It took me two days to complete this look. I started with the Milani polish as my base and forgot to apply top coat. I brought up the base color while sponging on the gradient. Whoops. It was already 10pm so I reluctantly removed my first attempt and reversed the polishes. I used the SOPI as my base color, top coated it and let it set overnight.

Tonight, I completed the sponge gradient and applied the stamping, WITH MY CREATIVE STAMPER AND A THINNER METALLIC POLISH! Last post I speculated I might have the hang on this new stamper. I think I have! Wooo!

Anyways, I hope you like my simple sponge gradient and some coffee stamping on top! (Why haven’t I used this plate before? I loves it!)

I just have simple stamping as I am just playing around with my new Creative Stamper. The learning curve on this stamper is extremely big! Granted, I love hard, smaller  stampers and never had luck with squishy stampers like this one.

When I do get the stamping right, though, it is easier to pick up the image and so simple to get on the nail. I used to roll the Konad stamper over my nail. I had to wait for the base polish to COMPLETELY and UTTERLY dry or it would smear and sometimes I messed up the position of the image.

But, UGH! It is taking me so long to get used to the squishy stamper! I want to grab my trusty Konad stamper but then I say “No! You will get used to the new type! Remember when you first started stamping??”

Truth.
