There you have it. Not horrible for a first try on something I wasn't super excited for. The layers or whatever they are called aren't even but oh well, I'm not really even either! :) And this is the only photo out of like 30 that I took. It was off and on cloudy but also, for some odd reason it didn't want to photograph. Kept being blurry. So, extra large photo is what you get today! :)
I love the colors together though. The base is OPI Fly. I used OPI Planks A Lot and OPI Skull & Glossbones. Yep, it's a good ol' OPI braided mani! Woot! :)
***EDIT***
I totally forgot to show where I got the know-how on doing this trend! (I have no idea how I could forget that!) I found a wonderful picture tutorial from Lucy's Stash. (please click the link or the image to be sent to her site!)
What about you? Is there a trend that you don't really like? And have you attempted that said trend or do you stay far away from it?

It looks good lady! I like your colors too!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great!! I LOVE the color combo too, I love paring nudes with bright colors!
ReplyDeleteFly is such a pretty color, and bright too. I like how you paired the softer, more muted colors with it. Its a nice balance.
ReplyDeleteThanks you ladies! :)
ReplyDeleteI like this mani, even if you aren't particularly fond of it. Is there a tutorial out there that shows the braided mani process? Or would you be willing to do one for us? Pretty please? (bats eyes) Please?
