Pretty, pastel ice creams to match the lovely weather. I have wanted to do these for ages, but they don’t really work on squoval nails. These rounded nails are so fun!

preciouspolish: Fishtail Nail Tutorial!  Paint the nail with a light coloured polish. Use a striping brush to map out the fishtail with an opaque polish. Use light strokes starting from the top free edge of the nail to the opposite side on a diagonal. Repeat this process, alternating direction, to the cuticle. Use a contrasting opaque polish to fill in one of the sections. From there, fill in the very next section that doesn’t touch the first filled-in section. Repeat this down the nail and see the photo if you need clarification. You can use a nail art brush for this but I just used the brush from the polish. It doesn’t have to be super neat because you’ll thicken up the outlines in the next step. Go over all of the lines you mapped out with your striping brush, making all of them equally thick. Use the same polish to fill in certain section like you did in Step 3. In the sections that still have the base colour showing through create thin diagonal lines down the middle, parallel to the direction of the section. Create small diagonal lines on each side of the line from Step 6 for a leaf-life pattern. “TUTORIAL: Fishtail Nails” on preciouspolish.com
