I is for Ikat

Happy Wednesday friends!!

Welcome to another installment of Kimber's Lacquer Korner's ABC Challenge.  Today's prompt is the letter I - I was originally thinking of doing ice cream nails, but just not feeling the cutesy right now - don't get me wrong, ice cream nails are super duper cute, I just wanted something a little more bold - you know me and the bold colors!!

I also wanted to support my buddy Becca over at Nail Narcotics!, some of you might remember her from Kimber's last challenge - the 31 Day Challenge - Becca will be posting her purple polished thumb all month in support of Epilepsy Awareness month, which is March here in Canada.  If you would like to show your support, you can email Becca your purple mani or purple thumb and she will include them in her posts.  If you don't have time to pull out your purple, take a second to head on over to Nail Narcotics! for tons of information on Epilepsy and Epilepsy Awareness.  I will be posting a purple mani every Wednesday - I would do all month, but I know I don't have enough purple polish to make it the whole way!!

  5. Looooooove Ikat. Unfortunately, I'm absolutely intimidated by the technique :(

    Fortunately, I have yours to make me smile.

    Great job, Nicole.

    An ice cream mani is cool, but Ikat is seriously inspirational.

    And lower in calories. :)
