Ikat

Today I'm linking up with the nail files

So I am sure many of you have heard of the dying technique that produces the pattern known as Ikat. It can be seen everywhere nowadays from clothing to handbags to furniture. I personally LOVE the ikat pattern and decided to try some ikat nail art. No two ikat designs seem to be the same, so it was really open to interpretation.

Here are some examples of ikat print:


 Now onto the nail art. Although this design was a little time consuming, it did help that there really is no way to mess it up. Sometimes I have to try a design multiple times before I get it right, but I did all my nails on the first try.
