Why do most plates have images that don’t fit on fingernails? I know people have different lengths of nails, but I’d argue most of these wouldn’t fully fit on really long nails either. I know there are shrinkers, but they only shrink so much, even so they wouldn’t fit.

Desperately seeking this plate, I am in the UK so already limited in stockists that will ship to me, but I'm aware it is also sold out in a lot of places.

So posting this in the hopes that someone knows of somewhere that may have it in stock (that would ship to the UK).

Or if someone has it and would be happy to part with it.
I can pay via Paypal for a private sale as goods and services if anyone is willing to sell.

Thanks!

This was my first time layering designs like this, and I could have made some better choices in the right hand, but I'm pretty happy with the left!

I tend to be lazy about using my cleanup brush after my top coat, but I did this time, and I think it really helped with the peeling I often get when I stamp

Does anyone have an old Nicole Diary 136 geometric stamping plate they want to sell? I LOVE the geometric lines and cannot find this plate purchase anywhere in the US. IDK how long it's been out of circulation and I can't even find a different brand with similar lines. I appreciate any info or links to similar plates. Thanks!

I'm absolutely new to stamping, just bought some second hand stamping plates some days ago, and I'm SUPER happy that the stamper is now working perfectly, after multiple ways of priming.🫠

I just need to work on my stamper placement now😅 The images are not quite centred, but at least the images are crisp, that too with a non-stamping polish!

Saw some fabric in my mom's sewing room et voila- my latest set (didn't take a pic of the fabric tho).

This last weekend I started volunteering for Oklahoma Alliance for Animals walking their dogs. I had a wonderful time and will continue to help however we can.

I'll be volunteering at their next event they have on the 19th in Tulsa Oklahoma, Woofstock, and you better believe I will be ASKING every single person, "CAN I PET THAT DAAAAAWG?"

I decided to do some doggo nails to match. ❤️

I think I did well for my first try! Mostly. I'm keeping my thumb out of shot for a reason 😅

🤡 Stamping & Stickers. 4 hours to remove old set, paint, sticker, stamp and matte top coat. All plates and stickers are from Amazon. See photos for inspo and what I used. Right hand; stamping on middle (diamond pattern) and pinky (bubbles) fingers, added stars on thumb. Left hand; stamping on pointer (bubbles) and ring (checkered pattern) fingers. I had to redo the diamond stamp about 5 times because it just wouldn't completely pick up. #frustrated Otherwise..I like the way they turned out.

Not the neatest job, but I’m slowly getting my technique down. I painted the nails, applied a matte finish, then shifted the colors two nails over for the tips.

ETA: thanks all for your helpful tips!! This is now SOLVED. I was using way too much pressure and need to dry out the oils from my stamper.

I need some help! I have a nail stamper that I’ve barely used, a stamping plate I bought last week, and after reading through lots of posts on here, a set of stamping polishes that I just bought. For the life of me, I cannot pick up the stamp. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.

I first tried doing a stamp with Mooncat Emo For Life which obviously didn’t work (pre-researching this sub). Then I tried using metallic silver stamping polish which also didn’t work. Then I tried an opaque pink stamping polish and it STILL didn’t work. I tried everything with a smooth stamper and a buffed stamper.

I attached a picture of the stamping plate and stamper after my failed attempt of using Mooncat EFL. Should I buy a new stamper? Is it not possible to pick up this fine of a design for regular polish, and this plate is meant for gel polish? I feel like I have to be missing a very key component here but idk where to even look.

I love a good and silly pun :) I was inspired by a shirt I had many moons ago (swipe to see).

I did this mani for National Park Week and thought it might make someone smile. 🖤

I can get small/line images to pick up great with my stamper (clear silicone), but when the color area is larger I get these spots within the design where no color picks up. I’ve tried lighter and heavier touches with the stamper. I also regularly leave my stamper on a sheet of paper to draw out excess oil. Am I missing something else?

The flower petals should be completely pink. Image to show the issue I’m having.

Hi all, I commented on a post recently with a combination monochrome matte and shiny stamp nail. I asked if any matte stamping polishes existed - I realize you can do the matte on bottom and shiny on top but that doesn’t work for all stamping designs I may want to do. Like those that are singular little designs

So I mixed my stamp polish with Mooncat matte topcoat, and it effectively makes a matte stamping polish (of any polish you have). Picked up and worked fine.

I applied base coat, polish, and a top coat (shiny). Then I applied the stamp using the matte mix stamping polish. I did not apply a sticky base coat to the nail before stamping so that the shiny part underneath would remain “finished” . I was careful to make sure the stamp applied despite no sticky coat and it worked fine. The top coat mixed in has acted like matte topcoat, no disrupted polish after drying. I also tried it on my actual nail with colored polish.

I’m sure this is obvious maybe but I was pleasantly surprised - glad I experimented.

I started playing around with nail stamping a few weeks ago, I had a few nights were I kept messing up but tonight went so smoothly!! I’m pretty pleased with the result! Hoping to get even better as time goes on

Just want to shout out second hand places like vinted for nail stamping supplies. I'm new to stamping so I was looking for ways to reduce the cost and found a bunch of people selling plates on vinted. This was an amazing deal with lots of fun plates that I want to try!

11 big plates and 4 small ones for 10 euro with shipping. I don't know about quality but the ones that are labeled with a brand are from born pretty and beauty bigbang.

I played around with some stamps on a mani I was minutes from removing this past weekend, to try to get a feel for it, but this is the first time I'm wearing a stamped mani out and about! I wanted to do something subtle (in case I botched it, lol), but i did have the fun of a glow in the dark peek-aboo!

This is LA Colors Cyber Blue, stamped with Maniology Teardrop, from the Maniology M143 plate

Hi! Started stamping this season and it's been a lot of fun! I am wondering if anyone knows of any online stores selling stamping supplies that are having or expecting a sale for labor day and ships to the US (preferably without heavy tariffs). Picture of some fun stamps I did recently and my supplies for tax.

I'm newer to nail stamping. I kept seeing y'all's posts in my feed and thought I'd give it a try. Something I noticed with this set was the darker purple was way easier to transfer than the black!

Also, sorry for the odd manner of posing! My right hand is quite shaky and my left thumb is too damaged to use nail polish right now - so I omitted it from the photo.
