I originally imagined the stripes to be a little wider and to have more pink showing than black, but after doing them freehand and completely failing at doing the stripes in a straight, uniform line, I decided to use striping tape which was really thin but produced really nice, crisp lines. It was a bit fiddly but I think I got better at it as I went on.
Basically I painted my nails pink, added the striping tape, painted black all over my nails and quickly pulled the striping tape off. You need to wait around 10 seconds before pulling the tape off just to make sure that the polish has dried enough that it won't run when you remove the tape and that it will stay in a nice, straight line.

Oh and the inspiration :-)
