Re: Nail Art Stamping



I am such a perfectionist when I paint my nails and I clean the mess around the nails with a q-tip and a tissue wrapped around a nail file after I did my nails and before I take the pictures.

Right now I only have two Konad images plates but there are 12 new image plates and the double sided stamper on the way.

Re: Nail Art Stamping

yay! seriously capmor I saw your nail swatch stamp on your blog and that helped me want to use cg romantique to stamp!!

but today i went to buy a few more from romantique--got adore (blueish), cherish (greenish) & devotion (silver). going to use them to stamp, prob wouldnt use em as bases.

I also bought a few others, all opi--> purple with a purpose, curry up dont be late and banana bandanna. these i think ill more likely use as bases.

but holy poop i saw the neon day glo looking ones, looked amazing!!! office appropro though? not sure yet.

lol it was funny though, dont you just want to scream konad rocks?! ppl @ chatters beauty supply where i bought the polishes today asked if my nails were airbrushed. i am quite self conscious but tried to graciously accept the compliments, but i told them about wowsocool.com!

i was wearing ydkj by opi as a base w/ opi's alpine snow as the plaid stamped overtop.

currently plotting what other plates i want!!

Re: Nail Art Stamping

hmmm doing some googling ppl were saying they use old mini disc holders or game cube holders.

ooooooo what about a 3.5inch floppy disk holder, either flip book or hard case that you can flip through your stuff.

I know what you mean, I'm a perfectionist when I do my nails, too and I do the EXACT same thing with the q-tip lol then I use a nail corrector afterwards for the tiny hard to reach sides.

Wow that's a good idea. I'd love to see how that's working for those that have done it already.


I've been busy lately so it's been a while since I posted here, but I did take pics of my nails for you guys! I'll try to post pics of my nails tomorrow for you guys.

I was thinking about this over the weekend actually... CD binders were the first thing that came to mind...followed up by mini photo albums.

Re: Nail Art Stamping

^^ would A5 plastic sheet protectors work? The ones that fit in ring binders? then you could add a sticker on the front which showed which stamps are on that plate...

Do you mean the kind with pockets that hold CDs? I think so...
e.g. CD Page Inserts to Fit 3 Ring Binder

I'm in the process of finishing up my vanity area (read: re-organizing all of my nail stuff) so when I'm done I'll be sure to post what I did with my Konad.

Re: Nail Art Stamping

has anyone tried putting two colours on a single stamp pattern (ie diff colour for petals and for the stem)?

I'm thinking of trying today. Base is banana bandana (quite sheer, bleck i think i need at least 3 coats, plus am i getting sick or do i actually detect a bit of banana scent?). going to try custom kicks and purple w/ a purpose on top.

i love you guys sharing...perhaps i will if i get my camera going!

Yay I just got my first Konad stuff in the mail today! I got 2 plates and the stamp+scarper but I didn't buy any of their special nail polishes. I tried stamping with a China Glaze white n/p but it stamps on really sheer.. Are the special polishes a good investment?

Some girls use other n/p for stamping. I personally did not try other brands yet. I think you should get white and black n/p from konad and for other colors you can play with other brands.
Wich plates did you get?

How are you guys getting such crisp pictures of your work?! I've done a few looks but my pictures suck! (And most of the time I'm a pretty decent photog!) :P

I have to agree with this. I think some colours in other brands (e.g. China Glaze's OMG or China Glaze's Romantique collection) stamp quite well. However I've tried many other CG polishes that don't really work at all. I'd also suggest getting the white and black (I have black pearl) special polish from Konad...and, if you want something shiny, perhaps the silver as well. (Though I hear chrome polishes from Sally Hansen work far better!)

I usually use Macro Mode on my camera, trying to hold the camera as far from the nails as I can, but use zoom. When the camera is too close to the object it either picture comes out blurry or not taking pictures at all.

I love M57 also, I just got it couple of days ago.
I did not buy my rhinestones from them, but I got them from sallys beauty supply store. They are fun, I used one on my flower, but you cant really see it on the pic.

Your nails look lovely. How do you get your stamps to work?

I can't get mine to transfer from the plate on to the stamp.
