Like many others have said here, I thought that I perhaps was using the wrong polish, the plates weren't deep enough, or my stamper wasn't good or primed. Turns out it was 100% my technique. Not using enough polish, scraping too hard/too many times, and pressing too hard with my stamper. I had not ever had a successful pick up until I watched your video. It was so much fun to finally begin using my plates. Thank you and well done!!
I absolutely agree with everything you said! That was my case too! :) I can now use my stamper and plates nicely!
Awesome, im excited to try
What did u do to make stamper pickup images?? I've been struggling plz helpp
Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks, I've been hesitant to even attempt stamping because I've watched so many do's and dont's. I think I'll give it a go this weekend !! 🌸💖🌸
Thank you so much I hv been trying to do stamping for a couple of weeks with no success. Even after watching some of the “larger” CZcams channels. I hv learned more on your video than any of those. Can’t wait to get home and try again!!!
Thank you for clearing up what mistakes I have been watching other people do!! This was a great 👍🏻 tutorial!!! Thanks again!!!
Wish I had this advice when 1st started stamping!! Great & helpful video regardless of experience...I got the metal Born Pretty clear jelly stamper that would not work...70% alcohol let dry then lint roller...works like a dream now! The BP clear jelly stamper is basically a dupe of The Big Bling CJS my go to despite many others!! Helpful as always my dear!💕xo
thank you!! I've been trying to get my jelly stamper to work for so long. I thought I wasn't priming it right or something. turns out I was just scraping too hard. I never would've guessed if I hadn't seen this
Glad to hear it helped you.
My stamper don't work on ordinary color,,,😩😩what will I do
These tips instantly improved my stamping skills. I’ve watched so many other vids and idk why but this is the one that got through to me lol. Thanks for sharing!
Terrific! Glad to hear that they helped you.
Thank you so much!!! You made it so nicely that everybody can understand and it helped me a lot!!! I was pressing way too hard and was getting frustrated already but after this I managed to do my nails with few minutes.. amazing!!!! Thank you so much :)
Great tips I've not heard b4 & I've been searching quite a bit for help with clear stamping! Will be subscribing & thank you!
THANK YOU, this really help because I was putting to much pressure and didn’t know what to do
This video tutorial made stamping for the first time so much easier for me! Thank you!
WOOHOO!!! I GOT IT!!! I have been obsessed with getting this right and watched every video I could find but your video made all the difference! I was pressing too hard and scraping too hard. Your explanations were so detailed and thorough and made complete sense and I knew right away that it would finally work. Trying different stampers and scrapers with each plate helps so much, too. THANK YOU!!!! My images are stunning now and it is sooo easy! I don't even need to prime the stamper head now that I have the technique down and I am picking up every kind of polish. THANK YOU!!!
Glad to hear it worked for you. The possibilities are endless now. Have fun!
Love the way you explained and demonstrated. Great video as usual ! What would we stampers do without you . Although I'm not new to stamping I still love to watch ! Thank You !!
Thank you!!! The clip for the cotton is a huge game changer I couldn't figure out how to avoid making a mess and my poor boyfriend kept getting roped into cleaning my plate for me during the process so this is a life saver thank you so much!!!
Literally was trying forever to stamp..bothing picked up!! Ure so amazing!! Ty so so much for your help. I feel like a pro now!!
Finally i really succeed stamping. Thank you very much for your clear and understandable tutorial!! So glad i found your video :)
I’ve been very lucky. Other than the first time it didn’t pick it up but after I washed it with a bit of soap and nothing.
All my issues have been user related. Not being firm and steady while placing the stamp is the biggest one.
I’m glad to get the tips to get better at it!
Thank you so much for this! I’m going to try now to see if I can get it this time around 😃
Thanks for the tips. I'm new to this stamping thing and I appreciate that you created a video for those that need assistance.
iluvmyboba hi dear I'm also interested, were do u buy the stemper and the stemping plates?
This is a great video. I figured out on my own that I was pressing way too hard. I hope this helps people.
The clamp to hold the cotton pads is a bomb idea. I bought one of the cotton claws, but until it arrives, that is an excellent idea. I most likely will favor the clamp for cotton pads, and the claw for cotton balls. ☑️
👍Thank you SO MUCH for posting this vid, after watching it I was able to apply your info and create the perfect nail stamp! (I was getting NOTHING on the stamp before with same exact tools!😂) You deserve 5-star rating on this one!😁 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟❤
You're welcome. Glad to hear it helped you.
@@KyongLee sure do miss your nails vids! Hoping all is good with you Kyong.💞✌🏼
I LOVE LOVE your video, it is the first helpful tutorial that I`ve seen on it. Before I couldn`t get fine detailed images and now it works. Thank you very much!!!
I immediately tried stamping after watching this video. I had zero success earlier today even after watching other videos. I can say that making the jelly stamper sticky with file and acetone were key for me. Also, use acetone to clean the plate after each stamp. I think I was using non acetone earlier, no bueno. Nails look great, thanks for the video.
Excellent video. Very informative. Thanks for the tips.
This video helped the light to come on...BIG THANKS!! 🤗
Cotton holder thingy 😆😆😁🤗... your nails are smashing 👍🏽👍🏽
You have helped me as a beginner so much. I could not get the transfer. Watched you and voila. Thank you.
You are genius for the clothespin thing omg
I wanted you to know that several months ago I watched one of your videos on tips on stamping. I've been painting my nails for over 20 years and stamping for 1.5 years. With your tutorial and explanation I "got" it. I have watched and tried to follow other well known nail artist with no luck. I use to post my finished stamped nails on Instagram but stopped. I was no where near the quality you and the rest of the bloggers. I've deleted all my nail pics. But I have gotten a lot better in the few months using your tips.
I'm glad to hear my tips helped. We're all beginners at first, and I think it's nice to be able to see my own improvement over time.
Nan Harp ooo. I didn’t know you could delete pics on instagram! I will google it. Thank you!
Best video I’ve found on stamping - thank you!
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing! I think I scrape too hard sometimes 😁
OMG BLESS YOUR SOULLL i was scraping too hard!
Thank you Kyong. This was very helpful.
Awesome video😍 Thank you very much for shearing this💖
Thank you!! It finally worked for me due to your tips!! Thanks I was about give up!!
Great to hear!
So much to learn, but I think I've got it! Thank you for this great video. I have learned so very much from watching this. I'm still kind of new to the whole stamping nail art. Wish me luck! 😉 Btw...I'm a new subscriber too!
I'm sure you will get it.
I'm going to try this tomorrow. I just tried using my maniology stamping kit yesterday and couldn't get anything to stick to the stamper. I hope using these techniques helps!
Thank you so much for all of the great information.
Nice job on this vid! So helpful!
Now i know what im doing wrong awesome video thank you i learned alot watching :)
You're the only one who said no to hulk smash it down. Haha. That's what I was doing wrong and I could not figure it out
Thank you. This info was really helpful.
Thanks very much! I’ve been hard scraping and hulk smashing 😂
Thank you so much, this was very helpful. ♥️👍
I use the lint roller for cleaning it and just wash with soap and water to prime I also find the white steamer that is firmer to pick up smaller pictures then the clear but I’m I love with this one 😊😊😊
Very detailed and helpful thank u ♡♡
Very helpful, thank you!
BTW thanks you. It is the best video I had found about stamping.
Thank you for your help!! ❤️
lol, "Hulk Smash", thanks for the tips...♡
Yeah, right after I sent the comment, I watched the next video and that had the information I needed.
I love this thank you so much ❤
great tips ^_^ i guess i've been "hulk smashing" this whole time XD
Thanks for the video. ⭐
Excellent video. Ty
Thanks, very helpful
Very informative video love it ☺☺☺😊😊😉😉
Helpful tutorial thanks. Do you recommend using gel?
I have only ever used chrome polish or Matt polish
I've never tried gel but it's an option for the base. I think there are special gel stamping polishes as well.
I watched a video from moyra I think and it said to buff the stamper just before the first use to prep it. Xx
Best tutorial ever!
it did help and thank you ordering supplies soon
Helpful video! I'm having horrible issues, I've bought two stamping kits and the stampers do not work! I have cleaned them before use with warm water but still nothing! I must be missing, is it maybe the nail polish brand?
That is really helpful. I started with Konad hard stampers that you smash down and have had a lot of trouble picking up with some of my clear stampers. I will roll from now on. That being said, can you do a tutorial on how exactly to do the coloring in method of stamping?
Which method? The one where you color in on the stamper? If so, I have already done a couple of videos. They are under Reverse/Advanced stamping.
Thank you for this! I was deff pressing too hard I think!
Great video!!!!!
hi Kyong Lee, question about using the Orly rubberized basecoat over nails that have already have a fully dried base of regular polish on them; would I let the Orly basecoat fully dry or is supposed to be wet or semi dry on my nails before applying the stamped image? thank you from monica
Semi tacky, maybe a minute or so.
Very helpful video :D
Thank you so much!!!
thank you for the video thanks for sharing
Great tip
I have tried to stamp once I have stamping gels and I have different stampers and I have only tried it on one plate and I couldn't even get a tiny bit of the picture to the stamper 😞
Brilliant thanks 🙏🏻
Hello,
If you choose to add base coat prior to stamping, do you have to cure base coat first?
Careful with that cotton claw people...I scratched the clear spot on the Lina Make your Mark 03!! 🙈I'm liking Mrs Lee's gadget!!💕
I have heard several people say that. 😞
I have a stamper and it’s not picking up anything is that because I use water to clean it off? what do you use to clean off the the stamper and the nail plate?
I used a lint roller or tape to clean the stamper head. For the stamping plate, I use pure acetone using a big clothes pin to hold the cotton.
Thank you for a great video tutorial. I’m having trouble with my polish picking up at all. Could it be the polish? I have a clear stamper head that’s squishy, but it won’t pick up the image. I’m not scraping hard or over scraping my plate. The only polish that picks up is the excess that’s left on the surface around the area of the image, so the blobby edges. That’s all. I started to think that maybe it was the polish and tried some dark blue “ice” brand polish. Though not very pigmented and it came across more like a water color without defined edges, the image did pick up. Is there a way to tell if the polish is bad?
It could be that the polish is drying before you pick up. Try bring super fast. Scrape only once, really lightly and try picking up right away. Have the stamper in your other hand ready to go. Some polishes dry quicker than others, especially in the heat.
I got the same problem can’t get a bloody impression 😰
I'm new to stamping and this helped me a lot thank you so much. I think my problem is I'm scraping to hard AND smashing the stamper done to hard. Ill try a lighter touch and see how that goes.
Question: how imperative is it to use "stamping polish", I'm having a hard time finding single bottles and not sets
Most one coat cremes will stamp well. Smooth chrome metallics will too. Over a pale color base almost any color will be fine. The question is how they will look over dark colors. Good stamping polishes are formulated to show up well on darker colors. But for practice, regular polish is fine because you're just trying to figure out the correct pressure and timing. Once you can pick up a good image on the stamper consistently, then you can think about color payoff.
@@KyongLee thanks so much. That helps a lot. I was wondering if that was why I was getting splotchy pickup, because I was using regular polish. I think I'm just Hulking it LOL
@@KyongLee 👌 I sent the Hulk to his room and your tips worked amazing and I had wonderful results with regular polish. Thank you
Yay. Glad to hear it. Happy stamping!
Very informative, thank you. I would love to know where to get the stamping plate you used in this video. Thank you for sharing.
If you're in the US, it's easier to get them from a stockist. www.lanternandwren.com/creative-shop/

Thank you 😊
Great video! I’m just getting into stamping and frustrated because I can pick up images very well with black and white stamping polish but for some reason the colors like silver or other stamping colors I can’t. I just got the polish from amazon and it’s from Born Pretty. Don’t know if it’s just bad polish or if I’m doing something wrong. Thank you for this video. It’s very helpful. 😊
Metallics like silver tend to be faster drying so you need to be extra quick on pick up.
Kyong Lee thank you 😊
I've found that metallic polishes are sometimes too thick to pick up the fine lines so a drop or two of the CORRECT type of thinners in the bottle, mixed well, makes for a perfect pickup. I bought mine on ebay.
margaret wood good to know. I will give that a go. 😊. Thank you
If you want to use the same pattern for all your nails, do you have to clean the plate in between every nail?
It's best to clean between every nail to ensure a clean pickup. Some people say that you can go 2-3 stamps before cleaning the plate but that's never worked for me.
I do every time just because the polish is so thin on the stamping plate it’s dry by the time I get to it
Can I stamp on gel polish? Do i stamp over polish before top coat? Should i add gel base over color and then stamp? I prefer to use gel polish as a base.
Yes, you can use gel as base color. Cure, then stamp and last top coat.
How do we get polish off the lint roller?
Once I use the same image twice my clear stamp stops picking up the image again. Even cleaning with soap doesn’t help. Any suggestions?
What are you using to clean the plate and the stamper in between stamping each image?
What do you use to clean the stamper after you’re done using it? And also I have the Uber Chic stamper and haven’t done anything to prime it, no wonder the image wasn’t picking up
I use a lint roller to clean the stamper. Some stampers don't need priming but if it isn't picking up, definitely try priming.
Hey guys I have a problem..I just baught a stamper today but it ddoesn't work...Im a beginner and I don't know what to do..Ive also washed in warm water and dish washing liquid..still doesn't work..
Thank you
What do you have over your cotton round (that square piece)? I'm assuming that helps not get cotton lint stuck to the plate?
It's a lint free wipe. It does help with the more roughly etched plates.
Ok so a while ago I bought a stamped the Pueen brand I got and o had my plates to I put the plolish down scraped it like you said and rolled the stamper over it and it won’t pick up? How can I fix this I’ve primed and cleaned my Stamper and it still won’t pick up?
I don't have that specific stamper but have heard good things about it. Are you getting no image at all or a partial image?
Do you have to have stamping polish? Whats the difference between regular & stamping polishes? Thank you, Loved your tutorial on this.
You don't have to use stamping polish as most one coat cremes and chrome finishes will stamp pretty well, especially over lighter colors. However, you may not get the color payoff you want over darker colors using regular polishes. Stamping polishes are designed to be more opaque over any color. For practice though, to get the timing and pressure down, practice with any cheap polish on white paper.
@@KyongLee awesome thank you so very much.
can you use a gel polish?
i wanted to see different nail polishes being used and different stamps
😅😅i need tips for your left hand nail polish
Also, can i use normal gel or must it be stamping gel?
Does it matter what nail polish u use, like any kind
WhAt liquid it is simple polish nail? It can be gel nail?
Could you use regular nail polish for stamping
Some work, like very opaque one coat creme formulas, metallics, some holos, but it's very much trial and error. If you're just starting out, I would recommend buying at least a black and a white in stamping polish and getting comfortable with stamping. Then you can test your polishes for stampability.
Question, if I paint my nails with gel polish should I use gel polish for my nail art or regular polish? Thank you, great video!
You can use either. If using regular polish, make sure it's fully dry if you are going to use gel topcoat over it.
How often should the jelly stamp be replaced or when do I know if it needs to be replaced?
They only need replacement if they get damaged. The really soft ones can get tears over time. I think only one of mine have had to be replaced in 10 years of stamping, and I still use it for other things lol.
Ohhh ok thank you @@KyongLee
You didn't touch on how to place the stamped image on the nail. Should I use light pressure? Should I use a rolling motion?
With clear stampers, I find pressing straight down works best as long as you don't have really curvy nails and your stamper is squishy enough. If you have really curvy nails and/or a really firm stamper, rolling may work better for you.
