Stamped over Enchanted Polish August 2013 with Konad Special Nail Polish in White.
Stamped over Enchanted Polish Autumn with Konad Special Nail Polish in Black.
Here is a picture before topcoat, it doesn't look as great on camera but I swear it looked
awesome in person!
The black dries matte and Autumn was shiny and holo under it it really "popped" in person!

I love stamped nails! I should stamp my nails more! Why don't I?!
Nail Stamping is super fun and a relatively easy way to do fun nail art!
Once you get it down pat it only takes a few extra minutes and adds so much!
I have tried many stamping plates (Bundle Monster, Cheeky, Fab Ur Nails & more!)
Konad are some of the best and easiest to use. They are also more expensive than other brands though.
I only have a handful of Konad plates but the ones I do have stamp perfectly.
I think they are easier to use than some other cheaper competitors. They are perfect for beginners!
Here are a few tips for newbies!
Can't get the design to pick up from the plate?
Lightly Buff your stamper with a nail file or buffing block!
Don't use a grit too low or too high. (I prefer 220-300, 180 is too rough and 400 is too gentle.)
Having trouble getting the design to stamp onto you nail completely?
Sometimes I like to add a coat of a Strong Adhesion base coat on top (yes on top!) of my base polish before stamping! I find that it helps stick the design on. I use China Glaze's Strong Adhesion base coat.
Is the clean up a hassle?
Tape around your fingers before stamping!
Especially if you are using Konad Special Nail Polish in Black,
the clean up is a gazillion times easier!
When the black gets wet from the brush during cleanup it seeps into every nook and cranny around your nail and cuticle and is practically impossible to remove.
If you are a newbie I
highly recommend using Konad special polishes, I use them even though I've been stamping for a while. Sure I use other brands sometimes but the Konad ones work the best for me absolutely
hands down.
The black one is a pain to clean up, but it just goes on so damn crisp!
And for the love of all that is holy don't use the metal scraper than comes with stamping plates!
Use a plastic card from a store card (CVS, Kroger, etc) or a old credit card, they make it exponentially easier!
