I saw this type of paint job done on another blog. Honestly - they did a much better job than I did. Check out the inspiration - http://www.thenailasaurus.com/2013/07/nonoo-resort-2014-inspired-nail-art.html. They had striping tape and used different polished for the lines. I did a gradient in purple, let it dry and then stamped the white lines. I think the white lines are a bit thick and the gradient isn't that obvious.
Maybe a gradient between two different colors, not just light to dark purple would be better with this stamping. It still looks okay enough that I won't remove it right away. I did an accent nail of a silver halo. Then, while removing the white glue (which I use around my nail for quick and easy clean up) I nicked my thumb. I was not about to start over (base coat, dry, gradient, dry, stamping, top coat).
So I improvised and put a quick coat of the halo on top. It looks really cool. And by some source of magic it actually makes the purple gradient stand out more. I will try this look again, but maybe wait until I get striping tape. I also have enough purples to do each line a different polish.
