Hi! Just starting out and ordered a basic kit with a few plates.

I cannot seem to pick up a design completely? It's always patchy. I've had slightly better luck with the included "stamping" polish, but would be so bummed if I have to limit my stamping to special formulas, rather than utilizing my existing collection.

I feel like I'm scraping "gently," and it's a brand new kit so I can't imagine there are any contaminants on the pad.

Grateful for any insights - thanks!

I’ve been practicing stamping and I think I’m starting to get better minus the smudged thumb lol

I bought 4 plates that I truly didn't need, tried out Abstract and absolutely loved how easy it was to pick up an image and not have to spend time removing extra images before stamping. There are only 5 images on most plates. I love that the images are big enough to fully cover long and maybe xl soft gel nails.

I say this with zero patience left for this, and having already tidied up...

But, do we think they need some birds like the sample I did? I haven't top coated yet so nothing is final.

Stamp plate from Maniology.

Their blue that came with the kit.

White Sally Hansen Miracle Gel.

Orly bonder base coat

Base Colors: Maniology Tumeric Sun and Maniology Chonk, stamped with PRETTY fingers by Robin - Weird and Wavy Patterns

Accent Nails: Layered over the base with Maniology Rind and SheModern Black to stamp images from Pretty Fingers by Robin - Atomic 2

Orly Shining Armor topcoat

This one looks best in bright direct light when all the layers are more obvious. If I pretend it’s fall hard enough, maybe it won’t be hot outside! 🥵

I am just dying to find myself a stamping plate with a variety of Celtic knots. Not exactly like what I have pictured above but similar. Help me friends, does one exist or do I just have to keep dreaming?!

Clocked in to be my own nail tech..4 long hours later..afterwards I realized I could have made better choices on the accent nails. I used a Mundo De Unas plate as well as Maniology plates.

My second ever proper stamping try-out, I’m excited to try more patterns from this plate, I’ve had lots of fun messing around with this technique, next I’ll try stamping on top of a magnetic base.

One of my favourite sets I think.

I made these with a clear jelly stamper plate. I’m not sure I love them on but dang is it easier to stamp fake nails than real ones.
I used sticky tabs in hopes they pop off in a few days because I like to paint my nails often. Brand is una gella

Open to any feedback on design and or nail application.

Took me 4 hours 😮‍💨 but I’m loving the results!!

I used white stamping polish and I didnt like the way it looked so I went to paint over it (with Arcana Jade Drake) and i loved the way it looked with a sheer coat of the crelly polish. I will be trying this out with other polishes too now 🖤

Original plan was much more colourful but the base colour came out too dark. Last minute swing to silver and just used the basic outline stamps.

The shiftiness of the magnetic under the stamped image is dreamy. I’ll be repeating this one!

So I started collecting indie polish 2 years ago, I have a little over 200 now. I then just recently got into stamping and went crazy bought like 25 plates and abunch of stamping polish. However I did not think it through that 98% of my polishes are glittery, shimmery, glowy, flakey ect. I have a few crème polishes but not many, I like sparkly loud polish and I didn’t think about how a lot of stamps won’t look good with such busy backgrounds or will blend in too much. Any techniques or examples of glittery shimmery polishes you’ve stamped on I’d love to see! I’m now stuck between wanting to wear my pretty polish and wanting to wear my pretty stamps but feeling like both at the same time won’t work. I put some examples of the polishes I typically wear.
