Roses and Stripes

I have done roses before (my Alice in Wonderland inspired nails), but I wasn't completely happy with them. Then, not long ago I watched one of many tutorials on YouTube on how to paint roses. this particular tutorial is by CTCCNails, who has a YouTube and blog; her technique made them super easy with minimal practice. Her video is titled 'Nail Art How To: Simple Roses - The Copy Cat Way!

 I didn't really have any inspiration for this design, so I just decided to use that rose technique and see what it turns into.



So here's how it turned out. I'm sure this sort of thing has been done before, but I really like it :D


Here's a close up of my ring finger with the roses, my thumb is much the same but I like this one best.


I feel like this is sort of a Vintage type design? Not sure :)
