If you haven’t realized from my last few posts, I’m really into neon nails right now! I love a good, bright manicure that glows in the sun. A bunch of my admired nail bloggers from the Oh Mon Dieu challenge recently did ikat manicures, so I thought I’d try it out too. Let’s see how I did:
Not too bad right? Ikat seems to be one of those designs that lends itself really well to slightly messy technique, which really works out for me! Here’s another pic:
And one last pic where I adjusted the color a bit to show how the peach looks in different lighting:
Colors used:
- Base: China Glaze Sun of a Peach (such a gorgeous neon peach)
- Ikat: Zoya Purity (white), China Glaze Highlight of my Summer (neon mint), and Zoya Raven (black)
I really like this color combination and am overall pretty pleased with how this came out! I think if I do ikat again, I’ll make the triangular shapes more narrow and maybe use a smaller brush to make the black detailing look more “brushy.”
Have you done ikat nails before? What color combos do you like? Are you as obsessed with neons as I am right now?!
This is a great combination of colors! You did this perfectly!
Thank you so much! I wasn’t 100% happy with how my pinky came out, but I like it overall 🙂
Pretty! I love this color combination – it’s so summery 🙂
Thanks 🙂 I’ve been so into neons recently!
This is really pretty!
Thank you so much 🙂 I have to try this design again!
looks great!
Thanks friend 🙂 I loved seeing all the ikats from your challenge!
