In screen printing when trying to do a gradient (also called a split fountain), instead of putting the colors next to each other, you have to overlap them before swiping. Put color 1 2/3 of the way from the top, and color 2 2/3 of the way from the bottom, next to color 1 (if that makes sense)
Personal Opinion I thought so too! Haha It’s when you apply polish to a baggie or stamp mat and scratch the polish with a toothpick so it makes stripes. Nails by Jema did a vid I think. I’ve never been able to get it to work for me but I should try again!
Meh, think I'll stick to sponges for my gradients. This plate kinda seems like a solution in search of a problem. Plus with a sponge, less cleanup lol. I hate cleaning a stamping plate
I wanted to buy that plate just for that gradient maker, but in some other review of that plate someone commented that you could do the same thing by flipping over any stamping plate with a metal back and taping off a rectangular area. I've never tried it though, but I think you should. The final result turned out pretty!
That actually turned out to look pretty awesome. I love how first layer of top coat blurs and smooths a gradient slightly, that's always my favorite part and stamping hides a multitude of sins which is great 👍🏼💗💙💚
That tumeric color is nice. I did not even realize Turmeric had an "r" in the wrong place until you told me. Big fan of that spice as Indian food is my favorite. It's very healthy. We under use that spice in the U.S.. Anyway, thanks for showing about the stamping plate. Your videos are awesome.
You are so funny/silly and I love it 😂 I’m glad I found your channel. I don’t think anyone could be grumpy watching your videos 😋 Oh, and, your nails are gorgeous 💅🏻
Maggie Peterson thank you! I think it’s a pretty cool plate and with practice will work great! Also after looking at it more I really like the other images on it 💜💜
I prefer Stiff scraper for this Gradient image. For some reason, flimsy scrapers doesn't blend colors nicely for me. Maybe you can try firm scraper like Pueen sells with their sets.
Thank you so much for this video! 😊 I bought a stamping plate from Maniology that has one of those rectangle gradient thingies and I had no clue how to use it! Also, you're really funny and endearing. 😊 I just thought I'd share that with you.
Great video! This has probably already been said but I use mine by putting the middle colour on the image like you did, then putting the other two on the side but virtually touching so there's a lot of colour overlap. And I scrape about 4/5 times with a really flexible scraper. I also stamp the white base using this cos I'm lazy!
You can also blend colours on stamping plates by placing them sequentially with a gap between instead of side by side. That way the scraper hits the first colour, spreads it through the gap and into the start of the second colour. You might get more blending that way. I’ve done that with stamp designs, though of course that’s not just a solid block of colour. I don’t have this plate and this video is the first I’ve heard of it so I haven’t tried it myself. I don’t know if it could, even with lots of practice, fully replicate the sponge method. This plate may always create a slightly different look for a gradient, but that could be a good thing.
Not gonna lie ALL your videos are ASMR for me! Your first video ever, the Zombie Nail Tutorial is perfect for falling asleep! (That sounds like a backhanded compliment but I swear it isn't!) That video is my fave! 😀 lol!
Clear jelly stamper also has a plate with a blank image and a couple other companies do too now but Lina was the first. I love her plates. There's a lot of ig tutorials of peeps using that image and you will find some tips and tricks. You have really beautiful nails! 😍
Your video pretty much sums up my experience with this plate 😄 Kind of too bad that I couldn't get it to work, because I was very excited about the possibility of stamping gradients. However, I have to say that the end result with the white stamping on top looked amazing! ❤️
Bravesdivanails did an amazing review tutorial on this and really showed it's true potential I like using this image for laying base Polish. Stamp the same color 3 times like layer it up on the sane nail and u have a base Polish that's dry in no time.. Then use the image to make ur gradient and stamp it a couple times onto the sane nail like layer it up and it gives a great gradient look.
Came out really pretty! Maybe using something other than a toothpick to blend (It's too sharp) you could use one of your thingies you use for burnishing glitter? IDK, just an idea out of my goofy head...
First time here and all I can say is, you crack me up 😂 ! ASMR hahahaha and your fascination with your nail outline on the stamper 🤣! I love me some funny women and because of that...... SUBSCRIBE ✅
Remember your 4th of July sharpie tutorial? Ok. Put the chrome over white polish, and then use the blue and red sharpies and for the stars ⭐️ do the reverse chrome stamping technique. (Chrome on the stamper pick up the polish and the chrome is on top when you stamp).
beautiful, these plates are good but they are expensive. I have the same plate, however, later i found out another plate on ali express which has the same blank image to create that gradient thing and much much cheaper ($3 only). I wish I found them before I bought this.. Your nails are beutiful
I noticed that regular polishes work better with these blank gradient plate images I have this plate with a couple others and yeah regular polish always worked way better than my stamping polished just my opinion hope it helps some
I've been trying to work with vinyls and I cannot get the end result to look as clean as yours :( also I have a clear jelly stamper I got from wish that I tried to do some stamping with and it didn't pick up anything at all, I was using a regular pure ice nail polish... Is it because I need a better stamper or was the regular polish drying to quick to be picked up? I need help!!! 😂😢😂😢
Destiny Arnett I have a clear jelly wish stamper also it picks up perfect, it's my go to stamper. I didn't have to prime mine but some people say washing it with soap and water first helps, and try stamping polishes or sally Hansen Insta dry polishes.
Some polishes stamp better than others - and when you do stamping, so many things can affect the result; the polish, the stamper, the scraper, the pressure you're using etc. So keep trying and you'll find what works for you ! I have trouble with jelly stampers too. My trusted stamper is the white marshmellowy dual ended one from uberchic that isn't see through but stamps almost anything.
Destiny Arnett if you have a clear stamper you dont press hard when picking up the image plus you have to work fast or the image will dry and wont stick to the nail
I luv luv the end look😎 It's sooo pretty. I know it took a few mistakes to get there lol. You always do a great job. Sorry about the ouch you got. You made the right choice by going best mode on the door. Who wants to crawl on to a nasty ass bathroom floor? not me! So yeah ..... Ty for sharing all the obstacles of life 👌We all go through it luv.
Moi aussi j’ai acheté cette plaque pour les dégradés mais je suis déçue. Je vais faire une première couche avec ça puis une deuxième couche à l’éponge pour le fondu. Merci pour cette vidéo.
Is it weird that I love those fugly colors? 😭 I've wanted a turmeric yellow nail polish for so long and I just can't seem to find one in my country 😭 Also, your videos are lovely and your voice is mesmerizing! The asmr though 😂 ,much love ❤
It's too much work and results are not consistent for blank image. I used it a lot then decided using a sponge gave better results. I do like her plates. I gave 9 of them.
I've seen this work really well with lots of colors. I can see how fewer colors in your gradient may not blend as well. on the website, it says you can do like a 7 color gradient without issue. Jessiesnaildate on IG has used this a handful of times and has done some awesome full rainbow gradients. I think it's a specialized tool. Your trusty sponge will work better for fewer colors, but this will work better for 4+ colors.

It reminds me of a Neapolitan ice cream. A holo Taco fixes everything. What’s a scratch mani? Can you try it & show us a tutorial?

KimShea22 I agree 💯 Personally, I'll stick to sponges for gradients because the stamping plate method seems a bit too problematic for me.
Your fails would definitely be my best nail art outcomes! 😂😂
Jennifer MB Looool word lol

Ann King you can😁
That looks fab with the stamping over it, great save lady! 💜💙💚

I love the different camera angles!
im so glad you reviewed this plate! i was going to get it, but i wasn't sure how it worked! thank you thank you! I love your videos!
Maggie Peterson thank you! I think it’s a pretty cool plate and with practice will work great! Also after looking at it more I really like the other images on it 💜💜
I can't believe how beautifully this turned out! Great job, Angel!
That's how you use the plate I really like the way the colors came out it looks very nice
Your nails are incredible. Your nails without polish are just perfect ❤️ 5:22 ❤️
I prefer Stiff scraper for this Gradient image. For some reason, flimsy scrapers doesn't blend colors nicely for me. Maybe you can try firm scraper like Pueen sells with their sets.
Love the colour combo! Those neons are so pretty even if the gradient wasn’t the best 😍 looked amazing at the end though as always
I would love to see you give this a real go with a true gradient - like ombré with shades of the same color. I wonder if it would work better.
Thank you so much for this video! 😊 I bought a stamping plate from Maniology that has one of those rectangle gradient thingies and I had no clue how to use it!
Also, you're really funny and endearing. 😊 I just thought I'd share that with you.
Loved the first neon stamp, beautiful
I'm loving these long videos!!
haha thanks! I don't what has happened lately but I can't seem to make a vid shorter than 15 mins LOL
Great video! This has probably already been said but I use mine by putting the middle colour on the image like you did, then putting the other two on the side but virtually touching so there's a lot of colour overlap. And I scrape about 4/5 times with a really flexible scraper. I also stamp the white base using this cos I'm lazy!
I LOVE that mani you had in the beginning of the video!!!! 😍😍😍😍 And the one at the end was pretty too!!!
I've been hoping you'd review this plate! I always trust your reviews for than anyone else's. Love you Angel! X
Anne Mariner-Gibbs oh thanks! I was late with reviewing it I’ve had it since October 😱😂 better late than never lol
Im glad you didnt break a nail trying to get out lol
Essence of Polish haha I was lucky because I had to hit it really hard! Lol
I was doubtful at first but I think they came out great in the end with the white stamping 😊

I love the final outcome, very 80’s! 🤩 Thanks for testing, I’m sure it’s gotta be faster than a sponge gradient.
Fairy dust does make everything better! haha I think it looked so cool in the end!

They came out beautiful!
Maria Tyler thank you so much!!
Your bathroom story was hilarious! Thanks for sharing!
They turned out great - love the pastel look
I use mine too double stamp. I pick up the stamp and gradient on one stamper and stamp the base gradient and stamp image all with one step 😉
Bravesdivanails did an amazing review tutorial on this and really showed it's true potential I like using this image for laying base Polish. Stamp the same color 3 times like layer it up on the sane nail and u have a base Polish that's dry in no time..

Nifty plate will have to order 1 later on to try!! Thank you for trying it out was helpful and gave some fun ideas 😍
I cant stop staring at your nails. hashtag nail goals! Its my favorite nail polish colour too! Love you!!!!
That stamping plate looks awesome 😍 I'm in love with that set i love the color combinations 😊❤❤
LOL, this is the most fun I've had watching a nail vid..thank you
Yess fairy dust fixes everything!😂👌Love how these turned out!
Girllll when I got this plate I wasted SO much polish trying to get it to look decent lol I felt your pain!
Came out really pretty! Maybe using something other than a toothpick to blend (It's too sharp) you could use one of your thingies you use for burnishing glitter? IDK, just an idea out of my goofy head...
PaganVoodooGypsy good idea I’ll try out some other mixing tools!
LMAO... That outline was hilarious!!!!
I scrape several times just a tiny bit higher & lower blending more. Not as mush polish, more even amounts & spacing. Good luck.
i like this idea, but i think any solid surface would work?
I can go beast mode on the latch!!!Love it!😂
Ive just watched a load of ur videos and ive gotta say I am LOVING them, definitely new subby here =) xx
AWESOME VIDEO LOVE THE GRADIENT COLORS!!
First time here and all I can say is, you crack me up 😂 ! ASMR hahahaha and your fascination with your nail outline on the stamper 🤣! I love me some funny women and because of that...... SUBSCRIBE ✅
I love this plate but it that space def has a learning curve to it, I still frequently screw up gradients on it 😁
the story time at the end is EXACTLY something i would do lmao
Yayeee!! New video new nails, my therapy !!
nycsp haha thank you!!!
twi_star 😘😘
love the mustard color
But...but...what is that color you have on your nails at the start of the video????
Remember your 4th of July sharpie tutorial? Ok. Put the chrome over white polish, and then use the blue and red sharpies and for the stars ⭐️ do the reverse chrome stamping technique. (Chrome on the stamper pick up the polish and the chrome is on top when you stamp).
I'm glad your plate didn't bend when you removed the plastic. They can easily bend if you don't work gently with them.
That was fun to watch, but when you do the gradient use a stiffer card not the flimsy. Great video xo
For a quick gradient I thought it worked great, especially if you're putting another image over it.
I Love your nail polish ASMR😂😂😂😂
beautiful, these plates are good but they are expensive. I have the same plate, however, later i found out another plate on ali express which has the same blank image to create that gradient thing and much much cheaper ($3 only). I wish I found them before I bought this.. Your nails are beutiful
I noticed that regular polishes work better with these blank gradient plate images I have this plate with a couple others and yeah regular polish always worked way better than my stamping polished just my opinion hope it helps some
Only thing is you have too double stamp but that’s what you do with a sponge you do two or three nails so no biggie for me !
I Love your videos😁 You are so funny and you make me laugh 🤭 I couldn’t stop laughing about the nail on the stamper😂😂
Maybe you could do a completely different mani with that blank space. Not a gradient, but maybe a smoosh mani or marble nails :)
I've been trying to work with vinyls and I cannot get the end result to look as clean as yours :( also I have a clear jelly stamper I got from wish that I tried to do some stamping with and it didn't pick up anything at all, I was using a regular pure ice nail polish...

Lmao!!! Spong bob cut was genius!!!
It seems like using less polish would work better. It wouldn't waste as much, and may blend better.
Hi, where did you buy your Glitter Manicure Mat or nail table pad?
Pathy Macias it’s a piece of scrapbooking paper from Michael’s 😂 I need a new one lol
I hit the Like button mainly because of the story at the end. 😂
Carla Gómez Lol, me too!
Angel you crack me up LOL Thank you for another awesome vid!
i just injured my pinky too! pretty much the same story, except i nicked my pinky with a razor. owie!
Jack Rowe oh no! I hope it heals quickly!
I love your personality😂, TFS!
okay i cringed at the thought of glitters all in my stamping plate, they have to be hard has heck to get out right?
Do you think it took longer with the stamping plate then a sponge?
Stephanie N I’d say since I have it down now so maybe a little quicker because I wait longer for each layer to dry when using a sponge.
twi_star ok thank you for your super quick reply ❤
Oh my gosh I'm early! Horay for stamping plate reviews!
Jessica Scott haha! I love Stamping too I could wear a stamped mani everyday and be happy lol
Haven't the gradient stamping plates already exist? Like they aren't new...many nail art channels have used it before...
I still need this bloody plate. They looked good! Go beast mode....😂😂😂
i have used this plate for everything except the gradient one.
What’s the latex peel ?
Fairy Dust fixes all and its such a sad when you run out like I did!!!!😞😞😞😞
Moi aussi j’ai acheté cette plaque pour les dégradés mais je suis déçue. Je vais faire une première couche avec ça puis une deuxième couche à l’éponge pour le fondu. Merci pour cette vidéo.
Is it weird that I love those fugly colors? 😭 I've wanted a turmeric yellow nail polish for so long and I just can't seem to find one in my country 😭 Also, your videos are lovely and your voice is mesmerizing! The asmr though 😂 ,much love ❤
Did you watch her video? Did you get it to work right?
красиво ,очень получилось! пластина интересная
Have you ever broken a nail
And who do you make your nails so long
It's too much work and results are not consistent for blank image. I used it a lot then decided using a sponge gave better results. I do like her plates. I gave 9 of them.
I like the look!
Love your videos! I miss the background music though
tijana 😂 I went to put music in this one but it just didn’t sound right? Lol but I put a little at the end
I love it. Thank you so much.
I always get in a fight in the bathroom at noon on Saturdays LOL
Can you please do a tutorial for your nails in the beginning! 😍
Amanda Burleson She did them in her previous video!
I've seen this work really well with lots of colors. I can see how fewer colors in your gradient may not blend as well. on the website, it says you can do like a 7 color gradient without issue.

+twi_star Can you do a tutorial on how you place glitter on your nail like you're wearing in this video? Thanks!
CG Fairy Dust fixes everything!
Yep, the scratches saved the WHOLE mani...sorry😢
But it looks amazing now
Awesome look!!!
I'll stick to sponges. A lot easier and they look much better
Reminds me of Easter grass for some reason, no idea why.
Oh my gosh! Now that you've said that it's all I can associate with it xD
It does look like Easter on her nails!
love the end result! :))
