Not exactly sloppy seconds

This was my second official full manicure with my stamping. I used another swirl design because swirls are a bit more forgiving as I haven't got it down to perfection just yet. I also had to use the small end of my Konad stamper because if you've read my posts, my large end was defective and I haven't recieved my other one yet. I think it turned out decent.
I have to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this base coat. It's called Avante Green and it's from Maybelline Color Show's Fall 2012 limited edition line. It's very hard to find and was so happy when I lucked upon it. The whole line is sold out almost everywhere. The pic doesn't do it justice. It's a duochrome and looks like a grass green upon first glance but then has flashes of yellow, gold, chartreuse, and teal. Awesome. It almost heart my heart to stamp over it and even considered leaving it alone...but...my stamping plates were calling to be used.
I let my boyfriend pick out the base color (he chose the colors last time too, I just forgot to mention it). He said green, although that's what he said last time. And I suspect it could be what he says every time since that's his favorite color. Ha. But I had just got this polish and was itching to use it anyway :)

What I used: CND Sticky Base Coat, 2 coats of Maybelline Color Show in Avante Green, stamp color was China Glaze in Wagon Trail, and Seche Vite Topcoat
Plate: Bundle Monster 2011, BM-201
