Adventures in Stamping Challenge-Something I "Learnt" From AIS

Hello All.....gorgeous Sunday here, time for the challenge in AIS.  Today's mani is based on something that I "learnt" from the members of AIS.......there is soooo much that it is hard to  tell them all!!!
I learned from the basics up, I joined shortly after my "addiction" started  :)    I learned about base/top coats, cleaning up, cuticle care, different polishes , the polish addicts terminology,  sooooo much.
The thing that I love the most that I "learnt" was how to do a gradient mani, the member  most responsible for this was Laurie of Dressed Up Digits ,  she does the most Awesome gradients, check her out if you haven't already!!
Now down to business....The Cast of Characters....

 The base....

 Now the gradient....

 And the final product, which I LOVE........

Hope you like it, thanks for letting me ramble today, have a blessed day......Jackie
