Fishtail Braid Nail Art

Hello there!! Today is Day 12 of the April 30 Day Nail Art Challenge and Week 3 of the Girly Girl Nail Art Challenge. The theme for the 30 day challenge is Fishtail braid. The theme for week 3 of Girly Girl Nail Art Challenge is Delicate and Elegant, and I am free to do a lovely pattern for this. So, I have done this fishtail pattern mani for both the challenges:) ..I know...I am lazy..lol..Seriously, this mani is an easy one but all those layers of the nail polish took forever to dry but I was very much satisfied with the end result as it was my first attempt of fishtail braid design:).

I used...

Apply a base coat and two coats of white nail paint and let it dry.

Then create a diagonal grey line as shown.
Then a diagonal black line in the opposite side making a 'X'.
Then a white diagonal line as shown parallel to and overlapping a part of the grey line. 

Again a grey line in the opposite direction, parallel to the black line. Make sure that all the lines created have the same thickness for a clean look. Repeat adding lines as shown with all the three colors, following the sequence(white, grey, black) till you have reached the end of your nail. 
Then black.. 
White...

Grey...
Black...
Finally apply a top coat and done:)!!
