40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pink and Aqua - Ikat

Week 40 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

This week the prompt is Pink and Aqua and my personal pattern prompt - Ikat

I have only done this pattern once and then it was a very trial and error attempt (see here).

But I am quite happy with how these turned out first time, so without further a do....

Ikat fail and success

5 February 2013

I thought I would have a go at doing the Ikat design on my nails.  It looks so easy.  Even the several tutorials I saw on this pattern were so easy, surely I could do the pattern. 

So I choose my two colours and painted my nails.  Even on their own they looked lovely, I should leave them.  

But nope, I had to do the Ikat design, it is easy right? Wrong.  My design looked nothing like the design :o(   What a fail!!

So I took it all off and had another go, and hey presto I got it right.  I am not sure how I got the above design and then the proper Ikat design below, but I did and not bad for a second go.
