Ikat is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs resist dyeing on the yarns prior to dyeing and weaving the fabric. While traditional ikat refers to a dyeing technique, modern ikat, inmainstream fashion terms, is specific form of geometric print that uses decorative triangles and diamonds. Many famous fashion designers used it print for their collections such as Oscar De La Renta, Dries Van Noten, Naeem Khan and Gucci.
I decided to recreate this print in nail design. It turned out to be very easy and fast. It took me 15 minutes to do design on 5 nails. All you need is 3-4 contrast colors, brush with a thin hair and that’s it! Try this simple design and you’ll see how easy and fun it is.

Self taught nail technician vs. Beauty school | Is it possible to learn manicure by yourself?

Is it possible to learn nails by yourself or is it necessary to take a special professional class?
I’ve been on both sides so I can share both experiences with you.
In some countries (the U.S. for example) to get a permission to work as a nail technician you need to get a license. So you need to attend beauty school firsthand. They usually tech basic skills like salon safety, product application, manicure, pedicures. 
But what’s next? Clients ask for ombre, chrome nails and nail art.
Is it possible to learn all this nail art techniques by yourself or special class is the fastest and easiest way?
My opinion is that it all depends on a particular person.
Some people are stubborn enough to repeat things over and over until they see the result. But usually taking a special class is a lot easier as educator can see your common mistakes and give you valuable advice on how to avoid them in the future.

What do you guys think?
Did you take any special nail art classes or you've learned everything by yourself?
