I find them super cute, what i do to get better and straighter stripes is: thin long brush and then fixing the lines with a thin brush with alcohol. Or putting tape on the nail and painting just inside, not on the tape. Or paint lines on a non sticky plastic, cure them and then just cut and stick them to the nail

Stripes are hard! I think the issue here is the lines are unevenly spaced a part, and they also vary in thick/thinness. You might try using nail striping tape! You can control the thickness of the lines much easier and ensure everything is spaced a part evenly before you start painting the stripes 😀

I saw a hack where they used a straight object like a credit card. I haven’t tried it but it looked ingenius!

Get a long thin brush, don’t pile on the polish and don’t do the whole stripe in one stroke if you’re getting shaky.
I think a huge part is just the uneven spacing, it might be worth using halves to guide you (one line in the middle, do your next two at the halfway point between the middle line and the edge of your nail, then place one at the halfway point between that line and the middle line, so on and so forth)
They’re very cute! They make me think of a coffee shop
