How to Reverse Stamp, Part 1: Stamper Head Technique - Maniology LIVE!

[@Navycowgirl]

I love that you are showing us on your natural nails. I have a nail length much closer to that than to the longer nails that I have seen typically used how to show designs. It gives me a much more realistic of what I need to do to be successful.

[@tiff8602]

I'm new to stamping and maniology. After hearing this message, maniology will be my go to for my stamping plates. Thank you for speading love.

[@caiticorn]

I've been watching the lives for a few months now (maybe March, April-ish? 2021) but came to look at old vids. I LOVED the intro. Makes me feel even MORE welcome. Thank you, Tiana. 💜

[@arlyeneponce2154]

Got my first order today. I was inspired to order because of your great customer service on Facebook, but before I made my purchase I checked out your website to see who I was going to give my $ to. I really appreciated your inclusive statements at the beginning of this video & online. As a consumer this matters to me and often factors in my decision to purchase or not purchase a product. 💖

[@thequiltybee1263]

Hi Tiana! I’m new to Maniology and really love your introduction and business statement along with all your words of kindness! I look forward to your live videos and tutorials! I love your positive energy!

[@gypsydonovan]

I wasn't expecting the intro to get me all emotional. I love you and I love Maniology. As I watch, I'd note that for me it's easier to use my scraper than Scotch tape. I was never able to do the decal method. I'm not perfect but my reverse stamping is much better since I started working from the stamper. I would never try detail work like that without letting the outline dry completely. I always end up lifting the lines! Watching you is amazing.

[@lisagirlwithspirit]

What a lovely opening, thank you for being so genuine. It's wonderful how we are all strangers behind screens but can come together over simple things that bring us joy. Bravo...and love the mani, thanks for the tips!

[@Maniology]

We're definitely special and unique that we've all connected and built a positive community around nail stamping and nail art.

[@reenapurdy3923]

Been around since Bundle Monster...Maniology continues with new ideas & new products!!

[@joannamccloud]

One technique I personally do is I will take a white Polish and put on a sponge and then sponge spots over the nail just to give it a little bit of light and lift then I stamp and it looks really nice I haven't seen too many people do that but it's something that I do ive demoed it is well.

[@Nails_bruh]

Like as a white background or something else? And I guess I should also ask, on the nail or on another layer of polish?

[@joannamccloud]

@@Nails_bruh for me its over a polish likeni use a medium sky blue I've sponge white and silver on did opi pirouette my whistle on top to mesh then stamped on a black floral print.

[@Xavi-tan]

Your introduction was beautiful and it made me a bit emotional, even more than the first time that I read that on the main site. Thank you for having made the time to speak up and welcome everyone, remind everyone to be kind, and to make sure everyone is seen and noticed, because we are all in this together. I love you, I love the people reading this, and I love the humans all around me. Stay beautiful, everyone, starting with whats inside out to those fingernails. ♡

Hi Tiana! I'm pretty new to the Maniology community, but I'm eager to learn a ton from you and from others. 😊 I just wanted to thank you for the important things you said at the beginning of this video. (I haven't watched the rest of the video yet because I wanted to make sure I thanked you for your stirring words.) We should all approach each other with kindness and appreciation and I'm sure your words resonated with a whole lot of people. I appreciate you, Tiana. Thank you for being your awesome self! 😊

[@Maniology]

You're a sweetheart and thank you for your kind words. I needed to say something from a positive place because I was feeling my own heavy feelings. I'm human, right. But I hope it brightened your day and that we can all learn some really awesome things together. - Tiana

Thank you so much for your opening words. I'm a new Maniology customer; I kept seeing the starter kit offer and finally decided to try it. I was very satisfied with the products in the kit and placed another order. I came to your KZbin channel to learn more about how to do my nails with your products. After hearing the intro to this video, you've solidified me as a return customer. I'm going to sign up for a subscription box, and Maniology is going to be my go-to for nail products from now on. Also, Tiana, you're lovely!

[@Maniology]

Aloha Angela! Welcome to Maniology and I hope along your nail art journey you will continue to feel supported as you grow to be the best nail artist you can be. I hope my message definitely felt heartfelt because it did in fact come from the heart even though I may not be the most comfortable on camera. But thank you for your complements. - Tiana

Hello 👋🏾 What stamping plate are you using for the nail designs?

[@lisadamato979]

What a kind message. You are lovely

[@cherbear113]

Also will gel polish work for base color, cure and then stamp with gel then cure again?

[@gargoyles316]

I'm new to reverse stamping. Can a liner brush be used to color in designs for reverse stamping?

[@Maniology]

Yes you can!

[@staceytrochinsky]

I am having a hard time finding a smudge free top coat in the stores. Any recommendations on what one works that I can buy in stores. Also with the tacky base can you use a gel base coat as it is tacky until you wipe it with alcohol.

[@xxmisstreeonexx]

They sell it on their website for $6 l believe

[@BeadingBee62]

I just recently got back into nail stamping,, after a very bad accident,, and am so excited to find you. Love your videos.. I didn't have time to read all the comments, but I have a question...Can I use either regular top coat or base coat, since I don't have the sticky base coat yet?

[@lisapierce525]

Hi Betsy, I’m new here too but I just wanted to tell you, today I sat down to stamp and forgot to use a sticky base coat over my completed manicure and it stamped perfectly. I had a topcoat on my manicure but I was shocked that it worked. I heard someone say that any base coat will work as long as you stamp while it’s still sticky. My topcoat wasn’t sticky so there you go. Hope this helps and hope you’re recovering well from the accident.

[@BeadingBee62]

@@lisapierce525 Thanks so much for the info. If I don't have to spend the extra money, that also helps. 😉 I'm going to try some reverse stamping next week; it'll take me that long to go through all my plates to find the perfect design. LOL!

[@lisapierce525]

@@BeadingBee62 yeah I understand that. It’s quite a pricey hobby!

[@Mourningdove702]

When the 'sticky base coat' dries... will it always stay sticky or is there a 'window of opportunity' and then it loses the stickiness?

[@Maniology]

Good question. Once the Sticky Base Coat has dried completely, basically it changes it's formula to be a regular base coat. It will not have a sticky surface when completely dried. So if this happens to you or you miss that window of opportunity where the surface is dry, just add more Sticky coat.

[@jenzondo2611]

You didn't wait long after you stamped to do smudge free topcoat. Do you normally do that without it smudging? Do you float it?

[@rebeccachristie2922]

Hello, First off thank you for the beautiful words. Secondly, I am new to Maniology. I am anxiously awaiting rebel yell kit, as well as September's box. My questions are; can I use my gel sticky base and top coats? Also I'm wondering about stamping with gel polishes, is this recommended? If so, do you have any tips or tricks?

[@badazzbish]

What stamp plate are you using? Love it!

[@bees_nail_art82]

How do you keep from pulling up the design without using clear coat over the top? My designs seem to always pull up on to my dotting tool.

[@cherbear113]

Can I use foil glue if I don't have sticky base coat?

[@teresaarnold1922]

I've just finished watching this video, and I thank you for posting it, it's very informative and helpful. My mother's name is Daisy and a niece also named after her. I just checked and the plate appears to be sold out, or discontinued.. Oh well, thanks anyway.

[@rosedolch8637]

Are you using the stamper on gel polish or gel base? I thought the gels dont dry unless you put them under the light... I feel a little confused

[@Maniology]

Hi Rose, the polish used as base is a stamping polish. If you want to use a gel base, you can stamp on top of your completed gel manicure. After you are done stamping, just topcoat with your usual gel top coat and cure a final time. Here's a video showing you how it's done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5_MpJ-bgbZjmbc

I’m about to get into stamping, and I’m extremely excited! However, I feel like this intro was the intro to a cult. It’s honestly not that deep; we all just want cute nails 💅🏻 ❤ Edit: Oh, but I agree, Black Lives Matter. I strictly meant the very beginning stuff, before you switched your phone around

[@erinc6997]

Yes lots of garbage going on... there is power in agreement and as humans we all have things we can agree on.. food, music, art, even nail art unifies us as humans ❤❤❤

[@sweettcreated681]

30 minutes on one nail, times that by 10 and your looking at about 5 hours for a mani 😬

[@caiticorn]

You're right that it's not a quick mani! But in her defense, she's taking probably at *least* double the time she would if she was just doing this to her own hands. Talking through everything, showing each product's name, prefacing steps in the techniques, etc. Also takes coordination & slows things down to do this through a camera lens and make sure she maintains proper lighting. All this to say - it wouldn't take you the full time to do it for yourself. 😊 I've also heard of people coloring in reverse stamping designs & leaving them overnight or even for a day or two & placing them on their nails as a new manicure later. So maybe someone's doing this while watching TV one night & they do their mani later. I've thought about this for nights that I don't feel like doing even a full plain (non-stamped) mani but have a little bit of a nail polish itch. 😉

[@BeadingBee62]

I personally spent 4 hrs. one evening stamping my nails. Certain plates weren't working, certain stampers had to be washed, took me forever to pick colors & designs, etc... Plus, I always do one hand at a time, so I can still do other things if needbe with my unpolished hand (TMI...like going to the bathroom, having a drink/cigarette/playing with my 3 kitties, etc...LOL). Doing your nails, (no matter which way) is not a quick endeavor, especially if you want to get it right. I soooo appreciate all of these folks on KZbin for the time they spend making these videos to help the rest of us. ❤👍
