braid my hair to save my life, but I can braid polish! LOL.

The technique is actually a lot simpler than it seems, you just keep layering back and forth until you reach the bottom of your nail. There are loads of great tutorials out there to explain it. :)

The colors I used were:
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Celeb City
Sephora by OPI - I'm Wired
Sephora by OPI - Read My Palm

    1. Thanks! Yeah I thought it was gonna be a lot harder than it was, I just used the bottle brushes! It's alot easier than it looks. I followed a tutorial that I found on Pinterest :)
