Ikat Nails Tutorial

What You Will Need:
Base and Top Coat
Turquoise, Pink, White nail polish.
Black Nail Art Pen or polish.
Toothpick.



Step 1: After applying Base coat and drying, paint nails using the turquoise.

















Step 2: Once dry, using the pink, draw small rough triangles on the nails (see picture) using the nail polish brush itself.


















Step 3: Once dry, apply smaller white triangles inside the pink triangles.


















Step 4: Whilst the white triangles are still wet (so you may want to do one nail at a time) take a toothpick and quickly push out the white edges to make fuzzy.














Step 5: Take the black nail art pen (or use black polish and toothpick) and draw a scribbled fuzzy black outline around the pink triangles.














Step 6: To finish add small black triangle blobs within the white triangles and once dry apply top coat.

There you have it! A simple Ikat pattern to your nails. You can combine different colour combinations too.
