GOT Polish Challenge - Stripes

Hello everyone! Scarlett is finally back at school but now I'm ill! Really can't catch a break at the moment :( However, on the upside my laptop problems have been solved with an early birthday present of a Chromebook! I'm a total Google/Android geek so saying that I'm excited is probably a little bit of an understatement, and playing with all the apps is keeping me occupied until I'm back on form!

Anyway, back to the nails :) My polish hoarding started with my Jessica collection in 2009. Up to that point I constantly wore acrylics and my natural nails were ruined. A friend suggested Phenomen Oil and Restoration base coat and I never looked back. I probably have about 60 or 70 Jessica polishes even though I haven't bought any (apart from replacements) in over a year, but I love them all.

I picked some bright neon colours as I've decided I've had enough of winter several months early - Purple Burst, Blue Blast and Diva On The Dunes. I taped wide stripes over a white base and then added the brights. The formula has suffered a bit with age on the blue and pinky purple but I got there without too much trouble and finished with Seche Vite.





This mani was a little trip down memory lane for me - not the best time of my life but I'm happy to say that things are lot better now. If nothing else I can see that I've always had good taste in polish!
