Thanks for the constructive criticism! In the future I'm going to try to bunch more similar tools and colors together in 1 frame so the materials section goes by faster

[@elleandish]

Truthfully I am the happiest I have ever been in my life...and I'm very motivated :D

[@elleandish]

Yes of course! :) You can use a fine nail art brush dipped in nail polish if you don't have Konad plates.

[@rrabbabbusskka]

Awwwwwwwwwwww. Indeed, this is a very cute nail art tutorial. Also, the index finger looks very simple yet fabulous.

[@elleandish]

I'm flattered! Thank you for watching

[@elleandish]

The best polishes for stamping are very thick and opaque. Konad makes some special stamping polishes (try Amazon or Ebay) but regular polishes can work too. The thing is though, that some formulas may be more sheer and less vibrant. I used some regular polishes here, as you can see. It's all trial and error to find good polishes for stamping.

[@halp4733]

My favorite design was definitely the ombre stripes! Awesome techniques! Keep making amazing videos and happy Valentine's day!!!!

[@titiwhisper]

I personally think the way your videos are done are perfect...they're very well put together and thought out. It looks like you take your time with your ideas for theme of your videos based on the nail polish look you are doing. I personally wouldn't change a thing :)

[@elleandish]

I recommend bornprettystore(dot)com and lightinthebox(dot)com because they have good prices for Konad stamping items and they ship internationally for free. Best of luck to you and thank you for watching! :D

[@Cosmicpassports]

Your responses to any sort of criticism is commendable. I love your attitude almost as much as I love your videos :) Great work, and stay positive! Namaste xoxo

[@dianbear]

Please keep doing konad stamping nail art videos! You're so creative and pro at creating new looks! keep it up!!

[@janicewright681]

I am loving that glitter! my favorite colors pink purple gold silver light green red and all of the above.

[@elleandish]

You're very welcome! Good luck with stamping and I hope you like it! :D

[@Bebeleriki]

I don't know how many times I've watched this tutorial! All time favourite!

[@elleandish]

Hi ladies! :D I'm trying to do better with my voice overs. I'm a very shy person in general and I'm getting used to talking to myself in an empty room through a mic! And it is quite awkward. Hopefully you'll see a difference in my newer videos. It's a bit hard to change my natural voice... this is how I speak. ;D Anyway thank you for watching and subbing :D I just wanted to say thank you. :}

[@LiaGough]

Great tutorial, clear and simple to follow. It's nice that you speak so softly too, makes it easy to listen to... Keep up the awesome work :) x

[@elleandish]

You *don't* have to use them if you don't want to. But Konad polishes are formulated to produce a more opaque & clear stamp. SOME regular polishes can work well... It all depends on the formula & after trial and error.

[@elleandish]

Agreed :) I don't have a lot of time or the skill to freehand designs on both hands so I prefer stamping. The only disadvantage is the cost but then again plates are usually only a few dollars :D

[@kygt5470]

that rainbow colors lined up designation is gorgeous!

[@sabrinaaseme8903]

You do the BEST nail tutorials!

[@VerenaBlume]

this is the cutes and prettiest nail design i've ever seen! ♡ i always end up watching this and i don't even know why :D

[@emmavandijk3481]

I like this nail tutorial a lot!! I also like it that you don't have that long nails as the other people that post nail tutorials!

[@HuskiroJennie]

You are absolutely awesome! At first my mum didn't let me use nail sticker art, but now that I've found an even CHEAPER, CONVENIENT and DIY way to do nail art flawlessly. I have already made my offer on ebay and on the way to purchasing. Helloooo~ nail art heaven

[@elleandish]

Yup! The Konad polishes are formulated for stamping, but you can use regular polishes if you want. Some may work better than others though.. see my Konad Basics video for more info and a list of non-Konad polishes that work :)

[@JoCraw]

A really adorable valentine's look

[@elleandish]

Ebay or Amazon... you can usually get packs of 2 or more for under $3

[@TheCraftyNinja1]

So cute! My favorite nail design is creating hearts!

[@LollyRaiinbow]

I really love your videos! I discovered them yesterday and I just find them so professionally made! Also the music choices are really good! I have to say that I was a bit sceptic because I don't own the stamps and plates, but I'm definitely considering buying them now! Thank you so much for posting these videos and keep your awesome work up! Love from Austria! :D

[@elleandish]

Thank you Keyz :D

[@elleandish]

Please see my Konad Basics video for details :D

[@foulmemories]

This was the first video I saw from you some months ago. Now, this song is my ringtone, I am your subscriber, and you, beatiful lady, are my favourite nail guru! :)

[@lindalemoni5428]

i actually like that your voice sounds so normal and not too hyper

[@Jasminexoxx]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the effort you put into your tutorials ! I'm a new subbie and I'm loving what i'm seeing soo faaaaar! keep it up you're super talented!

[@Steph121393]

Absolutely loved this tutorial! I've been looking for how u was gonna du my nails for Valentine's day. I loved th fact u used konad stamping! I hve a very shaky hand so I always rely on my konad plates, Thnks sooo much! :) very easy, simple yet very pretty :)

[@elleandish]

No some are regular polish :) I use both Konad and non-konad polish for stamping. Please see my "Konad Basics" video for comparisons and more info! :D (It's on my channel page, just scroll down to the Konad playlist. Thanks!

[@elleandish]

This was one of my first videos. I'm working on my voiceovers for newer videos but no matter what I do there will always be a people that won't appreciate it. Feel free to mute me if you dislike the sound of my natural voice.

[@beautydaisy04]

You deserve like 1 million subscribers love your videos. You put so much effort into them :)

[@MsFelies]

I'm addicted to you channel, particular this video!! Love it all :)

[@elleandish]

A good line of polish to try is the Sally Hansen Insta Dry polishes. They're normally very thick.

[@yolondris]

i love the way you make all the nails different

[@elleandish]

Not necessarily. :) Some polishes can work well, as long as they're thick. The Sally Hansen Insta Dry polishes can work. When I first started I used regular drugstore polish. Some are too sheer, or dry too quickly. It's all a matter of trial and error to see which polishes stamp clear enough. Hope that helps!

[@fashionsketch4mylife]

i absolutely love yor tutorials. i love the diferent designs on each nail!

[@elleandish]

This was one of my very first videos... I didn't know that voiceovers had to sound "animated" when I first started out and it was much more difficult than I had originally thought. I wish I could re-upload it and re-record the audio because I think I've improved on my voiceovers.. hopefully you can tell the difference in my newer tutorials! :D

[@elleandish]

You are too kind. Thank you

[@elleandish]

This was one of my very first videos... I wish I could re-upload it and re-record the audio because I think I've improved on my voiceovers.. hopefully you can tell the difference in my newer tutorials! :D

[@elleandish]

I've never used a plastic scraper unfortunately so I wouldn't be able to give you a definitive answer. My scraper is metal... it scratches the plates a bit but it doesn't affect the stamping results.

[@elleandish]

I have some links in the description box for specific products, but I mostly get Konad stuff from amazon and ebay. Please see my Konad Basics video for details.. there's a few konad products and alternatives in the description box :D

[@allisonaaliyahgonzalez5504]

i love this design its so simple and easy

[@elleandish]

Thank you :D

[@tnhxox]

I am glad I saw this. I used to paint the whole design and that used a lot of polish.

[@sirensbeauty]

They are gorgeous nail designs!

[@elleandish]

Thank you for the encouragement :)

[@madelinestone2327]

makes me want nail stamps 10000 more ... love it! very creative

[@silverrbullet15]

You're honestly the best on youtube

[@zoeybouroutzi5221]

I have seen almost all of your videos and I admire your talend! I really hope that some day, I will be able to make such beautiful designs! Keep going!

[@elleandish]

Maybe a few minutes? I think the most critical thing is actually the amount of topcoat you apply onto the nail... put down a big drop of topcoat in the center and then smooth it out quickly, putting as little pressure as possible onto the nail surface. Good luck!

[@elleandish]

The software list used for each video is in the About section of my channel page. Thanks!

[@rosiejohnson1437]

You make it look soooo easy! I know if I tried any of your looks, I'd mess up, haha. But you're so talented!! All your designs are beautiful :)

[@elleandish]

Perhaps the polish dries up before it can get picked up! Try to practice doing the steps quickly... quickly apply the polish, scrape it off, and stamp. Best of luck to you! Please see my Konad basics video for more info if you haven't seen it already :)

[@serenabee3603]

You have the best nail art tutorials!! Great job Keep it up :)

[@desireemerida2840]

I love your tutorials so much they are the best ones I ever seen💖

[@boxedgarden]

I don't understand how I didn't find your video much earlier... your designs and ideas are GREAT!! wanna try some of them! good job making vids!

[@elleandish]

Mostly Ebay, Amazon or the Born Pretty store :D

[@Fayryy]

I love this tutorial. You are so good at designing, and the stamping is amazing.

[@jadefernandes1414]

you're really awesome. Best tutorials. Short and to the point.

[@elleandish]

Thanks for watching Jade :)

[@elleandish]

For stamping the "I heart U" stamp on the pinky :)

[@elleandish]

You don't have to use Konad if you don't want to :) You can use drugstore polishes! :D see my "Konad Basics" video for more info.. there's also a list of drugstore dupes for Konad polishes in that video's description box. I hope that helps!

[@kf6647]

Hi!!! I learn soooooo much from your awesome videos and this video inspired me to go and order stamping tools and the plates. I love nail art designs and I really appreciate you taking the time to make all of these awesome videos. Keep up the great work!!!!! :)

[@Jlinaly]

Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your technics. I cant wait to try this and other great tutorials that you have posted. So glad I subscribed!.

[@elleandish]

It takes practice... it took me a while before I could do it well. Practice makes perfect! :D

[@navaenlaiberwick9492]

that is so fabulous!! ur videos are fantastic janelle!!

[@elleandish]

If the image doesn't transfer.. you're probably not stamping quickly enough. Konad is a fast process... the solvents in the nail polish evaporate easily after the scraping step. Try to do it a bit faster and see if there's any difference. Report back if it works/doesn't work :)

[@LauraWatsonArt]

This is such a cool nail look!!! Now I want one of those nail stampers!

[@karlaandrade2832]

Love them!!!!! THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!!

[@AmorBesos123]

Beautiful,I love the designs ❤❤❤

[@marinatenorio12]

Valentine's day is boring, but this nail art is awersome!

[@elleandish]

you can use a different brand if you wish. Please see my Konad Basics video for more info :)

[@kfjdhfkjahhkajlsad]

its really easy if you have the stamper

[@lindabrillante]

I will try the brush technique is pretty smart!

[@elleandish]

It's there for you to check out in the description box :)

[@marcigirl7]

Super cute !! I got the stamp and stickers and the other thing and now I need the nail polishes

[@missmelmakeup21]

I live in France and I love your videos! I subscribed ! Kisses from France !!

[@elleandish]

Thank you

[@elleandish]

:) Thanks for watching :) I'm trying my best to reply back but sometimes my KZbin inbox will miss comments.

[@elleandish]

Many times.. as long as you have polish to stamp with. :D

[@elleandish]

For me the only topcoat that doesn't smudge the stamp is Seche Vite.

[@elleandish]

Try Ebay or Amazon. Search for "konad stamper" :D

[@vbrown5541]

Wow! I didnt even know there were such tools for nail art!! Great tutorial

[@elleandish]

Hi! :] I'd also like to mention one more thing. I know I can't please everyone, but I do take your feedback seriously because I know it will help me in my video development. But it makes me sad when people make blanket generalizations like "no one has these stamps so QUIT using them!" I make a point to post links on where to buy the exact plates. If you cannot buy them then hopefully you can DIY freehanded or take bits and pieces of ideas & make them your own. I hope you can understand :)

[@viltegudziute8895]

i am impressed with those nails they're beautiful

[@elleandish]

eBay, Amazon, the born pretty store (international) :D please see my Konad basics video for details

[@beckafer]

I really love your tutorials!!!! Kisses from Venezuela!

[@BBaby1111]

I love this look

[@melissagutierrez8227]

This is one of my very favorites! Thanks for sharing :)

[@elleandish]

You don't have to use Konad polishes specifically.... as shown in the video I used non-Konad polish for the pointer, thumb and pinky finger stamping. Please see my Konad Stamping Basics video for details.. (search for it on my channel page) Thanks! :D

[@tylahsouffrant4383]
