The dark ages of stamping....when all stampers were opaque. Don't remind me!! 😭
LOL oh how far we have come since those days!!
The dark ages 😂
Please don't remind me, the clear stampers were the reason I got back into stamping
I remember my first stamper was opaque and I never stamped again for years until recently with my clear stamper 😂😂😂😂
@@Nellyc1 yes, same!!
I feel like the metallic wrinkly look would be cool if you were stamping a skull or something like that
Or like on a monochromatic look specifically just using different textures would be neat esp in black or gunmetal!
Ooh that's a good point!
The wrinkly effect made it kinda look like filigree, esp since it was metal. Wonder what it would do to holo or micro glitter.
Hey, tip for opaque stampers! Instead of pushing the stamper onto your nail, try keeping the stamper standing up and put your nail on it so you can see the image while your stamping it💕
Ooh that's a smart hack!!
That's what I do!
@@katinadiep9268 it actually works rly well!
In terms of product design this feels like the first prototype that’s created to test if the material works at all. Which it does. Now they need to refine it. Create something that’ll hold the stamper and have a mechanism that’ll help someone push on it to uniformly stretch it so it’s not wonky. And it should be clear!!! This seems so obvious why didn’t they do thi
I definitely hope they improve it and make a clear version cause I do love the concept haha!
Unfortunately, that I know of clear stamper heads tend to tear when stretched:(
Guess who's gonna wait for the future video using a clear stamper as a shrinking stamper?
Anyway I think it's a great idea, but also I am so used to doing my stamping choosing what part of the design I want on my nail, that I don't even think that I want all the design on my nails anymore lol.
Honestly so curious about other experimenting videos!
They have videos on you tube now
@@coleentowery5370 uhm yes, I just ment to say that I want to see specifically Kelly doing that, thank you.
The clear stamper isn’t squishy enough to be used as a shrinking stamper. That’s why they sell both stampers. It has to do with its material makeup that makes it clear. It keeps it unable to stretch as much without ripping. It would be great if they created a new material that is clear and able to stretch. Fingers crossed!
I've heard that the clear stampers aren't stretchy enough to use that way. They tend to tear more easily when stretched. So, I would suggest using one that you aren't worried about destroying.
As someone with small nails I really appreciate this review!! You went above and beyond with doing so many attempts to learn and then teach us.
Few can understand the suffering of us small nailed polish fanatics. We're a horribly mistreated "minority!"😉 💅😆 Fwp
I LOVE this video because it shows how much work goes into the work you do and also to get to the skill level you have. Sometimes I think we get discouraged by influencers being so good at what they do, but this video shows how much work is being done behind the scenes. Thanks 🙌🏼
Whoah, that's a lot of attempts 😂 Thank you for your determination! That was definitely interesting to watch. And you just inspired me to redo my manicure tonight. Time to get the stamper out of the box!
I remember the non-clear stamping days too! That and ruining the stamper with acetone was what strayed me away... but nonetheless, I mainly do free hand nail art now! :D
I have a few thoughts to share regarding the shrinking stamper system.
First, rather than stamping down on the nail, try to hold the stamper with the stamp facing up and place your nail over the stamp rather than vice versa. It’s a lot easier to line your nail up over the stamp. It’s still tricky to get things *perfectly* lined up, but it’s waaay easier to end up with something successful than stamping blind from above.
Second, I had the same idea about using the clear stamper as the shrinking piece of the equation and did EXACTLY WHAT YOU PREDICTED... ACK! Ripped my stamper. Boo!
Third, I wish this system came with some kind of clear plastic ring that you could push down over the sticky stamper and stretch the sticky stamper evenly to avoid the wonky unevenly shrunken stamp. I may try to McGuyver something. If I get anywhere, I’ll report back.
Thanks as always for your excellent videos. Your nail polish application and the production quality of your videos is by far the best of any I’ve come across. It’s really a pleasure to watch you work!
Ooh thanks for sharing your discoveries Jen!! I'm glad I didn't attempt it with my clear one for this video haha. And yeah I think some sort of ring stretcher thing would make a huge difference as I never got to stretch the stamper totally evenly!! 😪 It's certainly fun to experiment though haha!!
It’s super fun and it makes so many images usable in a way they wouldn’t be otherwise, just have to be okay with a bunch of attempts. I love your idea of making them into decals for more precise placement. Do you trim your decals before applying them? I always get ugly bumps, bubbles, and ripples along the edges when I make decals. Or do you make the decals large enough to cover the whole nail?
OMG, by the time I were able to master this technique, my nails would have grown enough to not need the shrunk version of the designs. Thank you for your patience and great explanation, Kelli. You always create super professional and beautiful videos.
I’ve been doing this for a while using one of my clear stampers. I sort of stretch it and then pick up the image on the stretch stamp. It is harder to keep the stretching even, but it totally works with clear stampers!
I came here to wonder if this would work!
If it helps, I recently purchased a 1.5 inch silicone o-ring gasket for a hot water heater, to help the stamper stretch the images evenly... I know it sounds strange but it fits my large marshmallow stamper head perfectly! I also have a baby bottle lid with the nipple removed that fits my Maniology double sided neon shrinking stamper. I wish I could post a picture or video to show you. They both work really well to evenly stretch the stamper heads. Just be carful not to press too hard. I’m sure it could do some damage.
@@christinacompton4117 that’s a great idea! I’m totally going to try it. Thanks!
I’ve been wondering if I should buy the shrinking stamper! So glad you’ve made this video
Haha happy to help!!
No don't buy it You can do the pull back method with any soft squishy stamper. Waste of money.
I just use my clear pureen stamper from Walmart. It is soft enough to pinch in at 4 corners stamp the image, release and stamp right on you nail and you can see where to place it. It still takes a little practice and the use of both hands, but it works.
I just bought that kit that and have small nails! I really only bought it for the images and the clear stamper. Now I can't wait to try it!!!💅
@@cristinaimpoverished7435 good luck, hope you like it. To me that’s the only way to shrink. I need to see where to place it.
I like the idea that you could distort the image in a variety of ways depending on how you pull the yellow stamper head. Not just to shrink. (Think carnival funny mirror)
I love how determined you are to figure this out to help your viewers. And I would have had to take a break as well, that was a lot to put up with! Thank you for taking us along with you in your learning process. :D
Oh I can't WAIT for the stamping with non-stamping polishes!! I'm also so happy you did this video, you're the best 💜
Thanks for posting this! I decided to try to stretch a back up stamper I had from what’s up nails that I’d mistreated (there was a time I didn’t know they don’t like acetone) over a maniology bottle and that seemed to work... until it started to rip. Do be careful if you try!
Ooh geez thanks for the warning!!!
I appreciate you showing all your attempts. It shows me “what if” so I can see what happens. Thank you!
Thank you for taking one for the nail polish loving team.
Oh my goodness thank you for this!! I’ve been on the fence about this item and you just made the decision for me lol 😆
Haha! Happy to help!!
Thank you for reviewing this stamper! I'm so into stamping lately (and I have and love both your plates)! I knew I'd heard about shrinking the designs somewhere before but I couldn't remember. lol I'll be picking this up with my next Maniology order. By the way, I can't wait for your Orly collab polishes to launch!!! I bought the Day Trippin' collection because of your swatch and review video and I'm feelin Orly these days.
Kelli, please do a video on all of your favorite jelly/crelly polishes!
yes! that is a great idea. i would like that too.
I find that most of the time when people talk about spooky experiences it can be attributed to sleep paralysis and the sleep/wake state you mentioned, even though we all love a ghost story!
I've been so curious about this stamper, so excited that you tried it! Thank you!
It's definitely an awesome concept!
I had already bought this since I have super small nails, however I haven’t used it yet. I am so glad you did this video, it’s so helpful!
I just found you… OMG!! Thank you for everything you do!! Your videos are clear, beautiful quality and super informative! ❤️❤️
Oh thank you so much Ashlee!!
We need a video of favorites base, top coats and matte finish?! 💜
I agree! I've been hunting for that video as well. Although, after binge-watching many Kelli videos we can probably guess at some of them... we know the Cuccio base & high gloss top, & the Orly bonder base... and I'd guess the OPI matte top (perhaps also HT's matte). But, yes, please miss Kelli, I second that vote for base, top, & matte faves video. You and Cristine have taught & inspired me so very much for nail decorating joy! Thank you.
Oh my... i had no idea that existed ! Thanks for showing us ! And that’s actually such a brilliant idea, as you explained how it worked i was like oh my god of couuurse 😂 cause i couldn’t figure out how you could shrink a stamp 😅 that is so amazing i really want one now !!! Me and my small nails need it 😍
WOW! That shrunken design with the metallic polish looked exactly like DIAMONDS on your nails!!! Super cool accidental effect! Thank you for trying this out! XOXO Heidi
Oh man this seems like way more effort than it’s worth 😫 Thank you for investigating this for us!!
I want to try stamping. Love that you have been doing videos on it.
not sure if nail tutorial or motivational video on perseverance. well done, kelli!
p.s. what if you made marks at 3, 6, 9, and 12, so at least you know where the center is?
LOL. I did almost give up after attempt number 8. And that's a smart idea!!!
It motivated me 🤷🏽♀️
I love me some maniology, I have hundreds of products, but Clear Jelly Stampers has a marshmallow stamper for shrinking images. They are only $2! For shrinking the images I just hold the stamper, upside down, pinch the edges together with both hands and stamp the image directly. You decrease the issue of the image drying on the clear stamper before you can shrink it. I actually DM'd you my Beetlejuice nails on Insta, where all the images have been shrunk cause I have small nails too. The only tip I have for stamping with an opaque stamper is just lots of practice and rolling that image. Hope this helps!
Thanks for making this video! I was really curious about this.
Great video! Thank you Kellie doing above and beyond :) I don’t know if I’ll try this method myself. I do remember seeing a similar way on the maniology Facebook live streams. Shrinking stamps, by holding a stamper tightly and picking up the design straight from the plate.
I’ve gotten into stamping because of you 💕 love it
Aw yay!!! 💜💜💜
Holy crap your eye shadow looks are always so fricken pretty!!! 😍😍😍
Oh you are too kind Lisa!! Thank you!!
What an interesting way to shrink the design! I've always just held the squishy stamper head and used both pointer fingers and thumbs to stretch the stamper. I'll have to try the hack of putting it on a polish bottle!
Also, here's some tips:
The decal option is the easiest way to do this with super detailed designs.
When trying to apply from opaque stamper it is easier to line up the design beside your nail and roll it on, it would be so much easier if you can hold your finger and stamper up to your face while doing it. But I imagine that would be an awkward camera angle for you 😂
Some fine details can be lost when trying to stamp so that's important to keep in mind when picking a design.
Thank you so much for doing this review and giving us these tips!! I’ve been so curious as I too have shorter nails. I think I’m gonna try this and see what happens!!
Haha let me know how it goes for you!!!
Ah, the old struggles of opaque stampers. I remember when the first clear stampers came out and I felt like they were the most revolutionary nail art innovation in modern history! lol
I did Not know this was a thing!!! Thank you so very much Kelli, for sharing this and devoting a video to it!!! I probably will pick one up at some point, because I want to learn nail stamping, and my nails are shorties too. :)
Also, really looking forward to your upcoming video about your suggestions for regular polish (and or brands) to use in place of stamping polish. :)
Thanks for the Orly bonder basecoat tip too!!! :)
Kelli I have many clear stampers and replacement heads. I will try it with a clear head. I think it will work. Thanks for the idea of placement over a Polish bottle for stretching and the great review.
That's funny because I always have the opposite problem. Nails are long and design isn't big enough to cover my whole nail when I want to do a full design. 🤗
Haha! That's when I find those full plate images work well!
Also, I forgot to mention your makeup combined with your shirt? Beautiful! It's giving me fall vibes. 😍 And I've been wondering if you were still having your creepy night vision things. I'm glad they've left you alone for awhile!
Woah so cool! I'd love to see you try this with the uv stamping gel to see if it works with that type too.
Yesss. I'd love to see a video about stamping WITHOUT stamping polish. I've only used holo taco brand to stamp so idk if its just me, or if that's just what it does. 🤷♀️ so I cannot wait to see that video, ma'am 😁
this is such a cool idea! i just feel like i can do the same method with a normal squishy stamper with the yellow one
Let me know how that goes! I'm gonna order another clear one and try it haha
hi, wonderful video, as always!! I do have a shrinking stamper from another brand for some years now, a lot of the opaque stampers work - very cheap stampers too. I tried with my clear stamper once and it survived the first careful try - a second, a bit bolder try broke it.
This works great, but double stampers have existed for years. In fact I have one where both stampers are clear, but I honestly just use the technique where you stretch the stamper back (kinda like you did the yellow) before picking up on an image. It works pretty well with practice, and skips a step.
Ooh I gotta try that!
@@KelliMarissa Watch Guylene325's review of the Maniology stamper, she shows how you used it, then the technique I mentioned. I find it much easier, but it might not be for everyone!
Great video, love the idea, especially since I have really small nails. I feel like I need to try this with my normal clear stampers. Also I live for the maniology sticky base coat, its changed my stamping game.
I am very slow at normal stamping so this looks really hard. But I love the idea of it! Awesome video!
I tried this a few weeks ago using two clear stampers, one being much bigger than the other and it WORKS! Thank you for explaining everything so nicely as always! You should try it with two clear stampers, the exact same technique
Oh man I def want to do it with a clear stamper!!
ahhh!! I am so glad you reviewed this!! I have wanted to see how this works! You're the best! I've been hoping you would review non stamping polishes stamping!! I hope you include some Believe Beauty polishes!!
Oh I definitely will, those are great for stamping!!!
@@KelliMarissa I've been really pleased with the majority of the ones from them I have tried! I found out about them from your swatch review and fell in love with them! Dollar General is the closest store with beauty products for me so I was so excited to hear they work well! #countryliving haha.
This video is so helpful! My friend and I had wanted to buy the shrinking stamper but it was sold out on maniology so we didn't get a chance. After watching this, I think I'll just deal with the designs that are too large - I have enough trouble doing my nails as it is haha
if they want to make it different from their normal one they could make it a bit cloudy or stay translucent but color it a bit, a fully opaque one looks so hard to use! thank you for the video 🥰 i’m glad the spooky sleep stuff stopped!!
oh and i wondered if you’d ever want to try to swatch polish pickup polishes! it’d be so fun to watch! i always wonder how easy to apply they would be since i’m still a beginner
oh no, I recently bought a bunch of moyou plates and never knew yours existed, it's so pretty! I'll have to keep my eyes open on ebay!!
When I first got the email from Maniology about the shrinking stamper, I of course came right to CZcams to check it out and found a couple really good videos by Guylene 325. She had actually done a video a couple years ago about shrinking AND stretching stamps, so it was really interesting to hear her take on the set. Highly recommend those videos for anyone looking for more info!
Thanks for the recommendation!
I use a clear (!) sticky stamper for this, and it works perfectly :D And also a slimmer polish cap to push the stamper head over, i find that you have more control over it this way :D
Thanks for your video! I do know that the reason they have the opaque stamper for shrinking is because it’s more resilient than clear stampers and endure the stretching, while clear stampers can rip apart easier.
I am so glad you did this review! I have shorter Nails as well and find it hard to get full images onto my nails. I had been looking into this but I wasn't sure if it actually worked. Such a great video and thank you for all of your tips. I am definitely going to buy this... completely unrelated I went on Amazon and bought the 24 10 oz bottles of modelones gel polish and totally blamed you for it... LOL
Haha! Oh man I'm considering buying another one of those 24 polish sets because they were SO GOOD!!
Same here! Except it was Sally's for general nail necessities when I realized that 90% of my polishes were dark purples & blues with special finishes. Not much variety to be had there lol!
I might just try this with a regular clear stamper. They definitely could have made this better but hopefully they improve! Great idea for us short nail girls
I'm gonna try it too! I just wanna order a backup clear just in case I ruin it hahaha
This video was great! Such a neat product :) This reminds me of old school stamping where we didn't have clear ones bahaha
Woah, I'm so early! I have nothing clever to say.... oh well I'm here and excited for a new video :)
Haha! Happy to have ya here!
From the title I thought there was going to by a tiny nail shrinky dink machine. One of the best 90’s toys ever! I still have some shrinky dink jewelry. It’s a nifty stamper
Handy review video and helpful tips. Thank you!
Happy to help!!!
Ooo, I need one of those!! My nail beds themselves are quite skinny so even when my nails are long, I dont have much room for big designs
I definitely love the idea of being able to fit a full design on my little nails!
I was just saying to myself the other day I’d love an invention like this and here it is! I’ll find my genius product to invent one day. 🤔
I was so curious about this!! I didn’t get to buy it in time
Thanks Kelli I tried this last year when I got back into stamping but it just reminded me why I gave up back in the early days when Konad rubber stamps were all there was. I just can’t get a decent placement with out a clear stamper. I tried with a clear stamper head and yep definitely tore it, I wouldn’t recommend, but if you ever find away around this please make a part 2 and share your secrets.
Yeah it's definitely waaay hard without a clear stamper, I'm so glad stamping has improved since the konad days haha
So a helpful tip is after you transfer the image to the yellow stamper take a regular clear top coat after it dries and gently cover the image. Once it dries than you can peel it off to make a decal, you can also fill it in to make a reserve decal. 🙂 Apply a sticky base coat to you nail allow to dry for about 45 secs until tacky and then apply the decal. Hope this works! 👍🏻 Great video, you've got patience.
She did mention this method
@@lisathomson3057 Yes she did however I just informing that the best method for this shrinking stamping method is the top coat method. Less frustration, work smarter not harder. 👍🏻 Plus you can see where you place the stamp with the decal.
Is it weird that I have some ideas for the wrinkly metallics? Great review, super informative.
Smart vid, maybe a ring or a short tube to resize the stamper as you push it through would be better than your hand for an undistorted print. Kelli, I think you need a 3D printer to print the perfect shrinking adapter, so you could use it without the first stamper.
Ok that would be an exaggerated action, but you would have a resizing stamper for it and would save time. (Not counting the development time for the adapter.) 🤓😅💜
P.S. This eye makeup looks amazing in front of the camera.😃
I didn't even know there was something like this on the market :D
Very cool. Off subject are you excited to see the new holo taco and cirque colors being released this week? Oh! Congratulations on your Orly collection, can’t wait to see them!!!
I haven't shrunk a design in years but I had dedicated clear stamp for just that with a few backup refills. It does work but as already stated it's rough on the stamper.
I need an eyeshadow tutorial on that look 😍
Actually I don't, because I can't wear that colours but I still wanted to compliment you on it 🙈
you can use a clear squishy stamp head the same way you can use the maniology stamper. It takes a little more concentration on making sure you are pulling the stamper evenly (if you get what I mean), but give that a try instead. Thanks for a great video. Rose
🤔 neat idea. I may try this with two clear stampers as I am hopeless with opaque ones
One option would be to just use the shrinking stamper directly for the whole stamping instead of using the clear stamper in the beginning. Less steps=quicker! But then you have to use the squished shrinking stamper to get the image from the plate which it might need some practise. Also instead of sticky base coat you could use foil transfer glue to get the image to stick to the nail :)
Small nail club member, right here!
Thank you so much for trying this for us! i have very short and narrow nails so i really wasn't thinking i could do this. i was wondering, could you use gel polish for the stamp so it doesn't dry fast on you? I'm new to nail stuff so sorry if this is a stupid question. keep up the great videos with your happy, sunny disposition it's such a joy to watch
I also have short narrow nails. Moyra has a shrinker that's kinda expensive, but good.
I still have my older opaque winstonia stamping heads (from before I had the clear ones) that I still use with those plaates that refuse to accept the clear ones. I totally don't need to buy a new one, but I can use it for this technique. I bet it'll work
I feel like the color is more pliable and that is why they went that route. I am just guessing though. I am, for sure, going to try this out once it is back in stock. Oh glad you got your weird experiences figured out.
Yeah I found the yellow to be a lot squishier!
You once mentioned that you can use regular polish for stamping too, I've tried it a few times and failed lol. Will you make a video showing your technique for it?
Like the concept of this stamper, just too much work for me. Great review! 👍👀💜
respectfully looking at the bow polishes in the background 👀
Haha! Coming soon!!!
I found bow through Facebook ads. I love them
8:00 love the goth vibes🥰💖💫
I use a clear one to shrink stamps all the time. It is from born pretty but I'm sure it would work. It is probably a little rough on the stamper so a spare one is probably a good idea. ☺️
I think a couple years ago I saw people using their regular stampers, pulling them back, and using that to pick up an image off a stamping plate. That way you eliminate the extra step of transferring the image from one stamper to another. Maybe that technique would work for this stamper.
Interesting thing they come up with. I think it would work better if they used a semi clear stamper- maybe one you can still see through but is tinted? Thanks for showing us!!
The concept of a shrinker is so cool. Seems simple, but ends up being a bit complicated lol. I wonder if the technology will progress in the future. Like maybe someone will develop a clear version maybe a clear one with a tint to differentiate between that and the regular one? Also there must be a way to make some sort of device to stretch the rubber stamp pad evenly to avoid the image getting warped. Also would it be possible to go in reverse and expand an image? There are so many experiments to be done.
Haha it really is the start of a fun new sort of "technology" for stamping - I do love to see the improvements made over the years! I hope they continue to develop it.
Man I love the idea behind this but I’m bad enough at normal stamping 😂
Me too! I'm thinking the base coat trick might help!
Figured out how to do this with one stamper!!! Stretch the stamper on the top of the bottle and place the plate over top of it. Remove it and then let go of the stamper!
Could you review live love polish? :)
Give me nail decals any day! This is just too much work! Lol
This pull the stamper back technique is one I used back in the day. Not ideal, but you don't need to buy a special stamper to do this. It will work with any soft squishy stamper. If it dries too quickly just use a sticky base coat on the nail you are stamping. No need to transfer to 4 or 5 different stampers unless it is words or #'s you need to mirror.
I really did cheer after attempt 11, haha!
I totally identify with your sleep stories-- I used to wake up thinking there was an aggressive dog in my room! It stopped happening once I started taking melatonin supplements, though.
ooh I actually just recently bought melatonin, but I haven't taken it yet 😅😅
I am a horrible sleeper, so I tried taking melatonin. It causes me to trip! Lol. I get crazy vivid dreams. At first I thought, well, that can't be right. Tried it a couple more times, same experience! 😜😂
Literally applying base coat right now and in one of my totes (of nail polish) I see an old 2014-16 opaque stamper
