If stripes, polka dots or leopard prints aren’t your style, then why not incorporate this funky IKAT design into your everyday look. Today’s video will help you achieve IKAT inspired nails – a great accessory or addition to any outfit. The IKAT design was started in pre-Columbian Central and South American cultures as a dyeing technique similar to tie-dye used to pattern textiles by warping fibres prior to dyeing them. It was first popularized into fashion looks in the summer of 2011 but has made a widespread comeback this summer. Whether you catwalk to campus each day or take it easy in loungewear, these nails are an easy way to stand out and own your style.
