I was a too dry + too slow and too hard, I didn't have a chance! I have my very first stamp on my finger just now - I'm so grateful!

[@TinyFingersnailart]

@@bradylaura2000 wow! That's awesome, congrats! ❤️ Thanks for sharing :)

[@anonymosmouse]

I thought I was doing everything right but not getting a good pickup. I was worried the polishes I had were drying too fast, because I was working pretty quickly. One minute into this video and I realize you're supposed to ROLL the stamper and not push it down. Thank you so much!!

[@TinyFingersnailart]

@@anonymosmouse I'm so glad to hear this video was helpful! 🤗🧡

[@Kristanne-ue4f]

Same! I rolled though and nothing comes up :’)

[@TinyFingersnailart]

@@Kristanne-ue4f did you try all the things mentioned in the video? Did it work? 🤗 hope it did.

[@RoseA.Dewine]

Excellent video! I was pressing hard and picking up NOTHING! Lol! No other video I've seen mentioned that and ya cant tell if a person is pressing hard or soft by seeing someone do it.💜💜💜

[@claresteen4708]

Thank you for this thorough examination. Mine looks a lot like I used correct technique but rolled too slowly.

[@TinyFingersnailart]

Wow! That's great to hear. I'm glad you made it work 🤗🥳

[@rachaeldarnell470]

Thank you for this video!!! Wish I had this exact one in the beginning of my stamping journey, it would have saved me a lot of time and effort lol

[@TinyFingersnailart]

I know...I've been stamping for a few years now and there were so many things I didn't know at the beginning but figure them out with time and practice. Happy to help people who are just starting, things are way easier now for stamping, don't you think? Thanks for watching 😊♥️

[@ltingco]

Very thorough…thank you so much…I was about ready to give up!

[@TinyFingersnailart]

Thank you! Don't give up, I know it can be frustrating at times but after a while it becomes very easy ❤️💅🏼 keep going!

Can I use regular gel nail polish to for stamping? Thank you, love your videos, you are a great teacher 😊

@@alexandraribeiro144 I don't work with gel so I couldn't give you much info. There are stamping gel polishes though that I imagine work better 🤗

[@jechxy]

Hi Romina, first off thanks so much. I'm a total beginner to nails completely but it's so fun I've now gotten up to stamping and your vids are SO helpful! I didn't catch this, but is it possible to scrape too hard too? I feel like I'm getting most things right but my scrape pressure may be messing up my pick ups :( hope you see this and thanks again!

[@TinyFingersnailart]

Hi! I'm glad to hear that you're finding my videos helpful 🤗 that could also be an issue and maybe you're removing too much polish. I try to scrape only once if possible, tops twice and not too lightly nor too heavy in terms of pressure. Though, I don't think this is a main factor. In my experience what affects the most is the amount of polish used on the plate, the time between steps and the stamper movement and pressure. Hope it helps, thanks for watching! 🤗❤️

[@jechxy]

@@TinyFingersnailart oh yup, lightened up the pressure and I'm pulling images way way better. I was def scraping too hard and the remaining thin polish dried too fast in the pattern wooo thank you!!

[@TinyFingersnailart]

[@kevinkremer6493]

hey , i have a question, sorry if this has already been asked, but what if you follow all tips and your design still has some little holes here and there, im using everything from moyra and i just cant seem to get design to transfer 100%, there is always a few small holes in the design, the only thing i can think of is that the nailpolish just dries or self levels causing the holes?, im just not sure

[@TinyFingersnailart]

Hi! If you're following all the tips on this video, it could be that the polish is too old and it dries up super fast. I'd recommend covering the whole image with polish instead of just half of it and see how that works. If you want, take a quick video of you doing the whole process and you can send me a DM on Instagram so I can have more context to help you out 🤗❤️

[@kevinkremer6493]

thanks for your quick reply, i dont have instagram but i will try some other things, have a nice day.@@TinyFingersnailart

[@simratkaurbring870]

Hi I don't know why my nail stamper not picking little of design even tho I am doing quickly

[@TinyFingersnailart]

Sorry to hear that, it requires some practice. Have you try with a different stamper? You could leave it overnight between 2 sheets of paper and that will remove the excess of oil from the stamper. I hope it helps 🤗

[@Call-me-Al]

If you're still having issues: try a slower drying nail polish. Humidity levels and air temperature will affect the stamping.

[@RoseA.Dewine]

Hiya Ramina! Huge fan here and thank you for teaching me so much and inspiring me even more. Idk if it is necessary to ask you this, but just in case, I am. I filmed my first nail stamping video and I talk about and recommend this video and your youtube channel in the video and want to put a link to it in the description so that if my video leaves unanswered questions, they have yours and also I just want them to find you and have you as a resource. Soooo my question is, is that okay with you? Or do I need to try to edit my mentions of you out? I guess thats actually 2 questions. Lol! And here is a third (sorry). Do you think it's normal and or necessary to ask for permission on something like this? Or just do it and don't make extra work for the other youtuber, in this case, you -- making them have to respond to these questions? Trying to figure out the KZbin etiquette on this? My (soon to be launched) youtube channel called Rose Shows, my focus will be on making my own polishes, reviewing nail products & others polish as well as a lot of non nail related stuff. I thought I should maybe tell you that since its not live yet and therefore you don't have the option to look me over before deciding if you are okay with me talking about and recommending you and your videos. I hope the way I did this was okay.💜💜💜

[@TinyFingersnailart]

Hi Rose! Thank you for such a nice comment. First of all, congrats on starting your KZbin channel, I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun 🤗 I do appreciate you ask about this and I have no problem if you use a link to my channel on your videos. On the contrary, I appreciate that you find my videos useful and want to share them with more people. To answer your 3rd question, as long as you're not using pieces of another's person original videos to make your content, I don't think it's necessary to ask for permission to share a link, as the videos are public and you can for sure talk about that on your channel. Now, if that makes you feel better, you can leave them a comment mentioning that you're using their links as reference just to let them know but to be honest, I don't think it will be an issue. I wish you the best of luck and have fun making your videos 🤗❤️

[@staceybridger2004]

I always seem to have trouble with black polish, not bad stamps just bits missing but still usable. I'm just a beginner so likely my technique?

[@TinyFingersnailart]

Hi! It could be the technique as black polish should stamp very good but it could also be that the polish is too old and it's a bit dry already, in these cases you could apply more polish and see if that's better. I hope it helps 🤗 thanks for watching!

[@agatasemak9600]

What brand is a good stamper because mine is so bad it won’t pick it up at all nothing and that’s cheap and in uk?

[@TinyFingersnailart]

I really like Clear jelly stamper as the head is very soft which works perfectly for my nails. What's up nails is also a good option, though the stamper is a little bit firmer. Twinkled T also has good stampers. I recommend you check their websites, you can see the links on the description of my video. I hope it helps 🤗💜

[@Jude-to7lw]

I have a all new stamping kit, and your worst pick up is still better than mine. I am picking up almost nothing. I’ve tried everything, is this just a matter of practice?

[@TinyFingersnailart]

I'm sorry to hear that. Well, one of the factors is indeed practice but try checking these things: -Did you take off the protective film of the plate? It can be blue or clear -Are you working fast enough? This is one of the most common factors, specially if you're working with regular polishes. -Are you pressing too hard? The rolling motion has to be like "kissing" the plate, super soft. -Have you tried with a different stamper? Maybe yours is not working properly (it's rare but it can be) - Did you wash your stamper with dishsoap and water? You can also tried to put it between 2 pieces of paper overnight. This will leave your stamper cleaner and stickier. I hope it helps 😊❤ don't get discouraged, like everything it takes time and practice. Just keep doing it!

[@Jude-to7lw]

@@TinyFingersnailart Thanks for the reply! I will keep trying until I figure it out. I have tried everything you mentioned and the only thing I can figure out is I may be pressing too hard.

[@TinyFingersnailart]

@@Jude-to7lw if you have a video of you doing stamping, send it as dm to my Instagram so I can see if I can help you better 😊

[@Jude-to7lw]

@@TinyFingersnailart Hi. First let me say how much I really appreciate you willingness to full on help me out. I find that a lot of KZbinrs don’t even reply. Anyway, I figured out my lack of ability to pickup a stamp, was due to me pressing too hard. Thanks so much for your help!

@@Jude-to7lw your welcome! Anytime 😊 I'm glad you found the issue. Have fun stamping! ❤

[@reyno6826]

What black polish are you using?

[@TinyFingersnailart]

I'm using a Maniology polish when I made this video but I don't support this brand anymore. I recommend Moyou London or What's up nails, their black polishes are great 🖤

[@jennifervilleneuve5692]

My design is shrinking when I applied it so I lose details… is it the polish or the technique?

[@TinyFingersnailart]

@@jennifervilleneuve5692 Hi! the design can shrink when the stamper is too stretch out when you stamp. That could be because you're applying too much presure or the stamper is super soft. Does this happen with more than one stamper? Try to use a different one and see what happens. When the polish dries up too fast, it could also shrink the design a bit. I'd recommend stamping polishes or working super fast if you're using regular polishes. I hope it helps 🥰

[@jennifervilleneuve5692]

@ I’m actually using gel polish is that why it’s so bad??

[@TinyFingersnailart]

@@jennifervilleneuve5692 that must be it. There's a special gel polish for stamping, not all of them will work. However, a lot of people use regular stamping polish to stamp over gel 👍
