Caution: Extremely Yellow Nails (NOTD: Claire's Daisy + bm20)

I always kind of pat myself on the back when I come up with a clever title LOL.  But this did remind me of caution tape, although that wasn't the original inspiration.  Base color is the bright yellow Claire's Daisy, stamping done with Black special polish & Bundle Monster plate bm20:

I only used part of the image, and it came out a bit crooked ... actually a bit straighter on my right hand.  But still bright, which was the point, and fun.  Tolerable for one day LOL.  Thanks for reading =)

NOTD: PHD Summer Sponging Challenge (Entry 2 - Ocean Waves)

You can check out my first entry for this week's challenge HERE, and PHD's Challenge Gallery HERE.

My second entry puts me in mind of ocean waves, and is also done with all BB Couture colors. When I looked at the collection together, I immediately gravitated towards these colors to work with together.  I started with a base color of Kiwi Margarita.  This is 3 coats, I would have done a 4th if I were wearing it alone:

I sponged to the middle with Blue Bahama, and the tips with Adios Mo Fo (which is one of my favorite names of the collection!).  Stamping is done with Color Club Worth the Risque & Bundle Monster plate bm20:

Again, I like this but there are a few things I might change.  Except with this one I can't quite put my finger on what they are LOL!  Part of it is I think for once I would actually prefer the stamping a little more transparent, so it looks less silver & the background color came through more.  But overall I think this stamp does give the look of ripples I was going for.  I did have to double stamp, I used the full nail design what I think would be considered sideways (since BM images are thinner than Konad & not wide enough for my nail) & 2 was perfect to cover all my nails.

So, that's it for this week - can't wait to see what new challenge Monday brings =)  Thanks for reading.
