Stripes and Outlines

I wanted to do some Spring-y stripes and when I completed them I decided to experiment with some outlines. I wish I had made the outline skinnier. Which design do you like better, with or without the outline?

Outlines

Can we go over how much I absolutely love these outline nails? I think the design out the outline was popularized by Disco Nails, who is totally insanely amazing. The goal with the outline nail is to create a perfect circle or oval in the center of the nail (what I did in purple) using a minimal outline (I used black) to really make it pop. My nails are a bad shape for this design, it looks better on nails that have more rounded beds (mine are square-ish). But I LOVE this design. To spice it up a little, I added some dots and some gems. I really liked how this looked overall, but as you can see on my thumb, it isn't a great look on me. I can't wait to paint this on other people's nails though!
