Day 12: Stripes

Ooops! Looking over my last few posts I can see that the majority of the polishes I have showcased have been dark, . I do have lighter colours in my collection, I swear! 

Funnily enough, the inspiration for this mani came to me whilst watching tv the other night. Remember the old style popcorn boxes, with the red striped boxes? I saw one of these, and wanted the same style of stripes, but with pastel colours.



The colours from left to right: OPI "Planks A Lot", OPI "Sparrow Me The Drama", China Glaze "Sea Spray", Sally Hansen "Mellow Yellow", Revlon "Minted".  



I used my finest striping brush to hand paint the white lines (using Chi Chi White). I know scotch tape or even striping tape is better to achieve straight lines, but I don't have the patience to wait until my base coat has dried completely. Hahaha..

Hope you like it :)
