Essie Knockout Pout with an unknown stamp?

Hello world! Feels like I haven't updated in forever... I was in South Carolina for the past three days at my cousin's wedding, but it looks like Mama has held down the fort in my absence!

It's a blistering 90 degrees in Indy today, and the pool in our complex is closed due to a drain recall...which is a bummer but at the same time perhaps good because I got ROASTED in South Carolina! But with these temperatures and no pool, what else is there to do but do my nails?

I started with three coats of Essie's Knockout Pout which is your typical, run of the mill neon pink. It is pretty though, I just wish neons weren't so difficult to work with. I didn't worry about it being a little streaky because I knew I was going to stamp over it, so please excuse that in these pictures. I also didn't use top coat over the pink.

I then stamped over Knockout Pout with Sally Hansen's Insta Dry in Cinna-snap using plate m78, which is the.....line? Branch? plate? I don't even know what the image is. Haha

It looks nice except that I smeared it because I never learn and I tried to apply top coat too soon after :( So I really like how this looks minus that, but that means I might be redoing my nails later tonight....gotta catch up from all the posting days I missed anyway ;)

Also...look at the adorable-ness that kept bugging me while I was trying to do these nails...

Hope everyone is staying cool!
