NailsLikeLace: The Digit-al Dozen does Gradients & Twinsie Tuesday 2-for-1: Textured Gradient + Floral Stamping

Today's mani is a twofer. I like combining themes whenever I can, so I did one look for both Digit-al Dozen Gradient Week and Twinsie Tuesday's "Gradient + Stamping" prompt.

I started with a textured gradient (somewhat of an ode to Amanda) using China Glaze Itty, Bitty & Gritty (pink), and Toe-tally Textured (orange). Over that I stamped a full-nail floral image from Born Pretty Store plate BPL-024 and their white stamping polish.

A solo shot of Itty, Bitty & Gritty before I added the orange just because I was really liking it solo and wore it that way for a day first.

For the stamping I used Lady Queen's clear stamper. Originally I wanted to do a comparison of this stamper to the ones from Born Pretty Store and to the original Clear Jelly Stamper, but I didn't see enough differences between them to dedicate a full post to them. I do want to mention this one is squishier than the original but all three pick up perfectly well with the same clarity to place the images. It isn't marshmallow squishy, but I do prefer that little bit of extra give it has. Of course if you shop, you can use my code EFLC15 for a discount!
