Can someone please explain how I use this?

[YummyMummy2014]

I ordered a nail art stamping kit off ebay to see what it was like and have a practice- it's arrived, typical ebay style no info or instructions and I have absolutely no idea how to use it
Can anyone help?
I thought it was going to be stencils that you place over the nail but it's these engraved disks-

Thanks!!

Paint with polish over the top of the design you want, make sure it's well covered. Take the scraper and scrape along the top of the plate to remove excess polish, place the stamp over the top of the design in a rolling motion and apply it the same way to the nail in a rolling motion.
If my explanation is crap just type 'how to use konad stamping kit' into youtube.

-Paint nails in desired base colour, let dry.
-Paint/dab polish in a different colour over the pattern on the engraved disc you want to use.
-Scrape over disc with the scraper to remove excess polish.
-Roll one of the ends of the rubber ended stick over the pattern to pick up the polish on the pattern.
-Roll the rubber tip over your nail to transfer the pattern.
Hope this helps

Sarah R on YouTube does some great stamping tutorials. She is a geek on this site too. 😊

Right I'm trying it- I'm making a mess
When I scrape the stamp I'm getting big smear-smudgy bits of colour around the shape and when I go to stamp it it's a big blobby mess!
I've tried normal polish and now I'm trying gel polish
Any tips?

From what I've read, apparently you have to use special stamping polish as normal and gel polish are too runny!

Hi, i bought a kit at professional beauty last yr it looks very similar only the plate was square i can use any polish with it.... Did you take the clear film off the plate i was caught with it didnt realise it was there (silly off me)was very hard to get off. I should have said nail polish not gel polish!!!

Gel polish doesn't work well with stamping. Its too thin.

I use konad and barry m foil effect polishes. There is an amazing polish called Mundo De Unas but I haven't tried it.

There are loads of stamping threads on here so take a look. Xx

Here's my favorite video on basic stamping - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0ISg2cvlKc&index=7&list=FLMtDYNMHjViqVyByaoLOJ1w

It also describes what makes for a good stamping polish and what does not. I've found that Konad, Mundo de Uñas, Sally Hansen Insta Dri all stamp well.

Sarah R makes some excellent videos as well. Just do a search.

You have to use special polishes! Although 4 of 'The Special' pokishes from Barry M work. Do not go buying their regular polishes though, as they wouldn't work! (Barry M's special colours are Gold, silver, pink & lilac. Their pink though I dislike as it is pale)..

Ah ok thanks I had no idea!
