I'm still getting the hang of stamping but some great things I've discovered or been told by some great bloggin gals<br /><br />*I was scraping TOO hard and pulling polish off the image, this may be why you aren't getting a crisp design. Are you using the scraper or a gift card? An old gift card or credit card is much kinder to your plate and I would scrape at a 45 degree angle softly. <br /><br />*I've used nothing other than Seche Vite w/stamping and it works wonderfully! I think it's your topcoat. I've also read to run your nails under cold water after stamping and before adding a top coat. <br /><br />*I've been "rolling" too hard and not picking up the image. You would think the harder you pick up the image w/your stamp the better right? The softer I've done the roll the better my image is.<br /><br />*I would also file down your stamp so it picks up polish better.<br /><br />Good luck!!Freshiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385052535871724452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648723237881693660.post-35913839100802055162010-09-01T07:53:10.545-05:002010-09-01T07:53:10.545-05:00Orlicia - Thanks, I had actually planned on doing ...Orlicia - Thanks, I had actually planned on doing something different when I sat down to do this, and then the idea for this just kind of popped into my head.<br /><br />Alice - I wish I had the time/skill to do such pretty free-hand nail art, yours is gorgeous!<br /><br />Susie - I used the Seche Vite last night, and was very careful about application, and it didn't seem to smudge, yay! Perhaps it was a combination of the application as well as maybe my particular OPI top coat (which I still love as well, so will use for non-Konad nails).Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979565153481553815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648723237881693660.post-8117050730616325592010-09-01T05:00:53.767-05:002010-09-01T05:00:53.767-05:00You are doing so great. I love this.
The only thin...You are doing so great. I love this.<br />The only thing I can give advice on is the top coat. I use only Konad Top Coat 'but' I think the key to getting it on without smearing is to make sure you have a LOT on your brush and don't actual touch the brush to the nail but hover over top of the nail and don't go over the same spot twice. :)<br />Great job,<br />SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634678963382222888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648723237881693660.post-2758475459986593612010-09-01T03:47:05.331-05:002010-09-01T03:47:05.331-05:00:) I've never tried layering with Konad...
