So I've been saying for the past couple days how I don't know how to do this, I don't like that...blah blah blah! Well this was another that I didn't think would work out since I've only ever done one tribal mani before but THESE. ARE. AMAZING!
I chose to do tribal in the form of Ikat print which I love. I wanted it to be sort of a Southwestern feel with the colors so I used Sinful Colors Luminary for the sparkly, peachy coral base and Zoya Malia for the purple accent. I should have probably went with a turquoise but I really liked the color combination like this.
This technique was much easier than I expected and fast. I used a white creme to sloppily apply the diamond shape to all my nails. I added random spots over the white with Malia. Then I took a nail art brush and used super small brushstrokes with black to finish off the Ikat look. And that was it.
I really, really love this mani and I don't ever want to take it off. On my opposite hand I did the same mani but with opposite colors. So a purple base and coral Ikat. I just love it and can't wait to show it off more. (:
I love the colors you used for this! Initially, I was a bit skeptical of doing this design too, but seeing how awesome yours turned out makes me want to try it!
