Pink Wednesday: Pink Panic!

Yay! It's Wednesday! And you know that On Wednesdays We Wear Pink so today's mani features another polish salvaged from the 'to go' bag: BYS Pink Panic. This shade is SO bright and clean that I wanted to pair it with something equally as in-your-face - enter China Glaze Happy Go Lucky. Both stamped in BYS Black Satin to take a liiiiittle bit of the edge off, but both these polishes are so intense, nothing really takes the edge off! The designs are from fauxnad plates m60 and m64.
I don't know why but I've always loved pink and yellow together. Maybe it's because I'm a 90's kid and didn't have to put up with the pairing through the 80's?
Do you think it works? I'm so proud of my stamping on this mani - it truly feels like I really am improving! Apart from my impatience to top coat and the resulted smearing, all of my stamps were pretty darn perfect this time! It's a little bit satisfying =P.
I spotted this little guy peaking out around a leaf on our Swan plants along the driveway. Over the late Summer we looked after / 'raised' Monarch butterflies from egg through to adulthood. It is now definitely Winter but the Monarchs were so late in their cycle that we still have 5 chrysalises waiting to emerge! They haven't been getting enough sun or warmth to actually come out, but they still look like they might any day. As for this guy, his egg must have been laid really late in the season and he's only just grown big enough for us to see him. He's nom nom nomming away and I hope it's not in vain, because the temperature's definitely dropping every day and he won't have long to spin his little cocoon! Maybe I'll move him inside...
He's so cute!! I love little Monarch caterpillars - I've learnt so much about them over the last Summer. We had heaps of them, and they turn into such stunning butterflies! It must be so confusing to be a caterpillar, waking up one day to discover body parts you've never had before, like a tongue! How weird would it be to wake up and suddenly have a tongue? Anyway, I think he's cute and I'll be keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't ice over anytime soon!


What do you think about pink and yellow together? Love it / hate it / think it should just not happen? Thanks for stopping by, lovelies! =D
