I have used this method many times. A few tips that I have discovered... I use a marshmallow stamper versus a clear jelly stamper. The polish doesn't pool like it does on a clear stamper. It doesn't dry as fast either. Plus an added benefit that it doesn't rip or tear either. They are meant to be more flexible. It makes the whole thing much easier. Another cool tip, instead of nail polish- use acrylic paint. I use the non toxic cheap 50 cent a bottle paint from walmart. It works amazing. It doesn't dry as fast. You can do several nails with the same bit of paint ( without reapplying). Plus clean up is so easy. Just top coat and let dry. Then wash your hands with warm water and soap. Any paint on the skin comes right off. Also since it dries so much slower on the stamper- you can do a lot of cool color combinations, stripes, marbles, and whatever with it. With a good topcoat, the acrylic paint lasts just as long as nail polish. Remember to cap the tips with topcoat and you are good to go. This is now my new favorite method for french manicures. Stamping them on is my next favorite. But this method allows for so much more creativity and is so much easier- especially with the paint.
@@grespinosa i got mine from amazon. I purchased a few silicon marshmallow stampers. They aren't the clear jelly ones. these ones are usually white or black. They are soft and sticky usually. Which means they hold onto polish better and they don't tend to rip or break like a clear jelly one would. Good luck!!
If you are feeling apprehensive because nail stampers are not cheap: I was able to achieve a frenchie (with this technique) using a silicone make up sponge from Dollar Tree.
Dude! 😳 That final mani you did? That's, like, a Wedding Day Caliber French manicure. Not just to go to someone else's wedding but for your OWN wedding day. I'm totally blown away by how nice that looked! 😍
I have very pronounced and deep smile lines so my attempts at sheer French manis never look good. Visually I feel like the white is a bikini bottom and my smile line is a booty crack hanging way out. But your use of the opaque nude has given me inspiration!
Your analogy made me laugh :):) deep smile lines are beautiful and my personal fav! You can always use a thin liner brush to make the polish have deeper smiles lines to match your natural nails if you like that look (I actually prefer that look). Cheers :)
I appreciate your short, just past the skin nails, thats about the length I go to. Even when I apply tips, I can go two days max with longer length, then I have to cut back and file. Thank you for another good video as always. Love a good French manicure and using the stamper is the best tip that has come up in the last couple of years. Free handing is hard unless you have steady hands but you can easily play around with the stamper to get the smile lines you prefer.
I'm in the same boat! It's just part of my genetics; I have thin, flexible nails that like to split and peel if they grow too far. Cuticle oil helps some, nail polish and strengthener helps some, but I will never have natural nails very far past my skin. (Biotin did not help at all, annoyingly.) I super appreciate that Kelli keeps her nails short.
I personally love this technique, it's the first time I've achieved a decent French mani on myself, as you don't need to be ambidextrous, yes there's some clean up required but it's easy to do. P. S. I achieved a more pronounced smile line by rocking the stamp side to side to take the line further down the sides of the nail, takes a bit of practise, but if I did it anyone can.
I loved using this technique. For my birthday I did a cute French tip manicure using Holo Taco’s linear holo polishes. I have medium length nails, so I used a little bit of liquid latex, but had to do some clean up too. I’ve used nail vinyls to do French tips before and found this technique to be much easier. I had the same problem where the polish would dry out quick, so I had to apply a good amount to the stamper each time. I moved the stamper so I had a rounded edge to my French tip, I want to try to do the “V” shaped tips next time!
If you slide your nail into the polish from the side first and then dip in then you have to barely do any cleanup. I did it a couple times with normal polsh now since I don't mess with gels XD
I’ve only ever tried this with gel. But yeah - I think application should be the same. Start with your nail before the polish, push your nail towards the puddle keeping your nail in contact with the stamper then dip. The cleanup will be primarily at your side walls, but minimal.
I've been wondering about this technique. I'm glad to see you try it out! I don't wear a French manicure often, but when I do I'll definitely give this a try. Thanks for doing it, Kelli! It turned out awesome!
Hey Kelli! I love you videos ❤️. I saw a video by someone else, don’t remember the name, (I feel so bad!) and she said that white acrylic paint worked way better than regular polish. I tried it and it does dry much slower allowing you to work better. It also helps that the opacity of acrylic paint is much higher than a normal nail polish, so you will def get that crisp white line. Also, for clean up, acrylic paint, you can wash off with soap and water, avoiding the acetone 😉 Try it out! Maybe you like it!
Thank you SO MUCH for trying this with short nails and with regular polish. I've seen so many videos of ladies doing this with their...talons and it just didn't seem feasible. This video is simply REALISTIC! This is how nail tutorials should be. 😄
I really appreciate this video with your nail length and the regular polish! However, I think my favorite part of the video was the fun fact question. I suffer with chronic health issues and sometimes have these gnarly episodes my family calls "getting funky" where my body starts to pass out but it never fully does, so I'm just nauseous, hot, shaky and anxious. My boyfriend puts on your videos as a distraction because you're so nice and calm and I can depend on this channel to not post something that might trigger me during these episodes. Your videos have become so special to me and my boyfriend even watches them too and enjoys them!
tbh when im doing my nails i don't use acetone to clean up. i separate the polish that's off the nail from what's on the nail with a smooth edge, wait for everything to dry down, and then just saturate my hands with lotion or oil (like lubriderm or jojoba oil) and then use a non-sharp bladed edge to debride the excess polish & any remaining dead skin on my finger tips. it works REALLY well for me and always leaves a crisp edge.
I have not tired this "hack". I am currently rocking the duo chrome french tips over blurring base mani inspired by your Twitch stream and it did turn out beautiful. As soon as I finished and put my top coat on, I looked next to me on my nail desk and saw my ice cube stamper and kicked myself for not trying it. It does look so much easier. I have such a hard time lining up the french tip guides so I usually use striping or scotch tape but I like the look of a slightly curved line better.
Kelly, Kelly, Kelly- I just did a French manicure! I love a good French manicure, and I'm up for any hack that'll help me get the crispest line! But I don't own a stamper, and I think I'll stick to the stencil method! Thanks for trying this hack out!
I would be worried about damaging my stamper as I have strong nails. Good to know it works, though. Thanks for testing it! I use a Moyou London stamping plate for French manicure, easier than strips or tape🙈
I have the Pardon My French plate from Maniology, and I just find that I waste less polish than the hack, but I love that people are experimenting. P.S - Would be great to see Orly polishes in Round #2 Kelli, after all the founder of Orly is credited with creating the OG french manicure in 1976.
I watched a yt vid with someone who tested regular polish v gel polish v acrylic paint and they found the acrylic gave the cleaner line. I assume that would not dry as fast as regular polish, so I might give that a go 🖤
I love your videos, and my nails have never looked this good. All of your tips and product advice have done wonders for me. I am trying magnetic polish for the first time after watching you, so we'll see how that goes. Thanks again for putting useful and honest info out.
They came out really Pretty 🌸 Just a longer Process. But you don't know until you try 🙂. I didn't try it & I always have my nails short & square like yours . Looking for a simple but good way of doing a French manicure.. with some pink on the nail bed. Thank You for this tutorial 👍🦋🕊️🌿
I recently bought these curved nail sticker/stencil things off amazon and used them just for fun and BOY was I amazed. . .I did them over the sheer pink polish which really made it have a nice clean curved line. Best of all, no gooey cleanup under the nails (mine are short too). I love your moon and crystal necklace in this video! Good job on your french mani with that stamper!
You have to get Schotten Totten! It's an awesome, easy 2 player card game! My sister and I love it. So fun and easy for beginner board gamers. (Avid board gamer here).
I always just freehand my French manicures, but then again I am an old who gave myself a French mani almost every Thursday night throughout high school and college in the nineties, so I’ve had a LOT of practice, lol. Thursday nights = friends, Friends thru ER on tv, and a fresh mani pedi. :) I always did the white tips first and then did one or two coats of a sheer white polish over the nail, followed by topcoat. Sometimes with a glitter or iridescent topcoat thrown in for fun. (For the record, my toes are always some crazy color, lol.)
These look great. I keep trying to do this like I did last night and I managed to fail again. I prefer nail tapes, or stamping. I can’t garage the width at all and my polish dried to quick and even with longer nails made a mess 😂 I would love another video with technique and designs.i only use regular polish. Thank you for this video.
The end result really came out pretty 😍✨ I love these Thursday videos 💜 your videos for me are a mood changes.... Whenever I am stressed I watch your videos 💜
Girl this technique is really cool! Thank you for testing it out; I'm curious to try it now. I also love your moon necklace - may I ask where you got it, if you remember? I love it :-)
I understand your tweet about raw cuticles now! Also, I think your ring finger is harder because it's nail sits slightly further back than the others. Your other nails, you can't see any of your finger tip beyond your free edge. Some of my nails are like that too.
Hi kelli and everyone! I know I am late to comment and probably no one will see this. I've tried this hack and would love to share my tips for those who can't work fast enough before the nail lacquer dry, but also don't like to use gel lacquer. I use Sally Hansen's miracle gel to give me a little extra time to line up my nails. Also, I dip my nails at a angle on the stamper instead of straight down. I line up my nail at the edge of the lacquer and then push in at the angel on the stamper. This will make less cleanup on the fingertips and a nice smile French tips. My goto is to pair my French tips with a halo dust topper as a base coat. Hope this helps everyone. Thank you!,
Thanks for the video. I haven´t used this technique, but after watching your video I am going to give it a try. It seems easy!! I hope I don´t make a mess on my nails :D
AWESOME 😎! Picky picky perfectionist, you are! That is why we all love you!😘. My ring finger was the messiest as well. Look at your fingers on the palm side. Ring fingers seem to be meatier and rounder or maybe it's me🤪. Definitely looks better with a nude or some base color polish on first! Love extra Kelly💓💖.
Omg the blue polish in your little picture to the side is so pretty I love that ... is it a China glaze? Do u feel like it's super striking in person as it is in the picture
i'm going to have to try this one day. I have shorter nails myself, due to my job. I thought they came out really good. I loved the nude and the french. Could you please, please, please do a makeup tutorial again using purples please???? I just got the new ABH Norvina 5 palette for my birthday from my hubby. It has a lot of purples in it. Your makeup always looks perfect. I'd really appreciate it. You could do whatever colors as well if you don't want to do purple.
Would love more nail art inspiration & hacks! I know you have more diverse content available on other platforms, but CZcams is certainly the most accessible for me. Thanks for the video & your daily hard work!
I have not tried this. I can't believe it actually works. I am gonna try it. But not with the Holo Taco. Maybe another brand that doesn't dry so quickly. But this is an amazing French mani hack!
I know how much you like the galaxy. It’s very simple. I tested it out to see if it would work and does. Black base, black holo polish, (I used ILNP Cityscape), top coat to smooth out the surface, and one of the magnetic polishes. I used a gel, but I’m sure you could use a lacquer, too. With gel just need to make sure that the polish is fully dry, or it will wrinkle after curing. Then do a line with the magnet. From there, the options are limitless. Little white stars, nebulas…anything else you’d want. 😁
This is a great idea. Cleans up nice. I am definitely going to try this. My nails are short & I love the clean look of a French manicure. Thanks for the tip. Plz do a part 2. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! I don't use gel polish, so it's nice to see that this hack can work with regular polish. But I actually don't wear French manicure all that often to try it out😅
This is such a cool idea. My nails are a bit shorter than yours, so I think I will use liquid latex, but I've never seen the idea before, so glad you posted.
Yeah! I like the Variation with the Nude Base followed by french Tips. Well, my Inner Child wants to try a) various pastel nude bases b) followed by baby pastel Tips! In a Rainbow please!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 😀👍 And I l♡♡♡ve to see Nail Art on those French Nails, maybe Leaves stamped?!
I love that you tested this out! I'm really intrigued by it and one of these days I think I'm going to try it. I think your nails looked great when you were done! Thank you for sharing your findings! 💜
It did look really lovely Kelli. Instead of "poking" in to polish, try sliding across the stamper from the side, more at a horizontal position instead of a vertical position. Virtually no mess this way, as you scrape up polish as you go. 🙂 You could use much less polish.
I have used this method many times. A few tips that I have discovered... I use a marshmallow stamper versus a clear jelly stamper. The polish doesn't pool like it does on a clear stamper. It doesn't dry as fast either. Plus an added benefit that it doesn't rip or tear either. They are meant to be more flexible. It makes the whole thing much easier.

@@SnugglesFairiedoes the acrylic paint remove easily from a marshmallow stamper using that scotch tape method?
@@planetina5616 I use a lint roller to remove the paint from the stamper head. I expect tape would work the same way.
If you are feeling apprehensive because nail stampers are not cheap: I was able to achieve a frenchie (with this technique) using a silicone make up sponge from Dollar Tree.
Ooh that's an awesome tip!
Brilliant
did you just swatch it as if you were doing a gradient?
@Nekita I suppose that would work. But I pressed my nail into it. Same way Kelli is doing here with the stamper.
@@dreadlux Thank you much! I'm definitely going to try that.

Hey Lily!!
Would putting a vinyl AND THEN use the gel stamper hack work better? Or would it just be easier to do a vinyl and paint it yourself? Lol!
I understand your tweet about raw cuticles now! Also, I think your ring finger is harder because it's nail sits slightly further back than the others. Your other nails, you can't see any of your finger tip beyond your free edge. Some of my nails are like that too.
Haha funny enough I tweeted that while I was filming this video 😂😂

Oh gosh thank you 🥰🥰
I haven't tried this, cause I didn't think it would work this with regular polish 😀 so now I'm going to try it.
Please do a part 2 as you suggested 😊
i'm going to have to try this one day. I have shorter nails myself, due to my job. I thought they came out really good. I loved the nude and the french. Could you please, please, please do a makeup tutorial again using purples please???? I just got the new ABH Norvina 5 palette for my birthday from my hubby. It has a lot of purples in it. Your makeup always looks perfect. I'd really appreciate it. You could do whatever colors as well if you don't want to do purple.
Would love more nail art inspiration & hacks! I know you have more diverse content available on other platforms, but CZcams is certainly the most accessible for me. Thanks for the video & your daily hard work!
Definitely more fun stuff coming soon!!
I have not tried this. I can't believe it actually works. I am gonna try it. But not with the Holo Taco. Maybe another brand that doesn't dry so quickly. But this is an amazing French mani hack!
Very pretty!!
I know how much you like the galaxy. It’s very simple. I tested it out to see if it would work and does. Black base, black holo polish, (I used ILNP Cityscape), top coat to smooth out the surface, and one of the magnetic polishes. I used a gel, but I’m sure you could use a lacquer, too. With gel just need to make sure that the polish is fully dry, or it will wrinkle after curing. Then do a line with the magnet. From there, the options are limitless. Little white stars, nebulas…anything else you’d want. 😁
Ooh a galaxy mani with a magnetic topper sounds gorgeous!!
This is a great idea. Cleans up nice. I am definitely going to try this. My nails are short & I love the clean look of a French manicure. Thanks for the tip. Plz do a part 2. Thanks!
Oh yay I'm glad you enjoyed! Part 2 coming for sure!
Yay I'm first! Have a nice day!❤️
Yay! I hope you have a great day too!!
I really like how the nails came out 👀👀👀 Love your makeup look 💖💖💖 I like playing Uno :)
Thanks for sharing! I don't use gel polish, so it's nice to see that this hack can work with regular polish. But I actually don't wear French manicure all that often to try it out😅
This is such a cool idea. My nails are a bit shorter than yours, so I think I will use liquid latex, but I've never seen the idea before, so glad you posted.
I just saw this video and am dying to try on my nails. I have short nails😂. Yours came out very nice❤
Enjoyed this video. I'll have to try it!
I love Holo Taco's Not Milky White 🥰
It's great!
Looks great. I’ve tried it too and after a few tries, I thought it looked okay.
I’ve been wanting to try this too. I figured it wouldn’t be as easy as it looks.
What’s on your nails at the beginning and end of the video? It’s a stunning color! I always love your hair and makeup! 😍
Oh thank you! It's Orly Don't Take Me for Garnet!
part 2 please!
What a great technique! Your nails looked great.
Oh thank you so much!
Your nails look great. Will definitely try this !!
Yay! Thank you! It's definitely a fun trick.
I love these hack videos!! I’d love to see you attempt some more colored French tips
It looks so good! Can’t wait for my liquid latex and stamper to come in the mail :)
Next video of this would be fun! Great video!
Please do a part 2!!!
You did a great job!!
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
You did an awesome job, I need to try it own my channel!!!!!!
Yeah! I like the Variation with the Nude Base followed by french Tips.
Well, my Inner Child wants to try
a) various pastel nude bases
b) followed by baby pastel Tips!
In a Rainbow please!!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜 😀👍
And I l♡♡♡ve to see Nail Art on those French Nails, maybe Leaves stamped?!
I love that you tested this out! I'm really intrigued by it and one of these days I think I'm going to try it. I think your nails looked great when you were done! Thank you for sharing your findings! 💜
I love all of your videos! 🥰
Oh thank you so much Heather!
It did look really lovely Kelli. Instead of "poking" in to polish, try sliding across the stamper from the side, more at a horizontal position instead of a vertical position. Virtually no mess this way, as you scrape up polish as you go. 🙂 You could use much less polish.
i cant wait to see it right next door 🚪
