Pink and Black Abstract

This mani was inspired by this gorgeous mani by LOVE4NAILS.  She is awesome!!!  Her mani is much more intricate than mine.  I decided to simplify because 1--my nails are shorter and 2--the more details you add the more opportunities to mess them up LOL! 
First I put on 3 coats of the glitter polish all over the nail.  Then I outlined where I wanted my black area with a black striper polish.  I then filled that area in with black polish.  Next I did the pink half French mani.  I used the black striper polish for the black stripes, and a dotting tool for the black dots.  Finally I added the silver stripe with silver striping polish.
