Golden Oldie Thursdays: Stripes

Hello lovelies!

Happy Thursday! Today is my last day of work before I leave for school and I'm so happy :D Gah haha! Anyways, the Golden Oldie Thursday challenge is back today so let's get into it!

Here's what I used:

For this design I recreated something that I've done on the blog before (this Tri-Polish Challenge manicure) because I really loved the final outcome! I just changed the orientation of the stripes. Whoops haha. I did these by painting my base color, freehanding some vertical stripes, letting that dry, and then using striping tape marked off the horizontal lines!

Also, I have square nails again! I had a few breaks last week and decided that I was over having round nails, honestly I never really liked them to begin with....so I sacrificed some length to go back to square/squoval. I ended up repainting these last night because I wasn't happy with how they photographed the first time (I'm super happy with these photos not my poor clean up though!). I'm pretty far ahead on all manicures though so you'll be seeing round nails for a bit longer.

I've had these Revlon polishes for a while now, I used to buy Revlon like it was my job haha! But now I always pass over them, I don't know why. I have this weird connection in my head that Revlon equals old? Which makes no sense. It might be the bottle shape or the fact that the bottles at my job are all separated and dusty looking /: I like both of these colors though!

Here are more prompts for the challenge:

16th Jan - Stripes


Open 9 - 23 January!



A reminder of the rules :

* the polish you use should be at least one year old

* if you haven't been a polishaholic that long, you can use the oldest polishes you have

* the polish should be previously used, but if you're stuck, you could free a yearling from Mount Untried (seriously, some of mine are reaching puberty out there)


* you can use more than 1 polish as long as it fits the theme and the rules
