Twinsie Tuesday: Mani Order From Your Significant Other/BFF/Family Member

Tuesday, November 25, 2014

Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is a mani order from another person. I asked my sister what manicure she wanted me to create and she said an ikat design. Its one nail art design I haven't done yet and she's always heard me talk about not doing one. I got help to create these nails by this post, Nail Art Tutorial - Ikat Nails from Nails by Kayla Shevonne.

Grey and Green Ikat Print Nail Art

I used OPI I Don't Give A Rotterdam! on all the nails. For the ikat design, I used a white striper from Born Pretty Store, Essie Mojito Madness, and a black striper from Born Pretty Store. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.

For my first try at them, I think my ikat design turned out great. The tutorial really helped me out too. What do you think?

    1. Thank you! Oh no, try following the tutorial in the post. It really helped me out and I went slow so I think that played a factor on how well these turned out.
