A Weekly Dose of Rainbows: Rainbow Fishtail Braid

 Purchased By Me / Giveaway Prize 

Hi guys, today I have the second mani for A Weekly Dose of Rainbows. This week the theme was Rainbow Fishtail Braid. I recently received my LE Fall Trio from Fancy Gloss, and I was so excited to use them. Since they are one coaters, I thought they'd be perfect for this technique. I also really wanted to use these because they are Fall colors, perfect for October.

Aren't these polishes just absolutely amazing!? They're my first Fancy Gloss polishes, and I must say I am extremely impressed because they are all one coaters. I did experience some staining which kind of sucks, but now I know I'll just have to use 2 coats of base coat.

Holding Fancy Gloss "Pumpkin Spice":

So, I was actually nervous to try out this technique because I'd never done it before. I thought it would be very difficult to do, and yup, I was right. Lol. I did struggle with making the stripes straight and even. I honestly wanted to finish as soon as I could because it wasn't my favorite challenge. But, I do think I have to try this again at some point because I'd like to master the technique even though I didn't fully enjoy it. Haha. But we'll see.

Close-Up:

Well, I guess the mani came out decent even though it was my first time trying it out, especially since I struggled with it. What do you guys think? Have you ever tried the Fishtail Braid technique? Let me know in the comments below or on my Instagram. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time.
