This is week 4 so the topic is Inspired by the Runway - in the recently held Lakme Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2013 I saw a lot of beautiful pastels and what also caught my attention were the dresses in black and white geometric patterns. And in last week's challenge I really liked the fishtail braid nail art done by Shilpa from Love For Nail Art blog. So I took my runway inspiration and the fishtail braid nail art - put them together to create my runway inspired nails.

This nail art is simple to create (and I now realize I smudged the still wet nail paint while taking pictures, oh not again!)
First of all you need a handful of your favourite nail paints. I chose pastel pinks for the fishtail braid and the accent nail has the black and white geometric pattern.

Let's take a look at how I created the fistail braid and then I'll show you how to do the accent nail.
Tutorial - Fishtail Braid Nail Art Tutorial
This tutorial is pretty straight forward and hence I skipped the write up. As you can see you need to criss cross different colored nail paints. To create the braid effect you should separate out 2-3 colors for each side of the braid. As in the tutorial below I have chosen pink and light blue for the right side and purple and lime green for the left side. |

Tutorial Geometric Pattern - Inspired By The Runway
Next is the tutorial on creating a geometric pattern. You begin by covering the entire nail with a white colored polish. Once it dries completely you can use either a nail art brush or a tootpick to create the pattern as shown. |

You can of course create different patterns, the aim of the look is to have different shapes (I have focused on squares and triangles) and place these one after the other.
Now a few more pictures of the Inspired By Runway nail art!
