Striped ends

So, as you know, I bought some new nail polish, and I'm not sure i bought them because I wanted to do this design, or I did this design because i bought them. Anyway, I decided to do something with a neutral colour like gray, and then add something colourful.

I did the gray base, but when I got to painting the ends stripy, I needed something to get an even arch. I would have used the little sticky things that you get with french manicure-sets, but I didn't have any, so I got creative. I cut out pieces of paper the shape I wanted, and taped them onto my fingers. I managed to get the nailpolish on my thumbnail stuck to the paper, but fixed it decently...

 As I always do, I did a top coat to give it shine, and to make it stay on longer! ^^
