Here are my stripey nails for the Golden Oldie Thursday Challenge 🙂 After all the pink flowers from my last post I needed something simple and not too complicated!
GOT polish Stripes
I started off with a thin coat of silver polish from Eyeko just on the top half of my nail, when it was dry I used some striping tape to mask off where I wanted the stripes to be, then I applied a thick coat of the vamp polish and removed the tape before it dried!
It’s so easy! the only fiddly bit was lining up the tape! I really should use my striping tape more! 😀
Eyeko polish
Look at how old those bottles are! 😀 The silver one was the first metallic/chrome polish I ever brought I think it was from Superdrug! The vamp polish joined my collection a couple of years later, it’s a blue black, and there’s nothing nasty about it!

Thank you! 🙂 I used the tape to mask the stripes rather than sticking it to my nail, But if I want to get tape to stay I add a thick coat of top coat over the top! 🙂

Hoarder? More power to you!
I too hate it when people throw away older polish. There are so many old beauties that just need a few drops of thinner and they’re ready to turn heads again.
