Ikat Nails Take II
1st March, 2012 - Posted by Emily - 7 Comments
I didn’t have any inspiration lately so I turned to an old favourite, ikat nails! I was under time restraint and these are super quick nails so they were the perfect choice! I used a slightly different colour scheme than last time. The blue was a little lighter and I used orange instead of coral pink.
The polishes I used were: Catrice – Am I Blue Or Green and China Glaze – Papaya Punch. I also used my Models Own black and white stripers.
I’ve been really busy the past few days with painting swatchicles (nail tips on popsicle sticks), I’ll make a big post when I finish them. I honestly cannot wait to share my pictures of all my beautiful swatchicles. I also (finally!) bought a second Helmer today. I cannot wait to finally reorganize my stash!

Thanks so much Gwenn!! It's a shame we live so far apart, otherwise you should come over and I could teach you how to do them in person hehe!

I really love these. As a nail-art noob I'd like to know how to do this.

Hey Stefanie! Thanks so much! I would love to do a tutorial for these but as Mr.Candiipants already did one I would suggest you take a look at hers here!
