yellow - Lucy's Stash

Hello there :)

It's Summer Challenge Day so it's my second post of the day. The theme is Sunshine and I really like the result. I didn't want to paint sun or anything obvious like that so I combined two techniques - gradient colours and stamping.

I've used China Glaze Sun-Kissed, Orange You Hot? and OPI The Color Of Minnie for the gradient base and Essence White stamping polish and BM plate RA-106 for the stamping.

These are the girls participating in the Summer challenge, Check out their blogs and see their interpretation of the 'Summer Sunrise' theme:

Hello lovelies!

Hope you're having a lovely sunny day. It's not that often we have lovely hot and sunny day here in England so later on I'm off sunbathing at the beach!

For today's Summer Challenge I've chosen China Glaze Sunshine Pop because what is more summery colour than bright yellow?

Sunshine Pop - proper yellow colour with subtle shimmer. It applied nicely and I'm wearing two coats. However I feel like three coats would be better, I could still see my nail line a bit. The polish dried a bit slower. This shade comes from Electro Pop collection for Spring 2012.
