Gabby! Finally OMG 😁❤️❤️😍 Welcome! I started stamping in 2010, and have about 400 plates now. I absolutely love stamping - personally and on clients. You only need a line of polish on the image, no need to cover the design on the plate completely. Will make your polish reach a little longer and waste less. Scrape and work a tad faster. The reason why your circle was missing was because it's a large spaced image, sometimes scrapers are too soft and will scrape down into the image, they also dry a little faster so you have to work faster too. This is why it's good to have a selection of different hardness cards. Credit cards are amazing for bigger open designs and more flexible ones great for line art. Lint rollers and scotch tape is your best friend. You can clean both stampers and your cuticles with them for the leftover and excess stamped design. Don't let your base coat dry completely, you can rock your stamp back and forth, but it will not stick as well on a complete dry or matte surface. Have a little tack or have a travel hairspray handy and spray just a little on the nail, a clear tacky coat of polish or even transfer foil even and the stamp will transfer much easier. Lastly, go get the free starter kit with maniology ! 😍😍 go.maniology.com/forever-young - and sign up for the ambassador programme! 😘❤️❤️❤️ I can't wait to see more stamping from you! You did so fantastic with these manis, but you always do. I love your aesthetic 😍 Lots of love! 😘❤️Xx
@@GabbyAngelique You're right, it can seem so overwhelming!! 😍 You're most welcome, thank you for your always good content and beautiful personality ❤️😘Xx
For two years now, basically all my mani's are stamped, I've collected about 50 stamping plates and I absolutely love the technique!! Certain designs are definitely more difficult than others, my niece was born saturday, and I stamped her name on my nails, I used a cute font which was pretty much impossible to stamp. Not one letter came out fully correct in one go and I had to re-stamp parts of the letters on every nail.
I'm sure you'll get lots of tips from everyone so I won't overload you with a bunch, but I will tell you getting a sticky, fabric roller, the to to get lint off, works great for cleaning your stamper, never use acetone on it. Tape is great for cleanup around your fingers, and invest in lots of different routes of stampers. The different shapes and squishy-ness of the various brands will pick up different types of stamps. You did GREAT. I love the modern plate you bought. I'm off to go look for it. 😊❤
Yeah I didn't either until I watched another video, but you can use regular scotch tape to clean off the stamper and not just clean off the excess design the stamper picks up. In one of the other videos I've watched, it's suggested to use scotch tape to clean off the stamper before using, just so the stamper is clean of any dust/hair on the stamp pad. Hopes this helps with your future use.
The rectangle is meant to make ombres, because some people have issues with the sponge method. I LOVE using Maniology stuff! I've never used soap on my stampers, I just use tape or a lint roller to get the stamping polish off. Welcome to the addiction LMAO
ooh okay that makes sense lol I really thought it was for a super long nail or something.. but wow I didn’t even think of a lint roller! Thank you I’m glad to be here 😂
Thanks Gabby, I went through every one of your problems when I started. I know someone who uses a small lint roller to clean the stamper head. Works great.
Small tip, when picking up strips or lines go straight down don’t roll cause it makes your lines wiggle. Hope that helps. Keep practicing Gabby you will figure it out.😊
Wow I’m buying this rn, my at home manis take a lot time bc I do it all by hand which is fun but this looks amazing. I always thought it would be hard but you made it seem easy!
I've done stamping for a few years now and love it. You can also use less of the stamping polish. You don't have to cover the while thing. 1/3 - 1/2 depending on the size and amount of grooves. When you scrape the excess polish will fill the rest.
I have also recently discovered stamping so I appreciate your struggles! I have grown addicted to it because I have zero artistic ability (unlike yourself) but I can still make some cool manis using stamping. Love the video ♥️👏🏼
Cool designs! Stamping is my fav technique 😊❤. With time I found out that sometimes it's better to press the stamper against the plate gently instead of rolling it, especially when you have very geometric forms that need to be straight or rounded perfectly. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
Hi Gabby! I'm so glad you decided to try stamping and share your beginner's journey with us. I was going to request this method since I started my own stamping journey a few months ago, but thought it was too "basic" for a talented artist like you 😅 FYI - you can get mini stamper heads for individual designs from Aliexpress. They're mounted on the end of what looks like a pen essentially, so they're easy to handle! Much love ❤️
@Gabby Angelique - thanks for doing a video on stamping. It looks like you were having the same type of issues I was having as a beginner. But I'm learning from other videos and found some other types of techniques using stamping plates and stampers. I've been practicing and I think I'm starting to get the hang of using stamping plates/stampers. FYI, I use regular scotch tape to clean off the excess on the stamper and acetone to clean the plate. Also, I'm using Twinkle T stamping polish and Born Pretty stamping polish; just in case you want to try different brands of stamping polish. Do you think you will do a video on foiling?? I starting to get the hang of using foiling as well as stamping.
@@GabbyAngelique Yes, the transfer foil. I used it over the weekend and I like the way it turned out. I wish I could take a pic and show you what I created.
@@sonyafjenkins9493 I think I may have some transfer foils if not I’ll get some to use in a future video! Next time tag me on ig@gabbysnailart so I can see!
@@GabbyAngelique I looked you up on IG and sent you a message with photos of my nails using foil. Let me know your thoughts. My first attempted, think I did pretty awesome,except for the smudging of the nail stickers from Shein.
I absolutely LOVE stamping!!! Maniology is one of my fave brands and the square can be used for creating a gradient or smoosh mani. Thank you so much for using two of my fave plates. I also recommend BM XL 501 when it comes back in stock!
thank you for this! I realized I was scraping too much off and the polish was drying too quickly. I tried stamping immediately after watching this and I got it to work!
All the designs are beautiful, I really like stamping, you can have a gorgeous design without having to freehand ( your freehand work is fantastic😊) great choice for the stamp, the first stamp I had didn’t have mirror😬 that wasn’t fun lol. Looking forward to your next vid😊
Orly Bonder Base provides a tacky base for stamping. So, you can take your time cleaning the stamper or filling in the designs before transferring it to your nail. Just paint the bonder bade over your background color and let it dry then stamp away💁♀️
Hi tfs.i know this is awhile ago so I hope u c this.was just wondering what color you were wearing when u stamped all the lines on ur finger? Luv the look
Hi Gabby. There’s lots of tips on stamping so may I suggest you watch some videos - there’s tons out there. Maniology also has lots of videos including one for the French Mani plate - NOT a beginner plate. LOL. One or two videos will give you enough basics to get you moving quickly into stamping. Love your free hand designs. You are very talented. I enjoy all your videos.
I’ll have to check out maniologys videos! also you guys gave me so many tips in the comments I feel like I learned so much already lol and thank you ❤️
During the pandemic last year,,I purchased tons of plates and also have maniology polish and plates and even purchased a cute case for the plates lollll girl I was ready and just couldn't get it right at all so I put them away and went on to other nail stuff,,,, but as I watched your video today, there were a few things I was doing wrong,,,,I will be dusting off the plate case and give it a try ,,,,thanks, great video 🤗👍💐🥳😁🫂
I can't get the design on the stamper. I tried rolling or just up and down....I really want it to work. I bought a bunch of stencils about a year and a half ago and I only got it to work once. maybe I'll try again.
I've tried but had issues with stamping. It's always been hit or miss, and I screw up a lot of my prepared nails, which 😠!Your video is inspiring and I'll keep at it. Britt TFS 😊
Lindt rollers are also a great tool to use to clean your stamper! Try using less polish on your plate. Also if you struggling to pick up an image then sometimes trying different directions and angles can help. This looks great for your first go!! (ps this will get rather addictive, especially when you start reverse stamping, feel free to use my maniology code THENAILCHRONICLE for 10% off)
Love your videos. One thing I notice though, is you are using too much polish. You want to put a little on one end of the plate design then pull over the entire design with a 45 degree scraping motion.
I think gabby used too much nail polish... I think it's fine if you do one swipe in the direction your scraping and it will cover everything depending on the size of the picture (2 depending on the size of the picture) that might be me tho lol

@@GabbyAngelique You're right, it can seem so overwhelming!! 😍 You're most welcome, thank you for your always good content and beautiful personality ❤️😘Xx
Stamping is fun once you get the hang of it! I remember when stampers were NOT clear. It was even harder to learn back then! 😂
Those were the days 😅 I'm so happy there are clear ones now!
glad I’m late to stamping! using a stamper that’s not clear sounds so stressful lol
@@GabbyAngelique Highly!! 😂😂
I’d you use a stamper is it reusable or 1 time use😴
Ooh I love stamped designs :) Always so fun and the options are endless!
Samee :) stamped designs are real tuff! Also, love ur channel!💕💕
I love it so far too! I can’t wait to try out more stamping plates

thank you sm for the tips! I’ll definitely be looking into getting a variety of stampers!
okay so did everyone know about using a lint roller except for me? 😭 I didn’t even think of that but will definitely use one next time!
I only knew about it because my old nail lady used it when stamping my nails. 😊

Join Maniologys FB group, so many great tips & tricks there such as using a lint roller
Yep, lint roller or tape. Acetone will destroy your stamper. And 100% acetone on your plates to keep from leaving oils behind.
Another tip, rubbing alcohol helps get the polish off the skin around the nail right after stamping
Thank you for making it look realistic instead of perfect!
welcome ❤️❤️

@@johnspetkitty81 I feel like it’s one of those techniques where you’ll always have a few fails here and there!
@@GabbyAngelique It really is. Pretty sure there's no "perfecting" it at all.
Ombré? Okay, I need to try that, I’m terrible at ombré.
I loveeee the modern masterpiece plate!
me too!! There are so many cute design options it was hard to pick just a few

Maybe you could try picking up that circle pressing staright down..? Idk maybe that would work better 💕
I think so too! I tried pressing the circle once but then gave up 😀
Thanks so much this made it so much clearer for me. Do you think you could use regular nail polish for this or does it have to be stamping polish?
Amazing dear friend 😍 Thanks for sharing
thanks for watching!
Who remembers that nail stamping brand, Konad? They started it all.
I love the flower nail it looks beautiful
thank you!
@@GabbyAngelique your welcome
Great tries! You'll definitely get better with more practice. :)
Gabby - I told the Maniology user community abut your supa helpful videos. Thanks again....

I use Scotch tape to remove the ink off of the rubber stamp. Works great and does not mess up the rubber at all.
thank you!
Great video! I’ve tried and failed stamping once, will give it a try again 🥰
thank you! And yes you should, it’ll be worth it!

@@GabbyAngelique 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I found that tape gets it off your skin. But only when you are stamping.
Use a lint roller for cleaning
Wea can i find you
Put less nail polish for the circle shape, you have too much polish. You can also use a q tips with acetone to wipe the unwanted shape off the stamp
Yeah I thought so too, I tried using less polish a few times but I need to practice more!
@@GabbyAngelique you can also try to use stamping gel, it might have a better result
Love your videos. One thing I notice though, is you are using too much polish. You want to put a little on one end of the plate design then pull over the entire design with a 45 degree scraping motion.
