Some taping and some striping

I have seriously been lacking inspiration lately. I feel like I can't come up with any of my own designs. My freehand skills aren't quite where I would like them to be, so I'd prefer to focus on that, but this idea popped into my head so I had to try it first.

First, the pictures!





I started off with For Audrey as a base, then taped off a section of Mount Royal by American Apparel. Very quickly, I swiped a thick coat of Nail Junkie over the top taped section (which I actually think was a dark blue Cosmetic Arts polish I found at Ross, not Mount Royal. But Mount Royal is on the bottom bit of nail).

I had some streaking and smearing, so I decided to cover that up with gold using Flower Girl by Sinful Colors. 




What do you think? Better with or without the striping?

I like them both a lot :)

Thanks for reading!!

    oh cool! I liked both with and without striping, but if I HAD to choose one, I'd say maybe without? Although I liked the colour combination with the gold too.

    I like them both but my favorite is the one with the striping! It kind of reminds me of Aladin. Lol.

It would make it easier to comment if you turned it off :)
