My New Toy

[River]

Hi,

I've just had a look and I'm still not sure how you "stamp" it on your nails.... Sorry if this sounds thick !

The nail is curved (i.e. not a flat surface) so how do you manage to get the stamp nicely across the nail ???

i got mine from www.training4beauty.co.uk very helpful and quick. it says to only use the special polishes they sell for the kit as it has to be quite thick. i havn't tried paints tho!

Just ordered mine - what a lovely company to deal with - extremely helpful. Can't wait for the postman to drop it through my letterbox now!!!!

Just had a look at the demo video on http://www.nailart.com.au and it all makes perfect sense to me now !!!

I got mine over the weekend and was having great fun with it !

It's really easy to use, however, I had one major problem. Whenever I put a topcoat on, the design smears. I waited until the design was completely dry, only pulled the brush over twice, but it made no difference.

Any advice on this bec ?????

HMMMMM.........i have had this happen once or twice. I havent been using top coat latley, i have been using gel, and the gel is not smearing the stamp. Try doing one soft, medium cover of clear polish. Perhaps your polish is not drying quick enough??? Does the design smear instantly or does it take a little while to smear???? Or try using gel to finish it.

Hi Bec,

No, it smears instantly eventhough I let the design dry completely ! I don't use gel :sad:

I found that if you left the design without a top coat, with the normal handling of your nails, the design scratches and doesn't look so good after a day or two...

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

i'm off to olympia tomorrow - which company am i looking for there who sells the stamping kit? any ideas! Thanks

 

[Rainbow girl]

Ive got one too . . . . . and just love it! I find freehand stuff bit difficult so its just perfect. Would advise anyone to give it a try

 

[River]

Hi Bec,

I have tried their own brand base and top coat (came with the kit), as well as my own top coat. Neither make any difference, it keeps smearing !!!

[~bec~]

bugger! bugger! tripple bugger!!! Im stumped!!! My advice now is....see if you can get onto the company and have a chat to them.....see what they think. If you do, let me know what they say, i'd be interested to know. xxoo

hi ya, i tried this kit out at the geek meeting last night and it was fab, we did find that if you applied the design and then applied top coat it smeared, but we tried another hand with base coat first then the design then top coat and that seemed to make a difference x

 

[River]

Hi,

Maybe I'm just being stupid, but I've tried it with the basecoat as well, but it still smears :cry:

I cant remember what Dilek said (she is queen at doing the stamping!) but she something like its not a pull motion as if you were applying polish as this seems to smear it but more a gentle movement over the top like blobbling the top coat cant quite remember now sorry! i know we tried mine with top coat and Pauline @ Fn without top coat to see if it still lasts x
