Here in England, it's definitely cooled off this week, but despite the chill in the air, I have been inspired by the AIS weekly challenge: With 108 votes the Sunday challenge for Sunday Aug. 17th is: Over a yellow base.
I really really wanted bumble bee nails with black stripes, but quickly realised, I am unable to stamp straight lines! So instead, I chose a hot summery stamp using the versatile cheeky plate jumbo C. I know that Barry M stamps well over lighter colours, so this was the perfect opportunity to show them off using a stamping gradient...I think they really compliment this fantastic yellow by rimmel.
Base colour: Rimmel 60 Seconds, 450 Get your shades on!
Stamp colours: The tips are Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine, 317 Satsuma blended into Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine, 407 Grapefruit
Stamping plate: Cheeky Jumbo Plate C

My only real disappointment with this mani is that I lined the stamp up with the tips of my nails. Now it is finished, I feel it would have looked so much prettier if I had stamped from my half moons. Then I could have avoided that strange yellow blank spot that is different on every nail. Ah well.
