Ikat Inspired Nail Art

I feel like I've been absent from the internet for ages and am making a vow to properly get back to uploading videos on a slightly more regular schedule, starting today!

I found this video saved on my computer that I filmed absolutely ages ago but just hadnt got round to editing so today I gotten into gear and edited/voice overed (if that's even a word!) and uploaded all this afternoon!

As I said I filmed this ages ago but as the weather is starting to get warm where I am I figured it's still relevant as it is a very spring/summery design.

I love the ikat design as you can play about with the colour as much as you like, making it either very uniform or as crazy as you fancy having each nail a different colour! I decided to use three main colours that were all really summery! Along with OPI's Alpine Snow and a black nail art polish I also used Max Factors 'Pretty In Pink', Essie's 'Mint Candy Apple' and 'OMP!' by Nails Inc (although I think this colour was made as a limited edition as a freebie for a magazine).

The design is super easy to do and as ever I would love if you sent me any re-creations as it's great seeing your take on the nail art design! You can find me on all the usual places (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pintrest) all under 'iBeautyBoutique'...come say hi!

Water Decals

I would say that water decals are one of the easiest ways to create intricate nail art designs on your nails, once you have figured out how to use them.

  

There are two types of water decals

Nail Art - detailed designs that are put on top of your chosen nail polish colour

And...

Full Nail - a patterened water decal that will cover your whole nail, leaving you with a similar look like many nail wraps or minx.

Check out my videos below to learn how to apply them!

Full Nail Water Decals

And by the way, I bought mine from Amazon by a company called 'Viva La Nails' but if you just type in 'nail art water decal' and you will be spoilt for choice!

Indie Pattern Nails

So this design was a request from someone that watches my videos. Apart from the music I didn't know there was anything else that was categorised under the title 'indie' so I had a bit of a google sesh, and this is what I came up with!

I love this colour combination and the pattern kinda reminds me of a stripey jumper, lol! Watch the video below if you want to create these nails yourself!

Let me know if you have any requests :)
