Hogwarts School Tie

After seeing all the Harry Potter inspired manicures on the MUA NB (MakeupAlley Nail Board), I wanted to do something similar to commemorate the last HP film too. I haven't watched the movie and I'm not sure if I'll watch it. In fact, The Order of The Phoenix is the only one I've watched in the cinema. But I have read all the books and have decided to watch all the previous seven movies at home.

This design is rather simple and I used very thin tape to create the stripes. I think it can also be done with a striper brush. It's my first time trying a tape mani so please pardon me for the messy lines. This idea was inspired by the Hogwarts School tie and I wanted to have each house represented on a different finger. Can you guess which house is on which finger?

I did a lightning bolt on my thumb, though it doesn't really look like it. This design was learned from Nailside, who does awesome tape manicures and has tutorials on how to replicate them.
