Ok, please don't judge me, this was basically my first attempt at doing anything with my nails other than painting a plain color. Those were also the only two colors I owned at the time. And my nails are horribly shaped. Other than my own shortcomings, I actually really enjoyed this style, especially once I got my fingers all cleaned up. I especially like this because I can wear it all mismatched like this, or I can choose just one of them to do all of my fingers (I've especially been eyeing the diagonal stripes to do again soon!).
The biggest thing I learned from this was to wait until the base color is COMPLETELY dry before putting scotch tape on, and even then it still sometimes peels. This is why my index finger and pinky look so splotchy--because I had to go back and fill in spots where the base color peeled off with the tape, and the brand of polish I was using wasn't very good. The lesson I keep learning with my nails is patience above all else.
