It’s stripes today in the Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge.

There are prompts ahead in the challenge for a number of colours, so where I can, I want to try not to use those specified colours in the styles challenges. So I decided – at first – to go with a red, black and white striped manicure.

When I’d pulled out all my old polishes – and I’m attempting to used untried polishes, even though that isn’t really what the challenge is about – I found I had two complementary greys and a black, so I dumped the red and settled on a gradient striped look instead.

I started with a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, which is neither old nor untried! Then I used the medium sized straight Nail Vinyls to section the nails into three, before painting in Collection 2000 Angel Wings (lightest grey), Beauty UK Slate (darker grey), and MUA Shade 2, which is black.

To be sure it wouldn’t smear when I top-coated it, I left it to dry for a good hour.

I really enjoyed wearing this manicure. It’s very “me”.

Here are the manicures from everyone else that is participating:
