EVERYTHING You Need to Know About Nail Stamping! (Nail Polish 101) || KELLI MARISSA

[@thenailpolishbottle7267]

Here is a life changing stamping nail art hack: apply a layer of clear polish over the base color and let it dry for about 30 seconds. This way the base will be a bit tacky and the design will transfer perfectly every time!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh thanks for sharing this trick!!!

[@BillytheBrime]

I like to use yellow stopper since it dries with a slight tacky finish. I think Maniology sells a sticky top coat for stamping.

[@hongjiae]

Huh, that's interesting. If my base layer is too glossy and/or completely dry, I usually take a buffer block and buff the top layer. And that's always worked for me.

[@ACWells13]

LA colors top and base coat is great for this, it stays tacky for about 10min after trying for 60s. Great if you're a little slow with your transferring and the stamping polish is drying too quickly to stick to your nails :)

[@deshadriancampbell7173]

I use rubberized base coat to do this. But top coat works too!!

[@thebudgetlifestyle1656]

I really liked how you admitted that you hadn't mastered the advanced stamping of make a decal. Its refreshing to hear an experienced individual admit that not everyone needs to do it all perfectly!

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha oh yes I definitely struggle with lots of types of nail art :P

[@hannahstoysich4593]

Yes bc I am STRUGGLING I got this for Mother’s Day and I’m trying to figure it out 😩😂 this is tough so I’m glad you said that😂

[@miss_jess]

I've been stamping since Maniology was called Bundle Monster! My tip is to make your decals using the silicone mat (instead of painting onto the stamper), that way you can do all 10 at once (and make sure they're perfect), then lift them off and apply to your nails. You may have to trim the decal to make it fit your nail if it's a whole nail design.

[@karmenkay28]

I have a tip for advanced stamping, instead of coloring it in and adding top coat to make it into a decal. Let the design completely dry on top of the stamper, and add a sticky base coat to your nails before applying the stamp. I don't remember where I learned this but I could never do advanced stamping when making a decal but I've never had a problem doing it the sticky base coat method. Hope this helped!! 💖

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh thanks for sharing!!!

[@nda7154]

Karmen Moser I do this too!

[@tkemp710]

This is how I do mine as well. I use Orly rubberized base. It stays sticky for a while so you can do multiple stamps on the same nail. It’s great!

[@limabean1384]

Wuuuuut. Sticky base coat.. 😮👍

[@jenthebubble1914]

[@xjessirae]

I use dotting tools to color in my stamping designs when I do reverse stamping. I let it dry completely while I use yellow stopper on my nail. Everything transfers perfectly!

[@emilyrobles5171]

A few tips/tricks: Instead of using nail polish or stamping polish, you can use acrylic paint! If you do not want to invest in a mat, a ziplock baggie works just as well! I actually reuse mine all the time and it works so well :)

[@nacollebuzzell6120]

What do you use to get the paint out of the stamping tray? I was wondering if paint might work too 🤔😁

[@sajanailsart3366]

Also a quick tip that have made my life so much easier and I don’t know why a lot of people don’t know about it! Use a water based top coat when you stamp or when you do nail art if you don’t want to smudge your design and after it completely dries, you could apply your favorite top coat. The one I use is from essence cosmetics called “melted chrome” and it’s pretty affordable 💕

[@JilliesNails]

The no smudge topcoat is a water based topcoat. :) You can literally stamp it on to keep it from smearing!

[@KelliMarissa]

Yes the maniology top coat is water based! It's a lifesaver :)

[@katleigh4460]

Another great video Kelli. I too found nail stamping so difficult and nearly impossible when I first tried it a few years ago. The use of silicone has completely changed the game for nail stamping. I also was one to say that stamping polishes were not necessary in the beginning, but have found that when it comes to the non-cream type choices, stamping polish is a must. With the cream type colors you can usually get a decent job done with a highly pigmented and opaque polish. Your videos are so great, and I love how you give info about the basics needed to get started without emptying your savings account. Because it is really frustrating to spend a ton of money on all the supplies needed to try a technique out only to find out that it isn't really something you are into. There is no doubt that once you find that you love a particular technique there are endless companies and suppliers where you can find all the specialty products that can take your results to the next level of awesome. And that can get a bit pricey,. Honesltly though, who can put a price on doing something that brings you joy and makes you feel beautiful, I ask. There is a learning curve that is involved, of course. Timing is something that ony practice can solve. Which is why the more economical choices are so important when you are finding your groove. Thank you so much for posting such awesome videos. I have watched so many channels where the person really did not know what they were doing or what they were talking about. And don't even get me started on the technical quality of the video itself. OMG UGH!!! Not so with your videos. They are well made, with useful and concise information provided. I also thinki it is really great that you are comfortable saying that there are some techniques, like advanced stamping, that you haven't mastered. Because, let's be honest, some of this stuff can be really difficult to learn and then even more to do well. So thank you for not being perfect. I know I appreciate it. Really, I think you do an amazing job. So thank you for all your effort. Hope you have a beautiful and blessed day.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh that means so much to hear, Kat!! And I totally agree on all points. Stamping used to be such a point of frustration for me and I spent so much money only to find it didn't really work. Now the game has totally changed, and I really love doing it!!

[@rparstar]

Thanks for this! I tried stamping years ago and I couldn't get it to work, recently tried again this winter and I finally got the image to pick up. Having really opaque polish that's meant for stamping seriously helped. It takes some experimenting and practice but it's worth it. I'd love another stamping nail art video!

[@KelliMarissa]

I feel like stamping polish made SUCH a difference for me!!

[@sharipolk7204]

Great video! My daughter and I love the Sharpie stamping technique. You should look into it! Also, I have found that if I spray some aerosol hairspray on my design and let it dry, I can use my regular top coat (I use gel) without smudging. Just a fun little trick for those who don't have the Maniology No Smudge TC. I'd love to see a nail art video with some of your stamping ideas. Always looking for inspiration!

[@hopingforjustone]

I’ve been stamping religiously since January of this year (when I began my natural nail rehab journey) I looove it! It’s sooo fun and simple to do, once u get the hang of it...I found the pueen stamper at WM for $3 and bought a backup because I looove it so much ❤️

[@liannangel2004]

Really, thank you for the video. I was just about to do my nails for the week when I saw the notification for your video. Maybe it's a sign? I have over 50 stamping plates, but have NEVER been able to stamp a design on my nails properly. Not once, EVER! I gave up trying over a year ago. During this quarantine I said I was going to practice stamping, but I haven't even opened the box that holds all my stamping supplies. I don't remember if I have a clear stamper. I might need to buy one. I don't remember if I have bought anything from Maniology, but I do remember buying a lot of stuff from them when they were about to change their name from Bundle Monster. All the stuff had the old name, so they had some really great sales in stuff. Okay, I'm going to stop procrastinating now. 😅 Thanks again for the video and hopefully the next time I try stamping my nails I will have better luck!😊

[@ShadowsEcho1990]

The big (clear) Pueen stamper available at Walmart is my absolute favorite. Ever since I bought it, I've actually had a hard time finding an image that it couldn't pick up. 10/10 would recommend!

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha! I seriously feel your pain - I struggled with stamping for so long. I feel like the new stampers are significantly easier to use than the old ones! Maybe try picking up a different stamper and see if it helps!

[@BalletPink]

Once I was pretty much into watching stamping videos, then bought all the stamping supplies. But I realized that it's not as easy as it looked! 😅 I wanted to try layered design, but now I'm happy if one pattern transfers more or less complete to my nail! 😅

Yes!!! I'd love to see more stamping. Last September, while under the influence of post surgery narcotics, I bought a kit and it's been collecting dust. You have motivated me! (Those warnings about not purchasing things while you're taking narcotics is so correct. I had my phone set up with one touch pay and the first three weeks after my surgery, I started having packages getting delivered almost every day. Most of it was nail polishes from a bunch of different indie brands. It was like Christmas... Until I got my credit card bill and realized I had charged almost $1,000 while I was on my medication.)

[@miss_jess]

There's no one brand of polish that you can say is uniformly good for stamping, because opacities vary wildly within brands. I have found that a lot of my OPI polishes are thick/pigmented enough for stamping, but not all. My recommendation is to invest in stamping polishes for key outline colours (like black and white), then use your more pigmented regular polishes for filling in designs.

[@katinadiep9268]

[@katinadiep9268]

Insta Dry from Sally Hansen in red worked for stamping. Some shades I found were too thin. Regular Essie in hot pink is opaque for stamping over a white base. And the white from Sinful Colors is pretty good as a base or for stamping. The Pueen kit includes a black and white that are amazing. The Pueen metallics collection is tricky, it works best with larger forms. Small designs don't always pick up and it dries really fast.

For a cheap alternative to the nail art mat, I do all my polishing and stamping over a gallon ziplock freezer bag I cut open - you can use acetone on it safely, it catches all spills, and you can peel dried polish off. It's not opaque and you don't get the nifty finger outlines, but I find it works well for me and I didn't have to buy anything. Have you tried MoYou London stamping polishes? I know their stamping plates are good, but I don't see many people talking about the polishes and they're pretty expensive for such little bottles - I'm wondering if they're really different enough to be worth the price.

I have some tips for you if you don’t already know them but to clean my plate I use tweezers to hold the cotton so I don’t ruin my nails (have I done that too many times 😂) And for the reverse stamping technique where you color in directly on the stamper I personally don’t like putting a top coat and using it as a decal because if you make it smaller than your nail then it will « raise » in the sides, even after putting top coat over it. I do a different technique that changed my life 😂 I do my design, color in, let it dry and then I apply the final coat of color on my nail, let it dry only one or two minutes until it’s still a bit tacky but not wet and you apply your design on and it transfers perfectly 😍

Ooh yay thanks for sharing your tips! Genius with the tweezer idea!!

[@Shelmz3]

Thank you for the tips! I noticed my polish would dry really fast as well. Then I touched my stamping plate and it was freezing. Will try using my body heat to warm up the plate before I try it next time

Did I buy both the Kelli Marissa collaboration plate and the french manicure plate recently, YES I DID!! 😍❤️🌌

[@skiptomyluludarling8519]

I am so glad they made the clear stampers. I’ve only done it twice. And that was without a clear one. My designs were never in the right position. 🤭 Now I’ve got a clear one. So I’m really hoping it’s as fool proof as you make it look. I would love to see more stamping videos in the future. Maybe even combining it with gels. I’m still curious if that would work. 🤔

[@KelliMarissa]

Omg SO much easier with the clear stamper, I can't believe how we ever did it without a clear one LOL

[@hippodance]

Oh my gosh, this came at the absolute perfect time! Was looking for some pointers & tips!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ahh yay I hope its helpful!

[@whitefluffydogs9278]

OK! I’ve thought about stamping for a while. A quarantine is a good time to start! I’d love to see another video on this.

[@jaids_place]

Loved this tutorial! Would love to see a video compilation of some finished stamping manis. TFS Kelli ❤

[@FanofFoulLanguage]

I’ve just recently started stamping my nails and absolutely love it!!

[@katinadiep9268]

So fun!

[@kristinkraskacatterson2026]

Yes! Stamping! I've just gotten into it too and obsessed with creating nail art using stamping!

[@KelliMarissa]

It's so much fun, I feel like I go through waves of wanting to do tons of stamping and then I stop for months LOL

[@kristinkraskacatterson2026]

@@KelliMarissa I love watching your tutorials, you explain everything VERY well and they are easy to understand. You're also a really cool chick and are all around fun to watch. :)

[@stacym6076]

I watched your older stamping video recently before I ordered a bunch of stamping plates and supplies from Amazon. I can't wait for them to start arriving so I can try this. And thank you for this update 😊

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh man you're gonna have so much fun!!

[@Haysalto]

This video is giving me motivation to get into stamping again! I’ve been doing nail art for so long and used to experiment with stamping when I first started out and I just could NEVER master it! I think I had a lot of trouble picking up the design with my stamper :( I have this awesome gaming themed maniology plate that I’ve been wanting to utilize forever but I’ve never had the motivation to try it out again! I think I’m gonna try and give it a shot soon 🖤

[@robynl.5936]

Awesome video, Kelli! Stamping is what got me into doing my nails all the time. Unlimited creativity! I agree that Maniology is the best. Going to use your galaxy plate today to jazz up my current manicure. Happy stamping!

[@KelliMarissa]

Now I wanna stamp galaxy stuff over my manicure too haha!!

[@robynl.5936]

@@KelliMarissa If you want to see what I did , I put it on IG.

[@ivanamurphy6917]

I just watched this video a few days ago and I’m back to say I used your code for maniology!!!! Thank you I can’t wait to start stamping for the first time!
