And how to clean the stamps 😅😅
Thank you for these tips! Here's another tip for anyone still struggling. When I started stamping, I couldn't pick up an image to save my life! Blue film was off, I was sure I was woking very fast, I tried different scraping directions, rolling vs straight up and down techniques with the stamper, primed the stamper, and tried all different amounts of pressure. Nothing worked! As a last resort, I tried priming my plates! I figured the blue film could be leaving a residue. I used dish soap and a nylon bristled scrub brush and went over the plates for a few seconds each, then rinsed and dried them very well. Shockingly, I could pick up an image the first time and every time after that! Now it's the first thing I do with all my plates. I've never had any damage or scratching from the nylon brush. You only have to do it once if you're struggling to pick up an image. Just clean the polish off the plate with acetone after that. Hope this helps someone else!
Thanks for sharing!
@@what_kay_says Your'e so welcome! Hope it helps someone! Stamping is so fun - once it starts working!
Wow!! I will try this!!!
I cant wait to try this. I cant pick up image from plate. Nada...Im running to do this asap
Than you for this comment! I tried washing my plates with just water and a lil bit of hand soap and now they work!! 🥳🥳
Thank you so much! My stamping set almost went through the window because it wouldn't work. You've given me hope that it can! :-)
I can 100% relate to that! I hope I was able to help you resolve it!
@@what_kay_says So far it's in the corner. I give it dirty looks. I've been busy so I haven't had the chance yet to deal with it. Hopefully this weekend I can get some time to figure it out. Otherwise each little bottle of color will be ammo for a sling shot. Lets hope it doesn't come to that. LOL
@@Gothiqueluv I had the same frustration at first! I wanted to cry thinking what I paid for plates and stamping polishes. I thought, I'm good at crafting! How can I not do this?!?! What finally worked for me was to prime my plates! Just scrubbed them with dish soap and a nylon bristled brush. Worked perfect after that! Best of luck!!!
@@chupacabrita77 Thank you Brandi! I'll have to try that! :-)
@@Gothiqueluv Best of luck to you! I truly hope it helps!
Thanks for no jingle in the background. This video is crisp, concise, and oober helpful.
Thank you!
This was so helpful. Turns out my stamper isn't sticky at all. This is my first time trying it so I had no idea what was wrong. Thanks !!
Very good. I would recommend this video to any beginner.
I would mention that the reason there are the stiffer non-squishy heads is that you want them when trying to transfer straight lines. Soft, squishy heads can cause curves. There's a reason for every tool, it all depends on what you need.
Thank you for sharing! I've never had quite enough talent to use the non-squishy stampers. Maybe one day...
Thumbs up (why) 1. It's practical 2. Goes slow in details and visuals. 3. Quick video unlike other creatures. Thx
Thank you!
I used my plate without removing the blue 😭 nd was wondering why my stamper isn't working lol
Thank u for this 😭
I’m glad I could help! That’s a very common problem when first stamping. :)
Tysm for this vid. I tried my stamping kit the moment I got it and it didn't work. Thanks to you, I figured it out and didn't rage.
Yay! I’m so glad my video helped!
Helpful video. Thank you for sharing
Thank u so much! This helped a lot 😀 btw happy new year!
Glad to hear! And happy new year to you too!
I bought a pack of Born Pretty stamping polishes as they were highly recommended, but I cannot get the image to lift at all. I have tried different plates and different stampers and the same thing. I have other stamping polish that does work with the plates and stamper but I was just wondering if you may know if I am doing something wrong. Thanks for a great and helpful video!
So helpful! Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
❤❤nicely explained
Thank you 🙂
Nt me stamping with the blue peel ...thx for helping!
So good !!!💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you!
Have you tried a 240 grit sandpaper over the silicone stamp, clean with wipe, then run stamp over a lint roller. Works perfectly
I’ve never done that before but I’ve heard of that before. Have you done this on clear stampers before? Wondering if it makes the stamper less transparent?
@@what_kay_says I have done it on clear stamps and I've had good luck.
This can tear your stamper and will wear your stamper down
I will try something from this video because my new stamper not work fine! I have problems with Born pretty black stamping polishes, they making big mess on my nails and on my plates, for me silver and gold work better!
I hope it helps! As for the born pretty stamping polish, I’m sorry to hear that! I typically love the brand. :(
I have a question about the round stamping plate with the GIANT butterfly….that butterfly is way too big to put on someone’s nail. So what is its purpose?
That’s a really good question! I personally don’t typically use those kinds of designs. I’ve seen some people have different parts of a design on each nail or have the design carry over from one nail to the other. Or maybe if they like one part of the design to be on the nail? I’m sure there’s other ways to use it too, that I’m not aware of.
Very nice
hi! the white stamper with the metal handle which brand is it? where can i buy it? Thanks!
I got it on Amazon years ago and unfortunately I don’t think it’s sold anymore. :( It’s from “CICI&SISI”.
Me wondering why my stamping was not working last night....
Watching your video and realizing the blue protective film cover was on it... 🤦♀🤣
I’m so glad you got it working!
Stamper link ??
I bought new stamping and gel polish plzzz help me how to apply gel polish accurately while using stamping plate
That's exciting! I've never used gel stamping polish before, but maybe my video on stamping tips and tricks would help? I also have a step by step tutorial on nail stamping if you're new to stamping (although it's for regular stamping polish). I hope you have fun stamping! :)
Hello , your video really inspiring me❤, may I know what polish that u using on the stamp? is it gel polish or normal polish?
Thank you! I use normal stamping polish from Born Pretty. :)
Normal polish also works of its opaque.
Do we need to have stamping nail polish for stamper? I am using regular nail polish and stamper is not picking any colour.please tell?
You don't have to use stamping polish. Have you tried different brands and colors of regular polish? If so, it's probably more likely a different reason. Although it doesn't hurt to try a stamping polish just in case. I've had success with Born Pretty and Nicole Diary from Amazon.
I have also tried with regular polish and also gel polishes with not much success. I use stamping polishes now with no problems
Hi, i am just starting to stamp, but at my first try i experienced similiar problems. I use regular polish to stamp too. 1. You need to make sure you have proper amount of polish on your plate. I prefer to paint over whole design and then lightly scrape the excess. If i use to little polish the design isn't filled properly. 2. You need to work really quick. Use the stamper right after you scrape the excess, don't bother with cleaning the scraper od doing something else. There is no time. Once the design is on the stamper you have some time to aim and put it on your nail. 3. It can take a while to practice the method so take it easy and good luck :3 At my first try i tried 3 different polishes (2 metalics and one creme), two designs and one stamper. It took about 2h, and i managed only to make a nice design on two of my nails. One nail polish didnt work, and one is a bit see through. Also i tried priming the stamper, but i am not sure if that helped, i think the problem was with my method. Also prepare a lot of acetone and cotton to clean in beetween. Also the good idea is to put paper towels on your working surface. Good luck :3
Can you use gel polish for this? But even if it is or isn’t, what other kinds of polish can I use. I have gel and normal nail polish and I really want to get one of these but gel is all I like to use because my “quick 30 second to 1 minute” doesn’t dry that fast.
Amazon sells some gel stamping polish but I’ve never tried it before. I use regular stamping polish and it works very well. Have you tried seche vite top coat? It’s my go to quick dry top coat for normal polish.
Yes you can use gel nail polish for stamping but the gel polish doesnt have a good pigments colour. Thats the only issue i have and in a way its easier coz if you mess up its easy to clean it until ur satisfied then use uv/led when ur happy with the result after stamping.
@@williannetan oh ok thank you
Can you recommend me your favorite stamps?
Unfortunately my absolute favorite stamper I don’t think is sold anymore: Cici&Sisi silver stamper. Some of the ones I have from my Biutee kits are just ok but many need priming. I wish I had better recommendations for you.
i needed help because i didn’t know i needed to prime it first. is there multiple colors of the primer or what because that’s confusing. is that how i paint the picture
Priming a stamper usually involves cleaning it in warm soapy water (dish soap). There’s other ways to prime it too, but they can possibly damage the stamper. So just be careful.
Hey where did you get the nail plate with the love hearts and love heart candy on it please ? ❤😊👍🏻
They’re old plates from bundle monster, which is now Maniology. They’re really old so I’m not sure if those particular plates are sold anymore, but Maniology always comes out with cute new designs!
Oh I was wondering if it was the quality of the nail polish as well
I think the nail polish can definitely make a difference! Certain brands and types work better for me.
I looked up that nail polish is made out of different things so depending if it’s oil base or some thing else
That makes sense. I almost always use the stamping polish from the brand Born Pretty and have had great success :)
@@what_kay_says May you have fun and be blessed I believe you can also custom make your own nail polish either going by to a nail salon or either Etsy has people who has different parts for it they have like a small silver balls that you can put inside the nail polish I don’t know what that is for
@@what_kay_says czcams.com/video/PlvgFyZyHO4/video.html This is the company I ran into but I know that she has good nail selections like to create your own nail polish if you want
Can i use juice nail polish?
I haven’t used that brand before, so I couldn’t say. You could certainly try it! The more opaque, the better.
So how do you prime your stamper?
I've seen people prime stampers in different ways. I personally just like to use dawn dish soap and water and rinse it. That's generally what's recommended for most stampers. :)
Why my stamper is not picking a emage 😭😭😭😭
I removed blue cover also ....
And same nail art paint I'm using which one they were give me
I’m so sorry to hear this! You tried everything in my video? Is it not picking up anything at all?
@@what_kay_says yes I tried ....this one is new kit.....
@@sapnasingh7142 that’s really too bad! Maybe there’s something wrong with something in the kit?
It might be a bad stamper, plate, or polish.
What do we clean th plate with??
I clean it with 100% acetone and a paper towel or napkin. I’m gentle to not scratch the plate.
Did u use stamping nail polish or a normal one?
Yes, I highly recommend using stamping polish. I have had good luck with the Born Pretty brand from Amazon, but I know there's other really good brands out there too! :)
Normal polish works fine if its opaque. Go for a coater.
What stamper is good brand because mine won’t pick it up
I like the stampers from Pueen and Winstonia. I’m sorry to hear yours isn’t working!
@@what_kay_sayshave you got a brand that’s cheaper and in the uk that’s also good
does gel polish works on stamping?
I’ve never tried gel polish for stamping. But I believe they make gel stamping polish.
Is using uv gel polish works too?
Unfortunately I've never tried stamping with gel. I believe they make gel stamping polish.
@@what_kay_says what nail polish do you recommend?
@@ManhwaLoverrrr00 I always use the Born Pretty stamping polishes from Amazon. I love them!
@@what_kay_says Thanks 😊
What do you mean my Primed Stamper
A primed stamper gets it ready for its first stamping. Priming can help it have the polish stick to the stamper/transfer a more crisp and clear design. People prime them in different ways, but many stampers never need to be primed. I've only needed to prime one stamper before, so I'm not an expert on priming. But there's lots of videos out there from people who are. :)
Can i have the link to buy the stamper?
Unfortunately, the non-clear stamper is no longer sold (and it was one of my favorites). The clear stamper came in a Biutee stamping kit from Amazon. I posted a video in April of this year of some stampers you can buy on Amazon, and how well each works. I hope that helps!
I was like why isn’t this working!! THERRES BLUE PLASTIC ON IT. 😭😂😂😂
One of the most common things to happen when first stamping! So glad you got it working!
What is primed stamper
Some people prime by soaking it in soapy water, using a file on it, or putting some acetone on it. However, this can damage some stampers so I’d recommend researching to see what would be good for your specific stamper. :)
Best stamper brand ?
Pueen and winstonia make good stampers in my opinion.
Not working for me
I'm sorry to hear that! :(
I want to buy some
If you're interested in nail stamping, there's a lot to choose from on Amazon. :)
guys just apply powder on stamp it will start picking art .
YEP! Double layer. If blue 💙 remove!
I think my stamper wasn't working because I didn't know the trick The trick is with your clear squishy stamper that doesn't work Don't just put it in water with soap and then dry it off or use acetone That doesn't work what works is taking a very fine nail file and lightly filing it My stamper now works perfect. No video online explains this. Somebody told me so I'm just sharing the knowledge if nothing anybody says about the stamper is working try taking a very fine nail file to it worked for me
My problem was blue peal off lmao
I hope it’s working well for you now!
@@what_kay_says it does, thanks a lot ☺

I have other stamping polish that does work with the plates and stamper but I was just wondering if you may know if I am doing something wrong. Thanks for a great and helpful video!’
Wow! If the plates and stampers work with other polishes, sounds like a polish problem. I’ve always had good experiences with the born pretty stamping polish so I’m really surprised! I’m sorry to hear that’s happening to you.
