The Ikat-Patterned Manicure

An eye-catching manicure is kind of the finishing touch of the moment, and these ikat-printed nails are gorgeous and fun and (relatively!) easy.
1. Get your nails into good shape—clip, buff, file, moisturize.
2. Clean nail beds with a whitening pen (or a bit of polish remover). Start with a base coat of clear polish; let dry completely.
3. Press ikat wraps onto each nail, smooth out wrinkles with fingers, then file away excess wrap.
4. Finish with clear top coat for shine.
