These look lovely Purebeauty. Nice & delicate 2 the eye :)
 
I have all the 'authentic konad products' and am stamping quickly but my pattern seems to stay on the rubber stamper and only 1/2 the polish is transferring onto the nail?! Please help!! x
 
My mums shellac and konad

they are beautiful, can I ask what polish you used for the stamping and did you remove the inhibition layer first or not.

Many thanks :hug:
 
Thank you. 😊It's an old CND polish called mirage.
I do the top coat, wipe with disperse, then apply konad, then shellac top coat again. You have the option then to remove it if it goes wrong.
 
My nails! Shellac - rubble
 
Sorry and pic!

OPI My Private Jet. Would have done it over Layla Flash Black but the holo would have been distracting for me :biggrin:

I am currently creating colour swatches and am opening packets left right and centre!! These are Royal Purple over silver and Brown over orange

Hi all


Just found this thread... I love it :)
Can anyone give me any tips of what to do when the design it too small to roll all the way from one side to another? Or on long nails? Is there anything that can be done?

Here's a pic of my nails the other day!
These are super cute!!! I have a knock off version of this plate, it's a really great design.

I don't no about others but find the lace one I have to just match the end of the print to the start of the print on the stamper then just take a chance! Anyone else have any ideas?
This mani is absolutely divine!!! I love the white on black and your stamping is perfection!!!

My mums shellac and konad
I hope your mum liked this as I sure do!!!
 
Ladies I hope you can give me a hand :hug:

I love konad (you all know that I do) but recently I have been having problems. I know that I am lacking in the inspiration department and my glitter addiction has been a little overwhelming of late:o (I should change my username to glitter whore). But I just can't get a nice clean stamp on my nails lately.

My stamps are coming out all smudged (as if I pressed too hard) and I have been having problems getting full nail designs stamped well on the free edge. I think the free-edge problems are my fault but after A LOT of experiments I'm starting to think that the smudged designs aren't.

I know I am fallible :)Scared:) but I'm really starting to think my stamper has gone bad...Can that happen??? I have been using it for over a year now, do you geeks think that the rubber can be over exposed to acetone or just get old?

The stampers are only rubber so i would say with heavy use :Scared: and lots of cleaning I think they can break down which may be your smudging issue xx

I too love your nails! Amazing and only wish I could do something as inventive as you! I have just bought a nailsinc holographic glitter to paint over my french shellac Inbetween changing to stop me changing so much! Am terrible and was changing at least once a week!
