31DC2014 – Day 26 Inspired by a pattern

Day 26 and today the theme is “inspired by a pattern”! The pattern chosen for today’s challenge is IKAT, a pattern that looks complex but it’s really easy to paint if you have the patience to draw all those fine lines. The base of my manicure is the beautiful Mavala – Cobalt Blue. I’ve painted the lines by using a very thin nail art brush and China Glaze – Grass is Lime Greener, Kicks – Lemon Grass and Nordic Cap NP12. The studs are coming from Edgy Polish and the Mavala and China Glaze polishes are coming from Eleven.se. The IKAT pattern is explained in detail in my e-book about nail art, “Basic Nail Art Techniques and how to combine them“.

Take a look at the last year’s pattern where I had a red-ish base :) .
