ABC Challenge - I is for Ikat

Wednesday already?! I cant wait til this week is over and I can relax this weekend. For today's challenge, I tried something new. When it comes to nail art, I'm terrible. I have no artistic abilities and my hand is never steady. I really wanted to come up with some type of nail art to practice my skills. So today, I present to you, my Ikat nail design for the letter I. In the process of doing this mani, I was sure it was going to come out  horrific looking. After I used the black striping polish, it actually came together and looked half way decent. Not to shabby for my first time huh? Have a wonderful week everyone!

  4. Great job! I love this kind of nail art but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it, I'm worried by all these super thin black lines! :D

  5. It doesn't look like your bad at nail art at all! All the lines look really neat. The colors are gorgeous together. I couldn't think of any nail art that began with this letter. Very creative :))
