Solution to I Came Across a Japanese Rose Garden

Authors: Erin Rhode and Jason Juang

Each of the grey bands on the finger nails contains a link to cartoon image. Each cartoon illustrates a color in the OPI nail polish catalogue. Using the nail polish color to colorize the bands, each finger nail can now be treated as a resistor with colored bands. Using the resistor color code and mapping the resulting numbers to the alphabet gives the phrase "CAMRYS AND TERCELS." Both are TOYOTAS.
