Someone who does really fantastic arms, and not just snake arms, is Orit Maftsir (Israeli bellydancer).
I like your hint Maria, about ending at your fingertips - but for me I like to think of energy or water or something flowing right down from my head past my fingertips and flowing outwards - somehow it makes the movements much more fluid.
Practice in front of a mirror, and if you can, watch someone good on video or YouTube or something, and with that in your minds' eye, imagine yourself doing the same movement. It's true - imagery works!!
