I’m one of those people that enjoy marking things off a hand
written list, and in the making of this look, I got to mark TWO things off my
list. Oh the joy! The happiness! Until I looked at the picture, and realized that these were verrrrrry loose interpretation of stripes. Usually, stripes are straight. These…. are not.

And while that’s well and good, I kinda feel like this with
this look:
this look:
Yeah. I thought I would try my hand at stripes. Apparently I’ve
never done them before. Surely, how hard could it be? Haha, how those words are
mocking me right now. I figured with the use of striping tape PLUS the fact
that one of the polishes I was dealt for this #HePicksMyPolish round was a
striping polish, what could go wrong?

I may as well been drunk when doing this. I SWEAR at the
time they looked straight. Oh well, can’t be awesome all the time, right?

The trio of polishes my Mr. was oh so generous to pick for
me was:
me was:
- Orly – “Sashay My Way” #40449 (the gold glitter mix)
- Kleancolor – “Charcoal” # 6 (the metallic grey, recently
used in this look) - Sinful Colors – “Bad Chick” striping brush (the white,
ironic name for it isn’t it?)
This was actually the second look with this set of polishes
I made. I had a whole other look underneath, but I hated it and at 1 in the
morning started over again. It was just bothering me that much. I’m actually
really glad that the FingerFood Theme Buffet of the week’s prompt was “something
new” or else I may never have tried this.

They aren't too bad!
Haha, thanks Lisa, you are too kind!
Hey! Now you're the one being too hard on yourself! I didn't realize they were hand drawn until I read the text!! 😛
Good point, I'm probably over thinking it 🙂 Thanks Anne!
They look straight enough for govt work! I love the glitter over top – pulls the whole thing together. Love it!
Oh you are a hooooot! You totally made my laugh 🙂 Thank you <3
Love your turn of phrase! There's no way I could get lines this straight without tape. Definitely a much better job than I could have done x
I think you are being too hard on yourself! I like them!
Same as what everyone else is saying, I think you're being too hard on yourself. <3 But I know how it is – you're always your own worst critic.
I think it looks pretty amazing. I don't think I could get lines that good without some sort of guide or tape. I'm actually pretty shocked that you'd never wound up doing stripes by now!
They look pretty straight to me! 🙂 can't believe you've never done stripes before! I love this look! Oh and that meme… Hahaha!!
Ok, I think it's official! I MAAAYYY have over-worried about this look a tad. Thanks ladies for bringing back and center 🙂 And yeah, I tried going through my nail art, don't see any painted stripes! At least none I could find 🙂 I have NO IDEA how that is even possible….crazy.
