Stripey Palm Trees!

I think I saw a design similar to this while browsing the world wide web, but can't remember where! (If anyone has any idea, let me know so I can give credit where it's due!) I wanted to use the palm tree image from Konad M29 again, and started with a base of coloured stripes, painted over white to make them "pop". If you want to know what any of the colours are, just ask in the comments!

I added the stripes using Claire's Black Nail Art Pen, and stamped the palm trees using Konad Black Special Polish:




Let me know what you think guys! We also have a lodger this week, he is very hairy and smelly and MENTAL. But we love him.
Jack, our temporary mutt. (Or Jacqueline, when he's naughty. Which is ALL THE TIME.)

    Hi Emily - I hope you are well!

    I'm back from my blogging break so thought I'd swing by to say hello. Loving the striped palm trees - I've never used Konad but would be interested to have a play - is it easy to use?
