I did a fishtail braid mani for The Fourth last year, and loved it so much that I knew I wanted to do another this year! Plus, this week's theme for the Busy Girl's Summer Nail Art Challenge is glitter!
Since last year's Fourth of July fishtail braid was done in creme polishes and topped with glitter, I wanted to start with sparkly polishes this time, instead. It was a little lumpy, and I could have added more topcoat, but it just wasn't working for me, for some reason.
I think these would have turned out better if my polishes had been opaque and not required so many coats, but they're not too terrible!
