Ikat, or Ikkat, is a weaving technique used to pattern fabrics. They come in many pretty designs. A characteristic of ikat prints is an apparent "blurriness" to the design. 
It's getting really famous in the nail art world as well. So I decided to try on out for myself, and of course, something I hadn't seen on any nail. I went for an elaborate one. Here, it is.

I got this amazing nail polish as a gift recently. It looks beige alright, but look what the macro lens revealed. Tiny glitter particles. *Lovestruck*

Let's get back to ikat.
I did manage to get a few good shots, where you can see the blurry effect. 

I picked out this design from google and just tries on different sections of it on the accent nails. for the others I just went for the conventional ikat which you'll see on most nails.

Most of my clicks are over exposed this time. Sorry, my bad. But the design is pretty clear, so I just let it go. Better clicks next time, I promise.

Happy nails to you!

Yup! It's none other than MINIONS and bananas. Lol!
Did you watch the movie?

Everyone, of all age groups, is crazy over Minions. And I had to get it on my nails.
Minion nail art is cute, easy and very very common :|
Yes, it's sad. I wanted mine to be different. So here's what I cooked up. It's almost 2 manicures in one.

My sister loves simple and pretty designs. She's not as wierd as me. Lol. 

We referenced a lot to get her the perfect design. And look what we came up with. 

It's very elegant and pretty. A pastel colour with a dark colour, I was not too sure. But when it all came together, it looked good!

All you'll need is a big dotting tool, or the back side of a paint brush, and a thin paint brush. Whatever colour you pick for your flower, pick a lighter colour from the same family for the centre of the flower. Here's how it's done followed by the outcome.

Let me know what you think. Do give it a try!

Happy nails to you!

Hi guys!
So I haven't been able to do my weekly post because I just attended one of my close friend's wedding. And oh my, she looked like a princess!
I had not witnessed a Rajput wedding before, so this was quite new for me. And also I missed out on a few functions due to a tight schedule.
But all that matters is I was there for her :)
All the best on the new journey. my friend!

And you think I was gonna give up this chance to do awesome manicures? Never!

I just need an excuse to do a fancy manicure. LOL

I tried to match my nails to my outfits. Let me know what you guys think.

So I'm very late in posting this one. I did this manicure on Friday, when the movie released, but posting it on a Tuesday. So much for weekly posts :/ .

I watched to movie this weekend. And I really enjoyed it. The reviews say otherwise. But for a person who doesn't follow the comics, I think it was good! 

I've used the decal technique, again. I realised making circles is not that easy. But I think it came out ok. There is a little room for improvement though.

Anyway enjoy this fun minimalist manicure. 

This is not a manicure which I'm going to keep for a while. But felt like having some fun!
