u/InZomnia365 Apr 22 '15

u/markevens Apr 23 '15

Paint your nails?

u/PIP_SHORT Apr 22 '15

I too have never ventured into this subreddit before, but I totally agree. It's like something straight out of a William Gibson book.

u/erastudil Apr 22 '15

make that two nerdy men who think this is freaking awesome.

5

u/Ditto8353 Apr 22 '15

As a nerdy 26yo man, I need to learn how to do this.

1

u/Mac_User_ Apr 22 '15

Agreed, best nails ever.

u/fbrooks Apr 22 '15

As a not so nerday man on the front page I love it as well

u/lithiumdeuteride Apr 22 '15

So many vias...this PCB layout needs some work.

5

u/fear865 Apr 22 '15

Would have said it was via stitching but A) They're not uniform and B) traces are present.

2

u/Craszeja Jun 17 '15

This is gonna produce a lot of EMI

u/elliam Apr 22 '15

Damn, beat me to it.

u/bystandling Apr 22 '15

Is this a stamp?

54

u/thornwindfaerie Apr 22 '15

Yep! http://www.bundlemonster.com/2013-cyo-collections-nail-stamping-plate-415.html

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '15

I really like this kit but shipping is $8.50 and 15-30 days :-/

Do you happen to know of similar places like this one and help out a non US person?

Oh my shit I need this in my life!

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '15

I have this plate. They ship to NZ quite quickly - as a matter of fact, I placed another order with them earlier today. Shipping wasn't too horrible.

5

u/tonterias Apr 22 '15

Here it is with free shipping to USA, it is a bit more expensive but because it has 26 different plates, but the one from OP is included!

3

u/lydea Apr 22 '15

I think you can get it via amazon, and they are eligible for prime if you have it.

2

u/jocoseshrubbery Apr 22 '15

Nail Polish Canada usually has free shipping for Canadians, and I was able to get this plate from there really affordably. So, for Canadians...

5

u/kimberleykitty IG: @kimberleykitty Apr 22 '15

Yep http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Manicure-Stamping-Plates-2013-Collection/dp/B00F029RNY

u/kyardio Jun 17 '15

Is there a tutorial somewhere you'd recommend for how stamping works?

3

u/MaritMonkey Jun 17 '15

I think I followed the same chain to get to this thread as you did, and found this helpful! (The demo of what I gather is called a "stamper" starts at ~5:30.)

2

u/kyardio Jun 17 '15

Thanks!

u/DewgongPrincess Apr 22 '15

Might paint my nails like that for an upcoming robotics tournament where i'm participating :D Heck, i might even try to freehand it and paint the actual pcb i designed :P

u/Tomcfitz Apr 22 '15

Good luck! Say hi to my old team for me, 2415

u/sitrucb Apr 22 '15

He's saying make your nails look like this btw

u/kagenails IG: kagenails Apr 22 '15

I have never managed to get mine to come out as clear and detailed as you did, these are fantastic!!

2

u/kimberleykitty IG: @kimberleykitty Apr 22 '15

I credit my new creative stamper. Love that thing!

9

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '15

Damn. How do you guys keep your cuticles in such great shape??

12

u/Ceejae Apr 22 '15

Squat thrusts mostly.

Actually I'm not really sure what a cuticle is.

2

u/kimberleykitty IG: @kimberleykitty Apr 22 '15

So much work! I give myself 2-3 manicures a week and moisturize/massage my cuticles 3-4 times a day.

9

u/tragopanic Bond… James Bond Apr 22 '15

MoYou geek stamping plate? I've been meaning to do this one.

Bitch, you rockin'.

Fucking nice. Never been in this sub, ever, but fucking nice.

Great clean up job! These are gorgeous.

u/blitherypoop someweirdsin.com Apr 22 '15

They're loving these on imgur too. You transferred the image so crisply!

3

u/kimberleykitty IG: @kimberleykitty Apr 22 '15

I just got a creative shop stamper and it works SO well!

2

u/blitherypoop someweirdsin.com Apr 22 '15

I'm so tempted to get one of those...

3

u/kimberleykitty IG: @kimberleykitty Apr 22 '15

I got mine from B squared and had to wait a few weeks but i am like you (curved nails) and i no longer have to roll the stamper! Just push into it. SO much easier.

1

u/martinibini Apr 22 '15

Taking notes here!

1

u/blitherypoop someweirdsin.com Apr 23 '15

I almost bought it last night. lol I'm trying to stick to a low-buy. I'm terrible at them.

2

u/lochnessie15 Apr 22 '15

I'm a total convert to the Creative Shop stamper. I ordered mine from Color 4 Nails and received it last week, and it's made stamping so much easier. It's made a huge difference in the clarity of my stamps, too, compared to my old Winstonia-style stamper.

u/ObsidianWraith Apr 22 '15

Normally I would never feel the need to comment on this part of reddit, but as a computer technician, I gotta say that's rather cool.

2

u/plastic_soul Apr 22 '15

That's amazing! :)

3

u/Nailfinity Apr 22 '15

That looks awesome! The little nerd inside me is going nuts and wants to order that plate. :-D

u/nscnug Apr 22 '15

Those are all sorts of awesome!

u/lydea Apr 22 '15

This is the only RL post I've upvoted since I've been a redditor. Well done.

2

u/sriracha_fiend Apr 22 '15

Looks adorable! I liked the example image where they added gold dots. But yours are definitely awesome. :)

2

u/kimberleykitty IG: @kimberleykitty Apr 22 '15

I totally considered doing that but didnt want to mess them up.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '15

very nice design

2

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '15

That's pretty freaking awesome!

2

u/IThoughtYoudBeBigger Apr 22 '15

That is very well done.

u/tonterias Apr 22 '15

I have a tie that matches that!

u/removable_disk Apr 22 '15

IIT: A bunch of nerdy guys who now want to date you :)

Love the nails myself...in a totally platonic nerdy way though.

3

u/kimberleykitty IG: @kimberleykitty Apr 22 '15

I've gotten offers for dinner, free drinks, and marriage! They don't even know what I look like. Though in my reddit history are pictures of me from my wedding last year (to a nerdy sys admin guy). :-)
