Candy-colored fishtail manicure (+ Video Tutorial)

Hey guys! Today's post is very exciting (and sort of nervewracking) for me. You've seen manicures like today's on my blog before; I call it the fishtail style. Others call it the chevron, but I think fishtail suits it better because of the curved lines. To me, chevrons are straight edged! Anyway, that is neither here nor there.

The fact of the matter is, when I asked for comments on my last giveaway, a huge number of you guys asked me to do more tutorials. I also got a lot of requests for videos! So I took the plunge! Truthfully, I know almost nothing about video, and thus had to hack my way through this video like a tactless explorer in the jungle with a machete. I think it turned out fairly well for my first time though!



There is obviously room for improvement, and I will get there with time! I am still trying to figure out the best lighting situation, how to improve the video quality, color balancing, and how to sound more animated in my voiceovers (I was so focused on what to say!). I will get there though and I appreciate your patience. :)
In the meantime, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

I won't go over the technique because I have discussed it in my older fishtail posts, and, well HELLO, there's a tutorial video up there!

The colors I used are:
OPI If You Moust, You Moust
Essie Bikini So Teeny
butter LONDON Slapper

I hope you guys enjoyed my first step into video! As always, I'd love to see if you give this technique a try, so stop by the Chalkboard Nails Facebook or Twitter pages and share with me!
