Northern lights
My first successful stamping of a whole nail set before I rage quit. I think I got it down now and very excited to finally play with my plates! Tips and tricks welcome 🤝💅
Well today I'm proud
I had this idea for a while and I finally pulled it off!
All nails
- Essence Colour Grip Base Coat
- Emily De Molly Water Based Top Coat
- Glisten & Glow QDTC
Blue
- Kiko 030 Cobalt
- Essence Swirl Pool
- Essence Gloss And Roll (clear)
- Born Pretty SP008
- MoYu Silver Dust
- ILNP Take a Bow
Gold
- Shaka Light Gold
- Kads 12 (probably pearly brick red?)
The gold nails were pretty easy: two coats of metallic gold, then I stamped the starfish from the Whats Up Nails A019 Beach Mode plate with Kads 12 and a marshmallow stamper.
The bue nails took longer. I first painted a layer of Essence Swirl Pool, then I dripped a drop of Kiko 030 Cobalt, a drop of Essence Gloss And Roll and a drop of Essence Swirl Pool on a silicone mat, swirled them around with a dotting tool and smushed an ice cube stampers into it, then stamped onto my nails. After that I used the same ice cube stamper and Born Pretty SP008 with the Whats Up Nails A025 Silhouette Menagerie to stamp the coral/algae, then I added some fish from both plates stamped with MoYu Silver Dust and a marshmallow stamper since the ice cube one wasn't picking up the designs cleanly.
I topped all nails with Emily De Molly Water Based Top Coat and after 10 minutes I added a super thin layer of ILNP Take a Bow on the blue nails, and finally a coat of QDTC on all of them.
I'm really happy of how they turned out!
Groovy summer dayz!
I am stuck inside due to the heat wave, so I decided to make my nails extra bright and cheery.

Desperately 😭
Summer zest!
Officially the 3rd time doing my nails with both gel and stamping :D
anyone else feel like stamping plates are getting a bit... samey?
Genuine question, not trying to start drama lol. Feels like every new plate release has the same florals, same geometric stuff, same "trendy" designs just recycled by different brands.
Am I just burnt out from scrolling too much or do you guys feel this too? What would actually make you go "ok I NEED this plate" instead of just scrolling past?
Curious what you all think, especially if you've been collecting for a while
I’m struggling
Hi everyone I started nail stamping 2 weeks ago and the first time I got it to actually work today absolutely nothing I try is getting the stamp to pick up the polish or it only does partials of the design?
I’m getting so frustrated I tried following tips about lightly buffing the stamp surface that didn’t help. I am fully at a loss maybe my polish isn’t any good? I’m using a basic stamping polish set from Amazon.
And tips would be so so so appreciated
Thanks! 💕💕💕
Edit: thanks everyone! I am back at it today and officially picked up 90% of a flower on my practice nail lol going to look for some paper to try and de-oil the stamper head as well I have 3 diff ones to try at this point(born pretty brand) so I’m going for trying every thing
I’ll put a photo of my practice nail in the comments 😊

Question: Comic-style plate
Does anyone know of a plate that can replicate this comic book look? I would like to do this in another color but haven’t been able to find anything similar.
