Digital Dozen shows Indie Love - Anna Gorelova Seagull Stamping

I'm not completely sold on the fact that Dance Legend polishes are considered 'indie', but seeing as Uma used an Anna Gorelova polish on Day 1, I'm going with it. Plus it means that for day four I'm still pulling mani's from the vault, albeit that this one is only two weeks old, its still a mani that I didn't specially prepare for this week.  

Later this year we are planning a big trip to the USA during September and October, which means I'm not going to be around for the 31 Day Challenge, so can you believe that I've already started preparing my manis so they can all be scheduled to post before I go.  That's the truth as to why I have such a bunch of manis in waiting, so it looks like I'll just have to prepare a whole bunch more now.

Today's mani actually took ages to do, all because each element was pretty much stamped individually (with the exception of the gold lines)  I used the Lina Feeling Shapely 09 plate. Plus I did paint all ten fingers like this, cause that's just how I roll. In fact it's pretty rare for me not to paint all ten nails with nail art so I can totally appreciate my efforts.





The base polish here is Anna Gorelova Seagull. I don't own many white-ish holos. I can actually only think of one other that I have with a linear holo like this, and that is Emily de Molly Crystal Crown. What they both have in common is a golden shimmer in addition to the linear holo flame. I'd say these two are quite similar, although I bet if I did a side by side comparison I'd find they are totally different. Either way, I love them both and they make a great base for nail art.

Trialling the CJS Stamping polishes and Lina feeling shapely 09

Let me start this post with an apology to two Aussie stockists for my shitty turn around time in showing the products here today. It's taken me 2-3 months to get this post done, despite the fact that I did these manis 2-3 months ago.  I also feel pretty shitty that I'm combining two products from two different stockists into these two manis, but then again, they are both great stamping products and sharing the information in one post probably makes the most sense for you readers.

So lets get into it.  For these manis I tried out two of the Clear Jelly Stamper stamping polishes.   #32 Blue and #28 Pretty Penny.  They are both nicely pigmented with a very strong shimmer.  Here I have stamped Blue over Picture Polish Swagger and below I have stamped Pretty Penny over Pretty Serious Peachie Poo. I got these stamping polishes from Mega Nail Supplies, who are the Australian suppliers for Clear Jelly Stamper.  My voucher for 15% off , which is valid for her entire range, include all the Clear Jelly Stamper products is - 15MORE

Now to the stamping plate that I used.  These two images are from the Lina Feeling Shapely 09 plate. I absolutely love the images on this plate, particularly all the options for these stamped gradients of sort.  There are lots of designs that can be used for reverse stamping and I'm a big fan of all the geometric design so the plate.  I did have some troubles using shimmer stamping polishes with some of the very fine lines on this plate.  They were just too fine to get the shimmer particles into and therefore they didn't pick up onto the stamper. For those ones I found stamping with Mundo de Unas worked best. I have another mani coming (one day) where I can show the resutls. I got this plate from Hit the Bottle.
