Ok...I’m an idiot. I literally was screaming at my nail stamp plate because I couldn’t get it to work...and the blue sticker was still on the whole time 😆
OMG I just made a discovery, warm up your plates! Metal stays pretty cold, and when you clean with acetone it makes it even colder...the cold shocks the polish dry so run under hot water a while and dry off. A big thing too, make sure there's no air movement, fan, open window, air vent. That thin layer dries so fast lol
Thank You! I finally decided to break down and watch some videos since what I’m doing is not working. Your tip along w/ this video I should be able to get something to work now😊
Honestly, I use silly putty instead of a stamper and the little card that comes with otter box glass screen protectors (to push bubbles out) Silly putty picks up so well and is a buck at dollar stores. And I like to use polishes that are getting old and tacky lol.
Yes, I definitely just found out if the plates are warm it works beautifully! I wrapped a heating pad in an old towel, and every time I stamped it came out perfect every time, I have been so frustrated, now just need to find a better way to keep the plates warm, would like to know how nail techs do this in a salon?!
@@spankymonsterr ,yes it would help just don't keep under there while doing your nails,it does make the nail polish dry too quickly,before you have a chance to stamp!!
hi. thank you for this video, but i have a problem that was not mentioned in your video. I just bought a few stamping plates from 2 different 100 yen shops here in Japan as well as a clear squishy stamper and a plastic scraper. I've tried MANY different polishes and for some reason every time i try to pick up the polish with my stamper, it never picks of the polish. I'm not sure why, and i would really like to get use out of these items. Thank you! edit: im so dumb, i forgot to take off the sticker! I hadnt realized because the sticker was clear
Emily Nora most of the time it’s the polish for some reason some work better then others but you can try roughing up the stamper a little NOT a crazy amount just lightly I think it was a recommendation that came with mine, I know I seen it somewhere. Just get your file like the block ones and the lightest sanding one the one you use before buffing use that and just hit it a couple of time with that and make sure it’s clean no oils nothing just lightly clean it with alcohol 💕
There are tons of videos that have been put out since this posted. This is the one I shared with my daughter. I feel you have done a great job explaining what was available at the time. Well done pointing out what to look out for. Thank you for showing how it is done.
I wish I found this video earlier...I got SOO mad because the stamping plate wasn’t working.... Then I figured out there was a cover on the stamping plate 😅😅
lmao! i was getting so mad today, because i recived these as a chrismas present. i tryed to use it, but it was not working! then, i saw this then realoised mine had a cover too XDD
I've been looking for a good video for beginner stamping and I have to say, yours is by far the best one out there. I watched quite a few and was still left with unanswered questions. Your video answered all my questions and more, excellent!!! Thank you!
OML YOU A LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know that you took the blue thing off and I was about to throw my stamping plate at my wall! This video was so much help!
good scrapers are also a must, i was using a hard plastic scraper and if ur a first timer u can be sat there scraping for ages, u need something with a lil flex. this vid was great i was tryna stamp for ages and never thought to roll i was just bopping the plate for ages, finally got the stamp to work
Thanks for making this. It was helpful. I actually bought the first stamper set showed. It was sold at Five Below for $4. The name brand was not on it, but it is the same exact kit. You are definitely right about the metal scraper being no good. I tried using an old gift card as you mentioned. It worked much better. Thanks again.
Would you please talk a bit about whether or not you wipe the stamp after each stamp too. I'm going to be trying stamping for the first time soon. I do my own gel nails. That also took a lot of practice and patience but my budget was the motivation.
Thank you for the upload! I buy all my plates on Ebay, they are name brand, cheaper and that's helped me since I'm new to stamping and making every mistake that's possible 🙄
I love the Walmart stamping kit plates...they work well as does the stamper...however I have switched to a plastic scraper and better stamper as I can get better positioning with the clear stamper ;)
So after watching your video I decided to try stamping again and I had much better luck after watching your video! I found a part of my problem was the scraper I had they were terrible too thick and wouldn't scrape the template well at all. Thank you so much.
I remember buying a stamper a long time ago before I even knew what it was. My sister and I were so unaware of what it was or how to use it. We just lterally like Zoolander where he and hansel are trying to figure out how to use a computer😂 this was a really great video for beginners. I dont do nails but I see a lot of potential for the use of a nail stamper in other crafts. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge❤
It was the right pace for me, who is a cosmetology student on the nail mod. Your voice was clear and demonstrations were useful. I love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤. I learned a lot and I purchased the kit from bundle monster base on your recommendations. Thank you for all your help. I subbed for more vids
I appreciate this video, as it was very interesting and informative. I am considering buying the kit you showed to help me get started with learning to stamp. Thank you.
I ordered the Bundle Monster stamper that looks like yours. it came with 2 scrapers and 2 additional stamper pads that are less firm. I just want to say thank you!!! I could not believe how well this stamper picked up. It picked up everything!!! I used Sally Hensen nail posh, Candi nail polish, and even my sinful colors nail polish. I'm so exited to do my nails and my daughter's nails. I'm excited to order more items from bundle Monster as well. Thank you!!!
Omg, jessica you answered one of my questions, was wondering if the plate being cold an my ceiling fan running was affecting my stamping, thanks so much for sharing that!!
Just want you to know that you already helped me by making this video, so a huge big THANK YOU! I learned about my mistakes. I learned the correct way watching your video!
Thanks so much for teaching so many things. I really appreciate it. I can't find your smaller stamper that is grey and pink. Can you share an alternative?
I have the express salón kit...don't really like it, only used it a few times...horrible experience with it...I always thought it was me who was doing everything wrong, but that's not the case, it's just the stamper and scraper😂😊👍🏼 thanks for the video 👍🏼
I am new to nail stamping and wanted to try it out but didn’t want to spend a whole lot of money on a kit. I found that first kit (with the crappy scraper) at Five Below for only $4. Sure it’s not the best but it makes for good practice. Next time I’ll use an old gift card for a scraper, and my design didn’t come out as crisp as when she did it, but as I said it’s a good starter kit for only $4.
thank you for sharing this video! Your timing couldn't be better! I have ordered my very first stamping plates and I am so excited to get them but was really worried that I had no stamping polishes!! again. thank you so much for this video! it has been so sooooo helpful for me. xx
never tried a Twinkled T stamping plate, but I have found their stamping polishes are REALLY nice. i've been using them with Pueen stamping plates with great results
I made such a mess!! First I didnt take the blue film off so stressed out for a while. Then once I took it out it still didnt pick up the image so while yellin at my stamper my polish went all over my table. 2 hrs later and one image finally came out good.
What is the plastic sheet u used to pick up the print. I’m brand new to this n my friend gave me most of the supplies but I thought u stamped directly to the nail. Oh ya I’m using press on nails n I have stands for them for painting. I’ve been using stencil stickers n creating my own patterns but I’d like to do more n I remembered I had the stamping stuff. Your video was very helpful I just got lost with the transferring of print to nail. Help plz lol thk u
Ok, I'm here for the nails, but has anyone ever tried henna paste in these stamping pads and applied it to skin? The idea just crossed my mind looking at some of the nail designs.....
Oh my God that’s genius! So I was just trying to do my nails with a brush and could not get the design I wanted at all. So I decided to take my little squeeze bottles with the tiny little applicator tips (that I use for my henna designs) and fill it with slightly watered down acrylic paint. Which actually worked great… I was able to draw my designs as if I were writing with a fine point pen instead of trying to use a brush. But, now I want to do the reverse and try using my nail stuff for my henna LOL
I didn't get a scraper with my plates, so I just used a old credit card. My stampers are from Born Pretty, which isn't the best, but I was wondering why they weren't working, and you answered it.
One thing is to wipe it off right after! Every time I tried remover or even straight acetone my plate got cloudy. I found just rubbing with it doesn't work, you then have to rub with whatever you use for cleaning with nothing on it. Plates look like new afterward.
I was having a real hard time last night while practicing with mine, I have a few different ones too, including the Salon Express which is awful, and wouldn't recommend it either, but since I got mine from eBay the scraper doesn't have a "metal" piece, it's actually plastic, and does work really well. I finally decided to prime the new clear jelly stamper that I have, and try again... Nope still didn't work! And I'm using Stamping Polish, I was like wth? 😌 Then, even before watching your video I tried "Rolling" very lightly, and the images came out great! So you're definitely right, every stamper is used differently, and you just have to practice. But thank you for your video, you just confirmed everything that I did 😊 Have you used the Born Pretty products? I'm wondering what you think of them.
I'm glad you were able to make it work!! Stamping can get so frustrating, but once you get it, it's so much fun. I have not yet tried any Born Pretty products but from what I hear, they're nice, especially for the low prices. I've had my eye on the Clear Jelly Stamper for quite some time so I might just have to invest and buy that one too!
LilypadPolish I bought the Born Pretty giant jelly stamper thinking that was my problem. Nope! Still can't pick up an image! I got some plates from Pueen and still nothing. I'm so frustrated! Lol :) I'm going to try and roll it with a lighter hand and see how that goes. Thank you for the tips! :)
Sorry to hear you're having difficulties with the stamper, but with some practice, I'm sure you'll be able to stamp perfectly in no time. Best of luck :)
Cortney Mikel Were you able to pick up some images after trying with a lighter hand? I know that my problem was that I was pushing too hard, and I found that some images on the same plate picked up perfectly, and a couple that just wouldn't work. So keep that in mind when practicing, and try different images, you might have better luck ☺
LilypadPolish Thank you! You should definitely get the clear jelly stamper, it is so much easier to position the image. Maybe get one from Born Pretty, and do a video & review? Happy Holidays! 🎄🎅
wow thanks for all the tips. so thorough. I got my stamp set last week and hadn't played with it yet. I wanted to know if you had to clean the plate immediately after using as I suspected but no one else told me so thanks for saying so!! 🙂
I am totally new at this and have done decent at it so far. Your videos are super helpful. My problem is that my stamp seems to run with my top coat. I ended up with a totally black nail after my top coat. Any suggestions?
I'm glad you find them helpful! I, too, struggled immensely with the smudging of the polish once applying a top coat. It's a mistake I still make from time to time if I'm not careful. My best suggestion is to use a large bead/gloop of top coat. I always make sure that my brush has a lot of polish on it so that the polish easily glides across my nail and the brush itself doesn't really make any contact with the design, so it doesn't smudge. I hope that made sense!
Well I was reminded what to do with stamping polish and that is not to use as a nail base coat 🤦♀️but how long should you wait for your nail polish to dry before stamping?
Thanks for this video!!! I went looking for tutorials (not just "Here's 10 minutes of music an fast-paced videos of people doing nail designs without talking any technique or drawbacks or really anything useful at all") and found this one. I'll be wandering over to your videos list to see if there are more :)
Omg I think we all started with the salon express one lol I remember my mom bought it for my 17th bday (I'm 24 now) 😅 tfs! And Pueen has a stamping plate set at Walmart for 9.98! Pretty amazing for beginners.
How much stamping polish should I be using to get my picture to transfer to my stamper , How do you know which is the way your stamping plate picture goes
When I scrape the polish off the plate it leaves trails around the image so when I stamp the image on to my nail there’s always trail marks behind the image. You get it so crisp and clean, maybe it’s my scraper I’ll have to change my scraper and practice more 😔 xxxx
Ok so I know I just found your channel, and it's 5y later, but I need help. Just got my nail stamps and stamper, but i took off the safety sticker to reveal the metal stamping shapes and now it's not working how I should use it, what did I do wrong?
I tried to follow your links to find the kit (the one with the zipper case and all the goodies) you showed in your video and BMC doesn't show it on their website. In fact most of the kits there didn't have all the tools. Got different links, please? Also, if I wanted to use these on jewelry pendants instead of nails, do you think they'd work?
bundle monster changed their name to Maniology, so i definitely need to update the links. but yes, i definitely do think they can work with jewelry as long as you make sure to add a top coat over top of it and then a final seal :)
Curious, can you Stam with gel polish? Wouldn't it be so much easier? You wouldn't need to worry about rushing in any way shape or form and you wouldn't have to keep cleaning your plate bc the Polish won't dry.
you technically caaaan but it’s a lot more difficult. because gel polish doesn’t dry, it’s harder to pick up with the stamper. the reason nail polish is able to be picked up is because it is partially dry. you just gotta find that sweet spot! hope that makes sense :)
@@LilypadPolish this makes so much sense because I have been trying to do stamping with gel polish and the product stays wet so there's no definition to the image. Will definitely try the regular polish and see if there's a difference
Hi! I am new to stamping and just ordered almost every tool that you talk about in your video from Bundle Monster. I cannot get any of my stampers to pick up anything! I was so disappointed, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong. How hard should you push on the plate when trying to pick up an image with the stamper? It looks like you use a VERY light hand. Is that the trick? Also, is there priming that I need to do the stampers? Hopefully you can help!
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling, I know how frustrating it can be! And yes, you are right, I usually use a light hand to pick up the images. I've noticed that usually, when I use a light hand and gently roll the stamper, it picks up really nice. I do not prime any of my stampers, though. The only stamper that I have ever primed is the Bundle Monster Mochi Stamper. As mentioned in the video, gently scrape the extra polish only one to three times, just to make sure that you're not scraping the polish our of the indentation of the image. Then have your stamper ready to gently roll it on your plate and it should be able to pick up it up beautifully! When I say have your stamper "ready," I mean to make sure that your stamper is clean and doesn't have any dust particles or anything. You can easily clean it with a piece of tape or lint roller because nail polish remover or acetone will ruin the stamper. Ultimately, it just takes a bit of practice and getting used to when stamping, but I hope that this helped nonetheless. Good luck!!
Thanks so much for responding! I think I was pushing way too hard with my stamper. I will use your tricks! Thank you for your help! Very much appreciated :)
What is the BEST top coat over a freshly done stamped nail. Sometimes when I apply a top coat, if I don't have enough on the brush, it smears the stamp😕 Please help me out
I've noticed that when I use a water-based top coat (like Little Ondine, for example), I almost never see any smudging. If you don't have any, I would just suggest using a large bead of top coat and make sure that your brush doesn't come into contact with your nails. Just sort of float the top coat on. That usually help me.
I was told to not use nail polish remover for your plates, to only use pure acetone because polish remover leaves behind stuff since most removers have oils in them.
That's a good question. I haven't had that happen to any of my stamping plates, even the ones I've had for years! But I can't say it won't happen if you maybe haven't used it in a very long time.
Like other listeners I feel you will be much more engrossing to listen to if you stop using "Super" and "So" too often. Speaking faster will help with the monotony. You clearly know your stuff and have a generous character to share your knowledge. You've triggered a new hobby for me! Thank you!
Ok...I’m an idiot. I literally was screaming at my nail stamp plate because I couldn’t get it to work...and the blue sticker was still on the whole time 😆
me 2!! thanks for the comm=))
Shaquille O’atmeal same -_-, never felt so dumb before
Me too🙈🤣
Omg I finally found the reason why it’s not working!!! Thank you so so so so much!!!!!
St least I wasn’t the only one
OMG I just made a discovery, warm up your plates! Metal stays pretty cold, and when you clean with acetone it makes it even colder...the cold shocks the polish dry so run under hot water a while and dry off. A big thing too, make sure there's no air movement, fan, open window, air vent. That thin layer dries so fast lol
ooooh I never thought of that! Maybe I'll try it sometime
nice!!! thank you for the hack!
thank you ! I was trying for the first time with my fan on and it only worked after seeing your comment and turning the fan off
Thank You! I finally decided to break down and watch some videos since what I’m doing is not working. Your tip along w/ this video I should be able to get something to work now😊
Good tip. I'll try that this weekend. Question? Can I use any nail polish or does it have to be stamping nail polish?? 🤔
Honestly, I use silly putty instead of a stamper and the little card that comes with otter box glass screen protectors (to push bubbles out) Silly putty picks up so well and is a buck at dollar stores. And I like to use polishes that are getting old and tacky lol.
Oh, and "season" your plates with cuticle oil, clean it off then it helps release polish from plate
interesting, I'll have to try that out sometime lol
Awesome tip, thank you 😊
Genius!
Thanks cause the stamper that she called the regular stamper can't be found❤️❤️
Why did it never occur to me to practice on paper first. Brilliant! Thanks to you my first attempt gave me the confidence to continue, thank you!
When you peeled the blue film my jaw dropped! I paused the video and ran for my plates.
Tramaine 😂😂😂
lmao
Omg me too 😭😭😂😂
Yes, I definitely just found out if the plates are warm it works beautifully!

Did you ever find a better way to keep them warm? :)
@@AveryCreates no,not really,being under a lamp helps a little,but then you have to hurry and stamp your nails cause the polish dries quick!!
would putting them in the LED lamp for a minute warm it up? 🤔
@@spankymonsterr ,yes it would help just don't keep under there while doing your nails,it does make the nail polish dry too quickly,before you have a chance to stamp!!
There are microwaveable heat pads for pet use that do not get too hot, but hold heat for hours. Could put one under or close to your work area maybe.

I didn't get a scraper with my plates, so I just used a old credit card. My stampers are from Born Pretty, which isn't the best, but I was wondering why they weren't working, and you answered it.
You answered every question but the one I had. I'm having trouble getting the nail polish off of there plate. Any suggestions?
Try using acetone instead of nail polish remover.
One thing is to wipe it off right after! Every time I tried remover or even straight acetone my plate got cloudy. I found just rubbing with it doesn't work, you then have to rub with whatever you use for cleaning with nothing on it. Plates look like new afterward.
I was having a real hard time last night while practicing with mine, I have a few different ones too, including the Salon Express which is awful, and wouldn't recommend it either, but since I got mine from eBay the scraper doesn't have a "metal" piece, it's actually plastic, and does work really well. I finally decided to prime the new clear jelly stamper that I have, and try again... Nope still didn't work! And I'm using Stamping Polish, I was like wth? 😌 Then, even before watching your video I tried "Rolling" very lightly, and the images came out great! So you're definitely right, every stamper is used differently, and you just have to practice. But thank you for your video, you just confirmed everything that I did 😊 Have you used the Born Pretty products? I'm wondering what you think of them.
I'm glad you were able to make it work!! Stamping can get so frustrating, but once you get it, it's so much fun. I have not yet tried any Born Pretty products but from what I hear, they're nice, especially for the low prices. I've had my eye on the Clear Jelly Stamper for quite some time so I might just have to invest and buy that one too!
LilypadPolish I bought the Born Pretty giant jelly stamper thinking that was my problem. Nope! Still can't pick up an image! I got some plates from Pueen and still nothing. I'm so frustrated! Lol :) I'm going to try and roll it with a lighter hand and see how that goes. Thank you for the tips! :)
Sorry to hear you're having difficulties with the stamper, but with some practice, I'm sure you'll be able to stamp perfectly in no time. Best of luck :)
Cortney Mikel Were you able to pick up some images after trying with a lighter hand? I know that my problem was that I was pushing too hard, and I found that some images on the same plate picked up perfectly, and a couple that just wouldn't work. So keep that in mind when practicing, and try different images, you might have better luck ☺
LilypadPolish Thank you! You should definitely get the clear jelly stamper, it is so much easier to position the image. Maybe get one from Born Pretty, and do a video & review? Happy Holidays! 🎄🎅
Thank you, this is super informative.
thank you for watching! :)
Thanks, very helpful video. Haven’t tried nail stamping, but I’m ready to get a kit and try it🙂
wow thanks for all the tips. so thorough. I got my stamp set last week and hadn't played with it yet. I wanted to know if you had to clean the plate immediately after using as I suspected but no one else told me so thanks for saying so!! 🙂
Thanks for all the tips! Can I stamp over gel polish? Of course after I add the top clear coat
I don't normally use gel polish, but yes, I believe you can
Great video! I am new to stamping and look forward to watching your other videos!
I am totally new at this and have done decent at it so far. Your videos are super helpful. My problem is that my stamp seems to run with my top coat. I ended up with a totally black nail after my top coat. Any suggestions?
I'm glad you find them helpful! I, too, struggled immensely with the smudging of the polish once applying a top coat. It's a mistake I still make from time to time if I'm not careful. My best suggestion is to use a large bead/gloop of top coat. I always make sure that my brush has a lot of polish on it so that the polish easily glides across my nail and the brush itself doesn't really make any contact with the design, so it doesn't smudge. I hope that made sense!
Yes totally. Thanks. I'll try bigger amounts of top coat next time.
Great, informative stamping video! Thanks. Loved all the details and recommendations.
thank you so much! I appreciate it.
Well I was reminded what to do with stamping polish and that is not to use as a nail base coat 🤦♀️but how long should you wait for your nail polish to dry before stamping?
OMG..YOU WERE VERY GOOD ! ! ! very thorough, nice job
thank you so much, I appreciate it
Need more on scraping! How to hold scraper etc. I either scrape off to much, no transfer! Or not enough scraped off and stamp is a mess!
Very helpful. But one question do you needs special nail color. Cause the imagine comes very light
It bleeded? 😂 It BLED.
Laurie 💀💀💀
Super helpful advice! I got the bundle monster beginners kit thing, and it worked great :)
I'm glad to hear that!! I really love the kit as well.
Thanks for this video!!! I went looking for tutorials (not just "Here's 10 minutes of music an fast-paced videos of people doing nail designs without talking any technique or drawbacks or really anything useful at all") and found this one.
I'll be wandering over to your videos list to see if there are more :)
Thank you so much for the video I see where I was doing it wrong. I tried to access your links but none of them worked. Any suggestions? Thank you
I've tried stamping for the first time a couple days ago and couldn't get it... but I'm determined to get it.
Excellent video. Thank you for posting!
Omg I think we all started with the salon express one lol I remember my mom bought it for my 17th bday (I'm 24 now) 😅 tfs! And Pueen has a stamping plate set at Walmart for 9.98! Pretty amazing for beginners.
Yes I bought mine sooo long haha. But omg thank you so much for letting me know!! I need to take a trip to Walmart asap!!! :D
Do you have a video showing how to use the pueen stamping kit?
Just subscribed thanks so much for this video and your channel is so great!!
thank you!! 🥺💖
How much stamping polish should I be using to get my picture to transfer to my stamper , How do you know which is the way your stamping plate picture goes
When I scrape the polish off the plate it leaves trails around the image so when I stamp the image on to my nail there’s always trail marks behind the image. You get it so crisp and clean, maybe it’s my scraper I’ll have to change my scraper and practice more 😔 xxxx
Ok so I know I just found your channel, and it's 5y later, but I need help.
Just got my nail stamps and stamper, but i took off the safety sticker to reveal the metal stamping shapes and now it's not working how I should use it, what did I do wrong?
Ok thank you I'll keep practicing and see how I do
This helped me out a lot . My problem is my stamper .
You answered a lot of my questions in this video, thanks.
Can we also use uv gel polish with this? How about acrylic paint?
I'm trying Maniology stamping plates.
What a great in depth video! Thanks tons!! 👍
I tried to follow your links to find the kit (the one with the zipper case and all the goodies) you showed in your video and BMC doesn't show it on their website. In fact most of the kits there didn't have all the tools. Got different links, please? Also, if I wanted to use these on jewelry pendants instead of nails, do you think they'd work?
bundle monster changed their name to Maniology, so i definitely need to update the links. but yes, i definitely do think they can work with jewelry as long as you make sure to add a top coat over top of it and then a final seal :)
Curious, can you Stam with gel polish? Wouldn't it be so much easier? You wouldn't need to worry about rushing in any way shape or form and you wouldn't have to keep cleaning your plate bc the Polish won't dry.
you technically caaaan but it’s a lot more difficult. because gel polish doesn’t dry, it’s harder to pick up with the stamper. the reason nail polish is able to be picked up is because it is partially dry. you just gotta find that sweet spot! hope that makes sense :)
@@LilypadPolish this makes so much sense because I have been trying to do stamping with gel polish and the product stays wet so there's no definition to the image. Will definitely try the regular polish and see if there's a difference
Hi! I am new to stamping and just ordered almost every tool that you talk about in your video from Bundle Monster. I cannot get any of my stampers to pick up anything! I was so disappointed, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong. How hard should you push on the plate when trying to pick up an image with the stamper? It looks like you use a VERY light hand. Is that the trick? Also, is there priming that I need to do the stampers? Hopefully you can help!
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling, I know how frustrating it can be! And yes, you are right, I usually use a light hand to pick up the images. I've noticed that usually, when I use a light hand and gently roll the stamper, it picks up really nice. I do not prime any of my stampers, though. The only stamper that I have ever primed is the Bundle Monster Mochi Stamper. As mentioned in the video, gently scrape the extra polish only one to three times, just to make sure that you're not scraping the polish our of the indentation of the image. Then have your stamper ready to gently roll it on your plate and it should be able to pick up it up beautifully! When I say have your stamper "ready," I mean to make sure that your stamper is clean and doesn't have any dust particles or anything. You can easily clean it with a piece of tape or lint roller because nail polish remover or acetone will ruin the stamper. Ultimately, it just takes a bit of practice and getting used to when stamping, but I hope that this helped nonetheless. Good luck!!
Thanks so much for responding! I think I was pushing way too hard with my stamper. I will use your tricks! Thank you for your help! Very much appreciated :)
Of course!! Hope this helped :)
LilypadPolish b
b12hart yes some you will have to prime for them to work
What is the BEST top coat over a freshly done stamped nail. Sometimes when I apply a top coat, if I don't have enough on the brush, it smears the stamp😕 Please help me out
I've noticed that when I use a water-based top coat (like Little Ondine, for example), I almost never see any smudging. If you don't have any, I would just suggest using a large bead of top coat and make sure that your brush doesn't come into contact with your nails. Just sort of float the top coat on. That usually help me.
How do you get your jelly stamper to work? I’ve tried everything
lubna s me too 😩 nothing works
Mayrel Black you are supposed to wash your stamper in soap and water first to prime.😊 hope that helps
Thank you so much ! This was so helpful, love the video !
I was told to not use nail polish remover for your plates, to only use pure acetone because polish remover leaves behind stuff since most removers have oils in them.
This literally helped me so much thank you so much for this video!!!
Thanks for sharing this! I'm just starting and really need some direction! Great tips!! XOXO :)
I got a stamping kit from Amazon for about $2, works pretty well for the price range
Can you please demonstrate how to use the big glass stamper
Quick question, how do you clean the stamper? Like leftover polish? I feel like I'm damaging mine...
I use a lint roller
You covered everything! Thanks so much for your tutorial.
Love this video, you did an amazing job breaking down stamping, look forward to trying this technique out! Thank you!!
Very informative. Thanks 4 sharing😁
aw thank you for this video I learn more another tips😍
Hi, thanks for the video :)
Quick question, I was wondering if nail stamping plates get old, or rust away ?
That's a good question. I haven't had that happen to any of my stamping plates, even the ones I've had for years! But I can't say it won't happen if you maybe haven't used it in a very long time.
LilypadPolish okay thanks this was helpful
Do you need to clean the jail stamp each time after you stamp on your nails do you ever have to clean the gel stamp
Hello! I'm going to start my own TH-camchannel, also about gelnails. So I was interested in how you did your first video?
my first video was my phone stacked on a bunch of books haha but it worked! I suggest you just go ahead and do it!!
Like other listeners I feel you will be much more engrossing to listen to if you stop using "Super" and "So" too often. Speaking faster will help with the monotony. You clearly know your stuff and have a generous character to share your knowledge. You've triggered a new hobby for me! Thank you!
thanks for watching :)
