Like many others have said here, I thought that I perhaps was using the wrong polish, the plates weren't deep enough, or my stamper wasn't good or primed. Turns out it was 100% my technique. Not using enough polish, scraping too hard/too many times, and pressing too hard with my stamper. I had not ever had a successful pick up until I watched your video. It was so much fun to finally begin using my plates. Thank you and well done!!

I've been seeing people pick up the image on the stamper, and then paint in the blank space ONTO the stamper, so when they actually go to stamp, it will be a nice colored in image... How are they doing this and do the fill in colors HAVE to be stamping polishes as well? I would love you to make a video tutorial 🙏 But for example, the image is a few daisies 🌼 (or other flowers); they use black stamping (I presume) polish to pick up the image, which is like the outline of the daisies and their leaves, blooms, etc.; With the image's "outline" now on the jelly stamper, they begin to fill in the yellow centers, white petals(even painting OVER the "outline"), the green leaves, etc. While on the surface of the stamper, it looks like a bit of a mess, however, once stamped, it is BEAUTIFULLY OUTLINED AND FILLED IN!?!!? I guess mainly I want to know if it absolutely HAS TO BE STAMPING POLISH??? Aaaaaannnd if you wouldn't mind doing a quick little "watch me work"? Lol please?
@KyongLee4 жыл бұрын
I do have a few videos on this technique, called reverse stamping or advanced stamping. You can use any polishes you want to color in the images but keep in mind that you want to use a thin layer of polish so that it's not too bumpy. Therefore, if you want the colored in image to show on darker base colors you will need pretty opaque polishes. Sheer polishes can look good but you may want to test the combo before doing your nails on a piece of paper, mat, fake nail.

You don't have to use stamping polish as most one coat cremes and chrome finishes will stamp pretty well, especially over lighter colors. However, you may not get the color payoff you want over darker colors using regular polishes. Stamping polishes are designed to be more opaque over any color. For practice though, to get the timing and pressure down, practice with any cheap polish on white paper.

@KyongLee5 жыл бұрын
Most one coat cremes will stamp well. Smooth chrome metallics will too. Over a pale color base almost any color will be fine. The question is how they will look over dark colors. Good stamping polishes are formulated to show up well on darker colors. But for practice, regular polish is fine because you're just trying to figure out the correct pressure and timing. Once you can pick up a good image on the stamper consistently, then you can think about color payoff.

Thank you for a great video tutorial. I’m having trouble with my polish picking up at all. Could it be the polish? I have a clear stamper head that’s squishy, but it won’t pick up the image. I’m not scraping hard or over scraping my plate. The only polish that picks up is the excess that’s left on the surface around the area of the image, so the blobby edges. That’s all. I started to think that maybe it was the polish and tried some dark blue “ice” brand polish. Though not very pigmented and it came across more like a water color without defined edges, the image did pick up. Is there a way to tell if the polish is bad?
@KyongLee5 жыл бұрын
It could be that the polish is drying before you pick up. Try bring super fast. Scrape only once, really lightly and try picking up right away. Have the stamper in your other hand ready to go. Some polishes dry quicker than others, especially in the heat.

Make sure you are not running a fan or AC blowing nearby. Even being near a window can make a difference. Possibly it's the kind of polish you're using. It may just be too quick drying. Try using more polish and scraping more lightly. If nothing helps you just have to be lightning quick when stamping and hope for the best. I always have more trouble stamping during the hot summer days than any other time.

HELPPPPP what to do if you make an error and it smudges or not total transfer and you dont want to spoil your manicure underneath?

If you use a Quick Dry topcoat and let dry before stamping, you can usually remove with tape if stamping is bad. If you didn't use a QDTC, you can try an acetone swipe. Wet a lint free wipe with acetone (be careful of other nails) and do a quick light swipe over nail to remove stamping. You may need a light coat of base color if you remove too much.

@@KyongLee thank you so much just watching more of your videos you make thr pick up and transfer look effortless tfs your knowledge with us and time. I'm in UK we never have as much options on polish and tools as other Countries and if course postage and packaging from abroad adds to cost or a lot more than the product.

You're welcome. Let me know if you have more questions. It can be tricky at first, but once you get it down, it's smooth sailing going forward.
