My creative juices are definitely flowing! Thanks again for all your help in the blogs! Thanks for coming back to give me an update on what you thought of the m65 plate. Yes, please do share some photos with me. Awww…thank you so much! Hello,How are you? The links for where to buy Konad supplies online are in my post. There are some online currency converters you can use to give you a better idea of the exchange rate.
I got my konad stuff but i didnt get instructions? Sometimes that helps you transfer the image better. I Just started doing my nails again and have been wanting to get into Nail Art…this Konad tutorial is just what I needed! Your tutorial is fantastic. I love it. Sometimes it just takes more practice. Next time try buffing the stamper and cleaning the scraper in between.
It made a big difference for me when I tried to get certain designs to transfer. Hope your future attempts get better and better! I am hopeful that there is a way to use ordinary polish to stamp, if not, Konad polish here I come! Thanks for visiting and leaving me a comment. Yes, pigmented, metallic polishes like China Glaze Millennium work extremely well for stamping.
And if you want to stamp with a non-metallic polish, I heard that some of the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes work well — Whirlwind White and the black one. You just have to make sure that whatever non-special-polish you use, it is opaque in one coat and is on the thick side. Hi Mary, I am still waiting on my Konad Stamping kit. I ordered it directly from Konad www. On there you are able to make up your own nail stamping kit. You can choose the kit size you want small, medium, large basically and each one comes with the special nail polish you can choose the colours you want , image plates you can choose the plates you want , the stamper and scraper.
The number of nail polishes and image plates varies depending on what kit size you choose. I just hope that I am as good at it as you are! Please take photos of your first few tries. And feel free to post them on my Facebook wall! I ordered it directly from Konad. On there you are able to make customized kits with polishes, image plates, a scraper and stamper. I chose to get the largest kit which included 4 special polishes I chose white, black, silver and pastel pink , 3 image plates I chose M60, M62 and M69 a stamper and scraper metal.
Your site is awesome and will definitely be back to reference this tutorial as well as check for reviews on other products P. Keep up the excellent work!! And the company is quite clever constantly putting out so many awesome sales. Hi I am thinking of purchasing the starter kit from Konrad, iv been trying to do as much research on it as possible as it is completely new to me!
I specialise in gel manicures using bio sculpture gel and Jessical GELeration! What I wanted to know is can you use these stamps on the gels as this is really important for me to know before hand! Thank you. If any of my readers see this and know the answer, please reply and let Gem know! Thank you, your site is very useful and helpful to me. Thank you sooooooo very much for this tutorial. Yes, I highly recommend the plastic one. Hi again!!! Absolutely wonderful!!
Thank you for coming back to let me know! Thank you so much for the great intro to Konad, I have been getting really into nails and doing mostly free hand designs. Finally decided to study up on how these stamps worked and this was perfect! Glad that you found this tutorial useful! Hehe, so I created it to help others. It was my pleasure!
So, I wanted to make sure to show any mistakes or problems I came across in case it would help someone. Thanks for making all the hard work I put into this post well worth it! Feel free to post any manicures you do on my Facebook wall so that I can see and also so my readers can see! But that has nothing to do with the quality of image you can stamp—just a pet peeve of mine. The colors in this set are great. You get your basic black and white and a full rainbow of pastel and deeper shades.
There are also a few metallics in purple, dark green, silver, and gold which may be my favorite color of the set. Their opacity is great and when you see how creamy and pigmented these are you understand how they can be so opaque. Most of their bottles are mini sizes but you can get some of their colors including their Black and White Set in full-size bottles.
Born Pretty offers a huge range of colors and finishes in their stamping polish. I have some of their Temperature Changing Stamping Polish which is really just too fun to play with.
They also have multi-chrome Chameleon Stamping Polish which is metallic and color shifting. I have several Maniology stamping polishes bought with my own money and they are the best brand I have worked with so far.
They are quite thick and easy to spread and deliver the crispest image in my experience. Their opacity is near perfect and their pigmentation is rich.
They have all manner of neat finishes but their Bam! White and Straight Up Black are an indispensable part of my stamping supply bag. They offer a wide range of colors both individually and in collections. Twinkled T is an indie brand out of Los Angeles made up of a team of two women. But going by the buzz Twinkled T outperforms the bigger companies in opacity and detail. Their stamping polishes are thick and creamy, always a good sign and they swatch almost completely opaque.
Even their white looks phenomenal over black. Their only tripping point seems to be red over black, but that is almost across the board for stamping polish. They have a nice range of colors from the primaries to metallic, neon, and icy options all with cute names. Find more Twinkled T Stamping Polish information and reviews here. If you want to stamp holographics you either need to pick up special Holographic Stamping Polish by Born Pretty or you can reach for your Color Club nail polish.
Konad is a favorite among many in the stamping world, enough to include here despite not being one of my personal favorite brands. I would say that their stamping polishes stamp wonderfully over light colors and their white specifically stamps well over black. Not all of their colors are as opaque as other brands over darker colors however, so keep that in mind when making your decision.
Their polishes are six free and slightly thinner in consistency, though still thicker than regular polish. They are thinner than most specialized stamping polish but they manage to stamp very opaque. Essie polish are three free and a brand you can trust to last. I would say Nicole Diary has some of the more impressively opaque lighter colors.
It almost has a plasticy look like dried liquid eyeliner. All of their colors are decently thick, highly pigmented, and stamp very clearly. I would say, from watching several videos, that these polishes play better with a rubber or marshmallow stampers than they do with clear jelly stampers which seem to smear more.
Just an observation. Yea, yea, yea a Kristina nail polish blog!!!! I love the Sally Hansen Insta-Dry polish for stamping!!! I need to order some plates and supplies and get to stamping this weekend! What top coat do you use? After nail stamping for the first time a few weekends back, I used an OPI top coat after letting my nails dry for almost 20 minutes and my design smeared!
Make sure you check it out! I just love […]. All I can say is I love you blog and all your tips! I have ordered the stamping supplies from amazon and am hoping it arrives today. I just bought Going Grape because I figured it was a Insta Dri so it should be good and it looked so pretty. Oh well. Yeah, I found that out the hard way, too. I,m really inspired! U ROCK!! I have tried almost every polish I have and I have a problem with getting the polish to stay in the etching of the plate, I got a free Hello Kitty plate from Born Pretty, what am I doing wrong?
Stamping is a breeze. Just wondering if you could give a suggestions about what type of clear base coat is a good one? I have had trouble in the past with darker polishes staining my nails.
