Down Under Dusk Stamping

I loved Australian Alabaster, but it was just begging to be stamped on! Had to do it :)  To keep it in the family I chose Down Under Dusk, wasn't sure if it was going to stamp but did like a dream. As the name implies it is a lovely dusky pink with a gold shimmer.  I also used my new XL stamper I purchased from Llarowe. It has a a lovely squishy stamper rubber which is huge. It's so squishy that your nail just smushes into the pad without having to roll. The overall effect was like printed wall paper. I chose to do the thumb and ring fingers in a different stamp and the left and right hands were different.This was my first use also of the new Cheeky stamping plates! I had no troubles using the plates but felt like my right hand was better than my left :)

You'll have to excuse the nail tip wear, I had this mani on for 3 days before I photographed it. I wasn't sure it was photo worth actually as it's not super flashy or anything. Definitely falls in the subtle stamping category! I loved the new XL stamper it was super easy to transfer the stamps onto the nails. The only issue I had was it picked up fluff an hair quite easily, LOL. 

Which hand do you prefer or is this look not really your thing?

    1. I did a CP through one of the nail polish groups or if you have an American friend to post them to you, you can still get these online. Let me know if you want the address of the online stores :)
