Thank you for the tips! Here's another tip for anyone still struggling. When I started stamping, I couldn't pick up an image to save my life! Blue film was off, I was sure I was woking very fast, I tried different scraping directions, rolling vs straight up and down techniques with the stamper, and tried all different amounts of pressure. Nothing worked! As a last resort, I tried priming my plates! I figured the blue film could be leaving a residue. I used dish soap and a nylon bristled scrub brush and went over the plates for a few seconds each, then rinsed and dried them very well. Shockingly, I could pick up an image the first time and every time after that! Now it's the first thing I do with all my plates. I've never had any damage or scratching from the nylon brush. You only have to do it once if you're struggling to pick up an image. Just clean the polish off the plate with acetone after that. Hope this helps someone else!
YOU ARE MY LIFESAVER
Oh dear ..
Nothing would stick on the stamp for me too.. !
i felt so stupid...I 'll try it , is it ok with the bristle sponge ?
Thanks a lot 🌹
Omg...I hope this works! I'm watching this video b/c I can't get the stamper to pick up.
Thank you. My first plates are on their way so priming them WILL be the first thing I do.
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❤️❤️
When you peeled the blue film my jaw dropped! I paused the video and ran for my plates.
Tramaine 😂😂😂
lmao
Omg me too 😭😭😂😂
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!
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 💕
No hate but She told about that issue right in the beginning 😊 glad you found out
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 😅😅
Annmarie Flower same
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
heliseyo 😂
Really helpful but very monotone!!
LMAO SAME
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?!
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'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!
thank you so much!!! I'm glad to know I was able to help :)
I've learned a lot about stamping,I was struggling a bit but now I'm going to be the best stamper 👌.
yaaay glad to hear it
Dear help me.. my clear stamp is unable to take the image from the steel stamp design pad.. what to do dear?
Plz tell me how ??
Sasmita Das same problem that I have faced??? Plz guide
nice
The practice rolls do sound weird, but it’s a great idea that I think could be very helpful and I probably would never think of.
If you find her talking to slow you can just change the playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5
thank you
Where do I do that??
@Helliott Helliott thank you
Yeah I did that lol so weird she sounds normal when I speed it up
superman123! Thanks, that was painfully slow
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
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 just got my first stamp set in the mail today and I had no idea how to work it... Thank u girl, u helped me out for sure.
Glad I could help!
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 🙄
My image won’t pick up to my stamper
same....
SAME!
Same
Same
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.
Thanks so much! I'm glad I was able to help :)
Thank you! I’m just delving into stamping. This is the first tutorial I’ve watched so far. So helpful!💓
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!
thank you!! I'm so glad you found this video helpful :)
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.
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 ;)
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
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
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you found this video helpful and I hope you love the bundle monster kit as much as I do!!!
LilypadPolish I am sure I will. BTW, I can't find the yellow stop base coat you spokw about in thw video. Can you please addd a link? Thank you
I just added it to the description box! You can find it at Sally's Beauty or on Amazon :)
LilypadPolish thank you. Great job! Don't listen to the hater. Please make a video on how to remove the nails and clean up your tools😉
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❤
i love that haha thank you so much!! ❤️
That scene is one of my all-time favorites!!!
you’ve made an amazingly detailed video, thanks a lot. i’m really grateful for how thorough this content is. bless
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 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!!!
Thank you so much, April!! I'm happy that I was able to help and I'm sure you and your daughter's nails are going to look gorgeous!
You remind me of my cousin . I had to give u the thumbs up .
So country . Lmao
Plus u had me stamp correctly .
Good work woman
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!
thank you so much!! this means a ton, I'm glad I was able to help :)
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!!
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.
Beauty takes time and patience
May my original Konad stamping plates that were tortured with the original metal scrapers, Rest In Peace.
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.
That's great, I really do love that stamping kit, I highly recommend. Thanks so much :)
I just got a stamper kit and liquid latex like 2 minutes ago and I’m already watching a video for it
I’m sooo excited
Thank you, this is super informative.
thank you for watching! :)
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 this video. It gave me a lot of great info on stamping. Im sorry other people were jerks. I think you did a great job.
Thank you for your comments. Just got a bunch for my birthday. Can’t wait to try it
Is it possible to stamp with gel polish? I have switched all of my polishes to uv curing gel polish but if i try to stamp with them the image will not pick up
unfortunately it doesn't work very well with gel polish and it's very hard to stamp. I'd recommend using stamping polish or even regular nail polish :)
For me, the nail polish does not go on the stamp but stays on the stencil
Thank you.....the directions didn't tell me to pull anything off!!! After all the videos, you were the first!!!
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
yaaay I'm so happy to help. Hopefully all of your stamping goes well! Thanks :)
I fell asleep
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'm going back to nail art and putting acrylic nails and applying different methods for nail art is very important to me. :)
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've heard their stamping polishes are amazing too! I definitely want to buy a few and try them out.
Play at 1.5 speed to make the video shorter and have it still feel normal.
lmfao
This video was very helpful! Thank you so much for covering everything for us!
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
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 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.
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
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! 🎄🎅
Fantastic video tutorial, you covered almost all of my questions but one and that is do you have to do any kind of prepping for the plates when you first start using them like you do for the stampers? Thanks again and I can't wait to get started!
I don't usually do anything but clean it with some nail polish remover, just to make sure that my stamper doesn't pick up anything other than the polish! Thanks :)
The sticker which we have used we can be used again also by raising the nail polish from the sticker
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!
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.
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?
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
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
I looked up a stamping video because I really am having trouble with getting my picture to pick up onto the stamper
Thanks, very helpful video. Haven’t tried nail stamping, but I’m ready to get a kit and try it🙂
I'm trying Maniology stamping plates.
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?
Quick question, how do you clean the stamper? Like leftover polish? I feel like I'm damaging mine...
I use a lint roller
I'm just a beginner at stamping also, I just bought a whole bunch of stamp plates.
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 :)
Ty for all the detail you put in to your instructions. I have picked up a lot of your tips and will use them for sure.
you are so welcome! I'm glad it has helped :)
I have a cheap one I bought in aliexpress for $2 but had great reviews. well I’ve watched 3 videos on how to stamp because the stamp doesn’t stick to the stamper. I don’t know why
Assuming that your stamper and stamping plate is working properly, I would just have to recommend trying a different technique. Whenever I buy a new stamper, it usually takes a little bit of trial and error to figure out what works best. I hope this helps!
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
Can we also use uv gel polish with this? How about acrylic paint?
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?
It bleeded? 😂 It BLED.
Laurie 💀💀💀
This helped me out a lot . My problem is my stamper .
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
I got a stamping kit from Amazon for about $2, works pretty well for the price range
My problem is that the silicon stamp ing stamper moves. Is it because the holder of silicon is broken.
Can you please demonstrate how to use the big glass stamper
Very helpful. But one question do you needs special nail color. Cause the imagine comes very light
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.
My stamper won't pick up every time. It takes a few tries before I can get the image to stick. I have to start all over because I think the polish is drying or now on right. Feels so wasteful.
I've tried stamping for the first time a couple days ago and couldn't get it... but I'm determined to get it.
I was swiping the product off wrong lol. I didn't think it would make a difference but apparently it does.
Do you have a video showing how to use the pueen stamping kit?
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
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 :)
No matter what I do my stamp isnt picking up. Ive tried two brands of stamps, regular polish, and two brands of stamping polishes. Ive tried warming up the plate, cleaning with acetone, applying to a matte surface, shiny…..any help? Yes ive removed the film on the plates
Great video! I am new to stamping and look forward to watching your other videos!
Ok thank you I'll keep practicing and see how I do
For people that have problem with picking an image up on the stamper: you might just be too slow. There shouldn't be more than 5 seconds between putting the polish on the plate and applying it to your nails.
I can't get my nail stamper to pick up the design what am I doing wrong?
Great information. Bleeded isn't a word - you should have said bled.
haha thank you! You're totally right, thanks for letting me know :)
Can do a video of the powder stamps because I powder and not polish
for some reason it wont work at all. ive removed the blue film.. idk if that was supposed to go back on but no matter what it wont stick
Do normal polishes work on stamping plates?
Great, informative stamping video! Thanks. Loved all the details and recommendations.
thank you so much! I appreciate it.
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
My dumb butt really has had the salon express one for years and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t work..... I didn’t take the film off 😂
OMG..YOU WERE VERY GOOD ! ! ! very thorough, nice job
thank you so much, I appreciate it
