Orange Ikat Half Moon Nail Art!

Hey everyone! Today I have an ikat meets half moon design to share!

I wrote my second final today so I just have two more to go, one tomorrow morning and one early next week! Then I'll be free to blog and paint my nails as much as my little heart desires! I pre-wrote this post a few days ago so I could get one more post up while I'm busy studying for finals. So without further ado...

Onto the nails!

Orange Ikat Half Moon Nail Art featuring OPI Toucan Do It If You Try

For this look, I started off with two coats of OPI Toucan Do It If You Try as a base. This polish looks super bright on my pale skin and I don't wear oranges too often so it was fun to wear!

Next, I went in with American Apparel T-shirt (white), Essie Mesmerize (blue) and finally American Apparel Hassid (black). I always love a good orange and blue combo! This colour palette was inspired by MrCandiipant's very first nail art tutorial on Youtube; a normal (as in not half moon) ikat design with a blue base and orange details!

I applied a super thick coat of top coat and I was done! It bubbled on my thumb and index finger nails because it was so thick, so I probably went a little overboard!

I ended up really loving this look, it made me feel very Pinterest-esque or something along those lines. I don't love ikat print in general (hence why this is my first time trying it) but I enjoyed wearing these quite a bit!

I kind of think my nails were at a perfect length here. Some poses look weird when my nails are too short or too long, but I think they all look quite nice at this length!

What do you guys think of this look or ikat in general? Do you tend to wear oranges often? I'd love to know!

Thanks so much for taking a look everyone! I'll be back with a gorgeous thermal polish from Polished by KPT in the near future! It's crunch time for me (I have finals to write, as I said above) so I might not be posting too frequently at the moment and for the next few days. But I'll have tons of time to post very soon! Happy Thursday guys! =)
