Timeless Classic French Manicure Tutorial with Nail Stamping - Maniology LIVE!

[@amberhuffman3703]

I want this plate so badly I could cry. A beautiful French is so timeless and classic and who doesn't love a French Mani 🤷🏼‍♀️😍💕💕💕

[@pgScorpio]

For stamping large areas like these, in my experience it's better to use less polish (just enough) and one, verry flat, scrape with a mini scraper (thinner and more flexible?). This gives far less to no gaps. In general I find the mini scrapers absolutely better performing anyway.

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

I just ordered this plate and now I'm here looking for tutorials to hold me over until it ships. Not sure why you were rushing through this. It would have been great to see you take your time and give more tips! The mani still turned out amazing tho, very pretty!

[@Maniology]

We'll try to come up with a longer video featuring this plate 🤗💖

[@sayladytea]

This is my favorite plate. Stamps beautifully!!!

[@seeme111]

Just bought this base coat love it I already have the plate

[@krystler7703]

I'm planning out a black tipped french mani and I'm definitely going to use this plate for it! I'm curious about the cuticles oil before the top coat. Will the oil cause any issues with the top coat with peeling or longevity? I always thought I had to wait for my mani to be 100% dry and complete before applying cuticle oils or butters. Love your products and I use them all the time!

[@user-rm1mq9oq6t]

Good question Let me know if you find an answer

[@marabalale630]

I would wait until all is dry before apply any oils

[@Maniology]

Good question, the cuticle oil shall be applied when your polish is all dry. Do not apply any oil or hand cream/butter as it will prevent the nail polish/topcoat from adhering to your nail. Hope this helps! ♥

[@MsJodiArias]

I want that scraper! It’s so cute!

[@claudiachampagne9144]

Absolutely love!!!

[@ProudlyPolished-zd9ck]

Looks nice and simple think I might do this not sure what to do on my nails might try a different colour for the tips been sick looking after a 6 month old 6 year old etc

[@snafu8203]

I bought this plate because I don’t have a steady enough hand to create any clean lines/nail art. It’s very helpful. And, you can use any color or multiple colors (skittle) to tip your nails. It’s fun to create different looks and you don’t have to use to just tip your nail. You can create vertical or horizontal curved stripes on your nails or just an accent nail. Have fun with it!

[@Maniology]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindapeasley3389]

Must try this plate today!!❤

[@debober9270]

I just ordered your starter kit. Can't wait to try and master it with your tools. My salon just upped their prices. I ordered a different brand stamper. Nice and squishy, but it wasn't see-through so I couldn't tell if it was straight.

[@Maniology]

Hope you have fun stamping. If you have questions or encounter any issues, please feel free to reach out to us!

[@OliviaAlexandra27]

If you guys recommend using the monocle stamper with this plate then why isn’t this the stamper that comes in the French manicure kit? That’s a bummer. Your French kit comes with the cube, yet you recommend the monocle for this plate! ?!

[@Maniology]

We appreciate your feedback and understand your concern. The choice of stampers in our kits is often based on various factors, including the overall kit design and compatibility with different plates. While the French Manicure Kit includes the cube stamper, the recommendation for the monocle stamper with specific plates is made to ensure optimal results for intricate designs. We strive to offer a versatile range of products, and your input helps us improve our offerings. If you have any specific preferences or suggestions, we'd love to hear them!

[@TheOriginalLexa]

I ju#t love a good, perfect French mani 💖

[@ReverendJMoon]

If you apply cuticle oil before the top coat, could it interfere with the top coat adhering properly? I would hate to go to so much effort on a pretty manicure for it not to last.

[@Maniology]

Yes, it will not adhere properly and will cause the topcoat to form bubbles

[@michellemsaylor]

I have this plate. The design never comes out solid. I've tried different amounts of stamping polish and different amounts of pressure while scraping. What can be done to correct this?

[@Maniology]

Sorry to hear that! You may have to adjust your technique depending on the type of design. The french plate in particular has a lot of negative space whereas other plate designs are more fine lines. For the french plate, scraping lightly is key. If you remove too much polish, you will have a hard time picking up the entire space. Here's a short video you can watch: uploads.gorgias.io/1QNmd2Yezn29XA0W/video-1634238568.mp4-19527f65-8200-427d-8149-90bdff5ca74a.xx%26oh%3D9f1b0172f12b5bb4e0b0d80fc49cb062%26oe%3D61697108?__hstc=187360119.8becb6f5f0e2575a5b82b15cda0d5602.1637365941202.1648789663592.1648792385023.424&__hssc=187360119.5.1648792385023&__hsfp=1566084869. Hope this helps!

[@betsylang9607]

Very Pretty , you put oil on & then the top coat. I didn't see if you wiped it or not, would the oil affect the top coat ? & Does the plate come with the Stamper & Directions ?

[@Maniology]

Applying cuticle oil before top coat is generally fine, but make sure it's fully absorbed to prevent interference with top coat adhesion and drying. If there's excess oil, gently wipe it off before applying top coat. This maintains nail health and flexibility while achieving a smooth finish. Hope this helps!

[@kamillagirl]

Can we get a video explaining how to size with the other French images? Mostly the other 2 below the one used? I feel my smile lines are more pronounced and like I'd need the bottom, most curvy ones, but it seems like you made it work with one not as curvy. Unless Chris's weren't as pronounced?

[@Maniology]

It's actually just a personal preference which is why we tried to include different sizes, width, and curves on the plates. 😉🥰

[@marabalale630]

Would it work if I fill the gaps on the stamper instead of touching up on the nail? I feel I would mess it up😬

[@Maniology]

You could if you'll move very quickly. 😉 The reason we recommend filling the gaps on the nail is to avoid the stamp from drying before stamping it onto the nail. 😊

[@Flipper2012]

I’m sorry but what a horrible job. Crooked and messy.

[@lilianapacheco2243]

I couldn’t agree more

[@maayananer5962]

Will this work with gel nail polish?

[@Maniology]

Yes! 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

[@paigemazur5868]

Please do an ombré video with the big square area on the plate!

[@Maniology]

We do have a video showing how to use that design here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJi8ioF9pMSAic0. Hope this helps!

[@paigemazur5868]

@@Maniology I know but it would be helpful to get an updated video! And see different colors of ombré☺️

[@Maniology]

@@paigemazur5868 You got it! We'll try to make a new video using different colors 😉

[@kamillagirl]

So I thought the whole reason for cleaning the nail beds before painting was to remove oils so that the polish lasted longer. So how much polish life was taken off this manicure by applying cuticle oil all over, getting it on the nail beds, before applying the top coat?

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Niiice 😍

[@winnielane]

Quick question…the base coat is out of stock. Do you know what the normal restock time is?

[@Maniology]

Hi Cindy, thank you for your interest! We generally restock in 2-6 weeks, please sign up for our restock notification to be the first to know when it's back in stock!

What are those purple things in the nails?

[@Maniology]

It's a Latex-Free Cuticle Protecting Adhesive Nail Tapes, to be placed around your nail beds and wrap around your fingertip to keep any unwanted polish off your skin. It makes it easier to have a clean perfect stamp :)

[@MMDavis-dw2fu]

Can the cutical tape be reused?

Hi! it's disposable for one time use only. Thanks!

[@Kistan12]

Look like professionally done? The French tips are spotty…I don’t know why you left it like that without filling in the holes. Why rush? I was cringing when you were trying to go over the empty spots but it was like using whiteout over the initial polish. So many flaws….I would never accept this result at a nail salon!
