I used the Sally Hansen insta-dri nail polishes for stamping when I first started using stamps. But, I agree with you that once you use stamping polishes, you’ll never go back haha.
I do the 2nd method - color in the design on the stamper... let it fully dry... put a coat of clear top coat on the nail, and stamp when it is almost dry -just tacky. i will also stamp onto several different stampers, using several colors, and sometimes let them dry overnight in a drawer, so theyre ready to slap on the next day. :) so fun!
The first advanced stamping design was actually so cute!!! Even if it wasn't perfect I think the idea of it with the negative space and stamping on a line is really cool! My fav has to be the shell one, Diamond Rain is probably the prettiest thing I've ever seen 😍😍😍
Extremely helpful!!! I hadn't been doing my nails for years (health issues so stuck in bed) so just getting back into them as i prepare to launch a crochet youtube tutorial channel, so i had no understanding of any of this stuff! Thanks so much!!💜💜💜
This is the first video I watched to find out about stamping...I had never heard of it until a few weeks ago (hahaha). Just tried it for the first time today too. I ordered a few things from Maniology, Hit the Bottle(Australia) & Meliney (Australia). Just strated getting back into nail polish after about a 20 year lapse!
I love stamping! Watching stamping nail art videos are one of the most soothing things in the world for sure. Perfect and relaxing vid way to end weekend! Also, if you put nail polish on the plate in one direction you'll get crisper and less bubbly image if you scrape in a different direction. Maybe you'll try it out! Cheers!
If you want to do reverse stamping without peel off base coat i think you can also use a sticky base coat. Maniology has one. I haven't tried it but I heard it works for reverse stamping.
I love nail stamping and I've been wanting to try some advance stamping techniques but wasn't sure the best way to do it but now I'm totally going to try that last one cause that seemed a lot easier than creating a decal and trying to put it on your nail. More please!
I have not did stamping in years but i took my old nail polish off before watching this video because i knew i was gonna find some new idea's i love videos like this 🙂
Before applying that nail sticker you made (over the gold), I would've applied a thin coat of that Orly bonder first on the nail. I find that really helps.
Hi there! You can also use a sticky base coat instead of the UNT (I use Orly Bonder) to stick on your reversed stamping! You’re going to be hooked now 😘
When placing any type of decal - whether it be made from a stamp, a water slider, or a sticker - I like to use my clear Maniology Monocle stamper for easy placement. You just plop the decal down (back side up facing you) on top of the stamper head, and then stamp it on your nails. It eliminates the fiddly bits of trying to get it straight! ;)
When I do advanced stamping, I always color in the design and let that dry by itself on the stamper, but instead of putting smudge free top coat on the stamper, I paint my nail with the top coat, but don't let it dry all the way. When you stamp the design onto your nail when the top coat isn't dry fully, it will stick. It's much easier and much faster than putting top coat on the stamp, letting that dry, and then peeling it off!!
I was going to say the same thing. Much easier to stamp directly onto the nail after painting on the stamp, than it is to make a decal. I love all these designs though. You always do a beautiful job and I love your videos!
Bahaha! I paused the video after the first advanced (or reversed) stamping nail and then saw you use the peel off base on the next one. Maniology also has a "sticky base coat" for that and the Orly Bonder works great too! :-)
I often use one of those silicone mats to do stamp art on and make decals (stamp onto a layer of topcoat to make it peelable). Basically, exactly what you do, but I have chronic pain which makes holding the stamper difficult so doing it on the mat is easier on me. I'll make all the decals I need, then apply then all at the same time to help prevent smudging too.
It's also useful sometimes with regular stamping. I was stamping mermaid scales on my nails and the lines were so thin they didn't want to stick properly until I applied a layer of a sticky base coat on my nails over my base colour, then they stamped like a charm.
Thank you for posting this video! I love that your just learning and still did the video. It still helps newbies like me because people comment on things that may work better😃
I was super keen on getting the nerdy nail plate because of the dice, but thanks to your closeups, i noticed how inaccurate the d4 (the pyramid shaped one) is, and that the d20 looked like it rolled a 2 (which unless i was doing naddpod themed nails, would be a lame thing). thanks for saving me a little money!
When revere stamping you can use a sticky base coat if you don't have a peel off base coat but you can also still stamp it on your nails without the extra step of another coat is polish place the stamp on your nails when your polish is still tacky just don't press hard
This was so much fun Kells, ty. Im very surprised youre "not too good" at advanced nail stamping bc i would have thought you have ALL nail art techniques down haha! I suck at stamping in general, i feel that if i scrape too many times it doesnt pick up the polish well, but i see you scrape more than once or just once and you get amazing results either way. Then again, you are using stamping NP whereas im using regular so im sure that has tons to do with it haha (i know the quality of the stamping plate and stamper have to do with it too haha). Stamping is so complicated imo! Maybe thats why ive never been into it... Also bc i feel its like a "cop out" or an easy way out haha i know sometimes its useful, but i hate channels that ONLY do stamping bc i feel thats not "actual nail art" and dont feel i learn anything from it. As hard as stamping is TO ME haha its supposed to be pretty "simple" so i feel i prefer the challenge of attempting to do everything by hand even if it can be frustrating at times and take way longer and the end result is not always good haha at least i feel proud and accomplished for trying sth new and different and potentially hard and complicated haha! That being said, Id love to see more stamping techniques or compilations in your channel for sure! You explain things so well and i def always feel i learn tons from you :) maybe stamping will finally grow on me the more i watch you do it haha
Haha noo definitely not an expert on all techniques, but I do love learning along with you guys and getting better at it together! I understand that sentiment on stamping being almost a "cheat" but after trying a bunch, I feel like there's definitely an art to getting it right, and also doing the right color and design combinations! I'll convert ya too :P
I am loving your videos I got the plate compilation with galaxy can't wait to see how it comes out. I'm new to stamping so I bought it and was like who is this? So glad I'm here thanks. I like all of these
@@KelliMarissa I'm so glad I found you too. So glad I make all these videos. Thank u So much I subscribed cause you do pretty dope stuff for nails! I have one question what do u do with the powders I bought one thinking I was getting polish and clueless on what to do
I’m excited to find this channel and looking forward to using stamps I’m hoarding and afraid to use. Question. I DIP. So with dip I have to either use gel (which I’m not a huge fan) or dip liquids. Buff activate and top coat, then stamp. IF I USE UNT, after my top coat will it peel off? My mani needs to last 2 weeks. So after My top coat I can buff before UNT if needed but then do I activate again before or after UNT and then after UNT do I do a base and maybe a clear dip powder coat, activate and top coat to seal it?
This video is heaven sent! I wanna do more of stamping but never have ideas 😅 and now that changed :P I love them all but I think the blue one with sea shells and purple one with clouds are my fave 😍😍 I have some peel of base coat at home so I might even try the last design with the trick you've mentioned 🤩🤩 hopefully it will be successful 🤞🏻🤗
Wow!!!! Thank you!!!! Is the no-smudge water based topcoat quick-drying? If not how long does it take? Definitely yes to more stamping videos!!!! Also does that Vantablack nail polish really have Stuart Semple’s Vantablack pigment? FYI I have B.M.C. stuff too 😂.
When you did your first advanced stamping where you formed a decal on the stamper, you should use a thicker top coat which makes the decal easier to handle. Your second advanced stamping technique is my fav. Where did you get such a fine brush? I need a finer one that I have.
Love stamping but my first experience with it was horrible! This video gives me hope lol. Question. Have you ever tried the brand trust fund beauty polish? I just ordered it in a lot and was curious.
It's definitely tough to get started but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot easier to manage haha! And no, I've never heard of it before! You'll have to tell me how it is :)
What the heck kind of acetone do you use??? I entirely gave up on acetone and just use lacquer thinner now (works like a dream). Every time I used acetone it would do almost nothing to clean, it made no sense.
Acetone and nail polish remover are actually two different products! So if you're getting nail polish remover, it's diluted with other stuff. I always buy 100% acetone and it works like a dream - every brand performs the same so it works as long as you're getting pure acetone!
@@KelliMarissa I used to buy pure acetone, but as I never could get it to work for cleanup I just switched to a cheap brand of nail polish remover that worked just as well for getting it off my nails, and switched to thinner for getting it off my skin.
The last technique can also be done without using a peeloff basecoat, you can spray your nails with hairspray or you can use foil glue. Both works great. ❤️
Ohhh I love the last manicure as my top pick!! It turned out so good!! 😍🕹🧡 I should test out if that technique works the same way with Holo Tao's Peely Base.
I find Orly Bonder works just as good for as a sticky base for stamping. I found Unt can peel up even over polish with to much water exposure. Plus, the Orly dries way faster than Unt does! Maniology does sell a sticky base for stamping, but I haven't tied it. I also use Orly Bonder for flakes and glitter. It works really well! Edit: To expand, I find sandwiching Unt between polish doesn't really let it dry fully and so even hours later, it can still be squishy. Not a fan!
You switched from the Cuccio base coat to the Orly Bonder base coat for this video. Was it because Orly Bonder is better for stamping or did you just feel like switching it up?
No particular reason, I just figured the ORLY one is a great base as well haha! I probably use the Cuccio one too much, I've got a drawer full of other brands LOL
When I'm doing advanced stamping or even working with my hand painted decals before I peel the image up I put a thin layer of either top coat or clear polish down on my nail so the image has something to stick to and the fresh polish also kind of "melts" the dry top coat helping it to stick better.
Could you pretty please do a swatch of the line “Sunday?” I have 06 and I LOVE it! Wondering if I should buy the rest and you always do a great job of swatching. 😃
Omg, I just LOVED this video! Guuurl, it's so amazing! I needed it in my life :D And now I want to buy a stamper and plates... Thanks a lot ;)) :P Last design was just epic
Maniology has free starter kits where you pay like $7.95 for shipping and get 2 plates, Stamper and scraper, and 2 mini polishes. If you liked the last design she did, it’s from Rebel Yell. One of my favorite plates!
Did you have any issue with the peel off base making the stamping peel off? I've only seen people doing that technique with a sticky base coat (like Orly Bonder), never a peel off base. Also, I was randomly wondering the other day if you could use gel polish for stamping to avoid the issue of it drying to quickly - do you know if it would work?
Lol it was definitely game changing when I learned about using a sticky base on the nail for reverse stamping too, I just use the Orly bonder base coat because it also creates a sticky layer. Awesome video! I look forward to seeing you practice reverse stamping 😊
Kelli, American Classics YELLOW STOPPER works likes a peel off base coat [though not its intended use]. That said, it also provides that "tacky" surface for advanced stamping. Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
I just love your stamping videos, and your site. I'm just wondering if you have a video on your routine for keeping your cuticles looking so perfect? Thx for all of your videos! 🙂❤
Loved this video. Do more nail stamping.....I really enjoy nail stamping too. Check out on FB Nail Stamping Sisterhood. I get great ideas from there as well at Maniology's FB page. Have fun creating!
Hey Jenny, it’s definitely tricky to get started. My top tips are make sure your stamping plate isn’t cold, work quickly, and use stamping polishes because those are the easiest to work with!
It also depends on the quality of your stamping plate. I have some plates that pick up crappy polish perfect, and others that are patchy no matter which stamping polish or stamper I use. It's trial and error. And a lot of practice 😅
I have moyou stamping plates and also moyou stamper. I also got a born pretty stamper too but yet to try it. Maybe I'm not applying enough pressure when I press on my nail. Does the scraper make a difference? I've heard metal ones aren't good but I have 2 plastic ones where one is quite solid and the other is a bit more flimsy. I've yet to try the flimsy scraper but it's so frustrating when it comes out patchy
Try scraping the plate as few times as possible and then use a light touch picking it up from the plate with the stamper. If you press too firmly on the plate it can create holes in the design. Best of luck 😊
Good job but I have a couple of tips (that may have been said below, not sure) that I think you might find good to try. First one, put on your polish and let it dry. Then put on a coat of Orly Bonder base coat. It has a tacky finish to it so if you are doing advanced stamping and your image has dried on your stamper, it will transfer every time! The benefit of doing this versus a peel off base coat is just that, you don't have a peel off base coat in the middle of your nail art. Second tip, I know you said you like to just press onto the stamp image to pick it up but if you use a slight rolling motion (a light touch too), I believe your image will pick up better. Give it a try! Oh, and p.s., Maniology has a sticky stamping polish which looks remarkably similar to Orly Bonder but I haven't tried it. Maybe they will send you some for review! Thanks for another great video. Rose
In all my stamping groups, what you’re calling “advanced stamping”, we always refer to it as “reverse stamping”. In reverse stamping, you need to put down a layer of either top coat or a sticky base coat on top of your mani, before laying down your decal or reverse stamped image. That’s why you had the issues you did of it not sticking. You also don’t need to peel the decal off the stamper when you do this, you simply stamp it on the tacky nail surface, as you would a normal stamp. Much easier!
I really need to pick up some stamping products this looks like so much fun!! I had some years ago but they weren’t the best quality and the stamper wasn’t clear so I didn’t really have the best results 🤷🏻♀️
This tutorial was great! More stamping please! I keep buying more stamping polishes and plates!! It's so much fun!!! Thank you for keeping us entertained! :)
hi! im new to your channel:) how much time do you let your base color dry for it to not dent? and what about a full manicure (base, color, top coat)? ty!!💕💕
I find that the Maniology top coat peels on me in a day if I don't wait until it dries and then cover it with another top coat. It's weird but I use it first over the stamped design, wait 2-3 minutes, and then go over the design again with another top coat to seal.
Thank-you for your videos! I love the way the nail art looks. You make it look so simple! Now only to practice as I spent all afternoon trying! Epic fail!
Loved this! I finally tried stamping and it's awesome 😄. I've been missing out. My favorite design was the second one cause that is exactly what I want to do when I repaint my nails this weekend. I even got out my vantablack polish to test it out on my silicone mat 😆
Boo ya! Stay safe, everyone! Stay in, do some nail stamping.
It’s the best quarantine activity! Haha
Will do love stamping
@@KelliMarissa Yeah and art that's my opinion though! :) have a great day

15:31 reminded me of when you painted your nails without your glasses and painted the white on only one half of your nail!
LOL. Memories....
Leeli Wingfeather she wears glasses?
@@Avantisnailss oops-i meant contacts! she does have glasses but wears her contacts all the time.
Leeli Wingfeather oh ok
The first advanced stamping design was actually so cute!!! Even if it wasn't perfect I think the idea of it with the negative space and stamping on a line is really cool! My fav has to be the shell one, Diamond Rain is probably the prettiest thing I've ever seen 😍😍😍
You did great! Ever since I discovered stamping I do it all the time. It's so easy but looks like you spent a lot of time on your nails.

Before applying that nail sticker you made (over the gold), I would've applied a thin coat of that Orly bonder first on the nail. I find that really helps.
Yes! This has worked for me. The ORLY bonder creates enough stickiness for the double stamped design to stay put
That product is wonderful.
Okay but like I LOVE these compilation type of videos from her ! 😍
Yes!!! Been waiting for this, so happy you did it!!!
And it makes me want to do even more haha!
Thanks for showing when things didn't work out perfectly to plan. I felt so comforted by knowing it's not just me. :D
Oh yeah haha stamping is never totally perfect for me lol! Or it's ONE awesome nail and the rest of them are ehhh LOL

Are these gel poishes or normal nail polish
Normal. Nail stamping is typically done with normal polishes, especially at the time this video was filmed.

No particular reason, I just figured the ORLY one is a great base as well haha! I probably use the Cuccio one too much, I've got a drawer full of other brands LOL
When I'm doing advanced stamping or even working with my hand painted decals before I peel the image up I put a thin layer of either top coat or clear polish down on my nail so the image has something to stick to and the fresh polish also kind of "melts" the dry top coat helping it to stick better.
I love the last one! Going to buy that stamping plate as well.
Could you pretty please do a swatch of the line “Sunday?” I have 06 and I LOVE it! Wondering if I should buy the rest and you always do a great job of swatching. 😃
Omg, I just LOVED this video! Guuurl, it's so amazing! I needed it in my life :D And now I want to buy a stamper and plates... Thanks a lot ;)) :P
Last design was just epic
Maniology has free starter kits where you pay like $7.95 for shipping and get 2 plates, Stamper and scraper, and 2 mini polishes. If you liked the last design she did, it’s from Rebel Yell. One of my favorite plates!
Thank you! I just started doing nail stamping. Definitely going to try some of these techniques!
Did you have any issue with the peel off base making the stamping peel off? I've only seen people doing that technique with a sticky base coat (like Orly Bonder), never a peel off base.
Also, I was randomly wondering the other day if you could use gel polish for stamping to avoid the issue of it drying to quickly - do you know if it would work?
I need a clear stamper. I have an old purple stamper from many years ago. Hard to line up nicely.
just bought your galaxy plate, it’s super cute. can’t wait to tag ya! thank you!
Ahh yay I can't wait to see it!
Woahhhh they're all so cute 😍
Thank youuuu!
Perfect timing! I've really been wanting to use my stamping plates but have been struggling for inspiration. Thanks for the cool ideas. :)
Ooh yay always happy to inspire :) :)
Lol it was definitely game changing when I learned about using a sticky base on the nail for reverse stamping too, I just use the Orly bonder base coat because it also creates a sticky layer.
Awesome video! I look forward to seeing you practice reverse stamping 😊
Kelli, American Classics YELLOW STOPPER works likes a peel off base coat [though not its intended use]. That said, it also provides that "tacky" surface for advanced stamping. Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
I just love your stamping videos, and your site. I'm just wondering if you have a video on your routine for keeping your cuticles looking so perfect? Thx for all of your videos! 🙂❤
Loved this video. Do more nail stamping.....I really enjoy nail stamping too. Check out on FB Nail Stamping Sisterhood. I get great ideas from there as well at Maniology's FB page. Have fun creating!
hey kelli! do you have any idea why my stamping sucks? whenever I do it, my designs are always patchy. help!!!
Hey Jenny, it’s definitely tricky to get started. My top tips are make sure your stamping plate isn’t cold, work quickly, and use stamping polishes because those are the easiest to work with!
It also depends on the quality of your stamping plate. I have some plates that pick up crappy polish perfect, and others that are patchy no matter which stamping polish or stamper I use. It's trial and error. And a lot of practice 😅
I have moyou stamping plates and also moyou stamper. I also got a born pretty stamper too but yet to try it. Maybe I'm not applying enough pressure when I press on my nail. Does the scraper make a difference? I've heard metal ones aren't good but I have 2 plastic ones where one is quite solid and the other is a bit more flimsy. I've yet to try the flimsy scraper but it's so frustrating when it comes out patchy
Try scraping the plate as few times as possible and then use a light touch picking it up from the plate with the stamper. If you press too firmly on the plate it can create holes in the design. Best of luck 😊
Good job but I have a couple of tips (that may have been said below, not sure) that I think you might find good to try. First one, put on your polish and let it dry. Then put on a coat of Orly Bonder base coat. It has a tacky finish to it so if you are doing advanced stamping and your image has dried on your stamper, it will transfer every time! The benefit of doing this versus a peel off base coat is just that, you don't have a peel off base coat in the middle of your nail art. Second tip, I know you said you like to just press onto the stamp image to pick it up but if you use a slight rolling motion (a light touch too), I believe your image will pick up better. Give it a try! Oh, and p.s., Maniology has a sticky stamping polish which looks remarkably similar to Orly Bonder but I haven't tried it. Maybe they will send you some for review! Thanks for another great video. Rose
I love stamping!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁❤❤❤❤ this is my favorite channel!!!!!!!
In all my stamping groups, what you’re calling “advanced stamping”, we always refer to it as “reverse stamping”. In reverse stamping, you need to put down a layer of either top coat or a sticky base coat on top of your mani, before laying down your decal or reverse stamped image. That’s why you had the issues you did of it not sticking. You also don’t need to peel the decal off the stamper when you do this, you simply stamp it on the tacky nail surface, as you would a normal stamp. Much easier!
I really need to pick up some stamping products this looks like so much fun!! I had some years ago but they weren’t the best quality and the stamper wasn’t clear so I didn’t really have the best results 🤷🏻♀️
This tutorial was great! More stamping please! I keep buying more stamping polishes and plates!! It's so much fun!!! Thank you for keeping us entertained! :)
It's really such a fun hobby (within the nail art hobby lol) to get into, I'm obsessively collecting stamping plates toooo!!
hi! im new to your channel:) how much time do you let your base color dry for it to not dent? and what about a full manicure (base, color, top coat)? ty!!💕💕
The stamping videos are my favorite.
I was wondering about a comparison of gel stamping polish vs regular stamping polish. Nice work!
I find that the Maniology top coat peels on me in a day if I don't wait until it dries and then cover it with another top coat. It's weird but I use it first over the stamped design, wait 2-3 minutes, and then go over the design again with another top coat to seal.
Do you know if your galaxy plate willl be restocked again? My first manilogy order will be her tomorrow!
I like how the gradient one has spots missing, it looks cute :D
Ahh I was so annoyed at that one LOL
Great Video as always, I just ordered the starter kit from maniology and can't wait till it gets here!
If you apply the bonder to the top of the mail before you place your sticker it’ll help with holding it in place.
Thank-you for your videos! I love the way the nail art looks. You make it look so simple! Now only to practice as I spent all afternoon trying! Epic fail!
Haha! Trust me I spend a lot of time failing at stamping before I succeed!
you could have used the Orly rubberized base as a sticky coat for your last design , as well.
Loved this! I finally tried stamping and it's awesome 😄. I've been missing out. My favorite design was the second one cause that is exactly what I want to do when I repaint my nails this weekend. I even got out my vantablack polish to test it out on my silicone mat 😆
