Let me preface this by saying I am by no means a professional nail artist or anything. I am just your average person who has become interested in stamping and instead of having people go through the same process that I did, I rather share my experience to help people figure it out what choices are out there. This is my opinion and what works best for me. All of these products were purchased by me, of course. Stamping can be a lot of fun! It can also be the worst thing in the entire world know to man (along with watermarbling). There are different things that you have to keep in mind while stamping: The stamper, the polish, scraper, speed and the plate. I am going to break this down and talk stampers today.
Yes, I have a box of stampers. Before I start spouting off about which I prefer, I want to tell you about them...now I'm not going to go off about silicone marshmallow fluff puff because I don't even have time for all that riff raff. As far as that stuff goes, I like the ones that are squishy and a little tacky. Does it really help pick up the image off the plate...don't know the science behind that but I have never had a problem with those types of stampers.
Coverage is really the issue I had with stampers. Let the story begin...So a while back I bought the Salon Express stamping kit. The stamper is extremely hard and I could barely pick up the image off the plate. Eventually I was able to work it a little but didn't really feel like messing with it. That's it...it was a hassle. I hated it and actually threw it out. About a year later, one of my co workers gave the exact thing to me for Christmas. I was like really!? She was so excited and proud that she had the knowledge of what things I liked to do during my free time (as free as you can get working full time and being a mom to a very busy 2 year old).
Back to the stamper. This thing was so hard (that's what she said) no seriously it was so hard it hurt my nail bed when I would push down to transfer the image. I know what you're thinking... well genius aren't you supposed to roll the image on not push down. Yes, Yes you are but this made it really hard and annoying. If you were just slightly off when you started rolling it at the side of your nail, it wouldn't cover the whole nail because a part of the design got on the skin. GRRRR!!! This is why I gave up on it! I needed something bigger, softer.
This led me to this stamper. It is some cheapy stamper I bought on Amazon. It is super small however, the stamping head is a little softer so I found that I could easily pick up images. It was at least 10 times better than the other stamper. It doesn't have a great circumference by any means but it was easier on my nail beds. Still had problems lining up the image and I'm sure if I really practiced it I couldn't figure out exactly where to put it but who has time for that....I don't my manicure to take 9 hours.
After a while I couldn't stand how little this was...made it hard to handle..I'm on 37 and I don't need to speed up on the arthritis front.
Enter YouTube. I starting watching people on YT make amazing manicures with these really large, squishy stampers....I NEED one of those!
So I went online in search of the extra large stamper. Now some will claim to be extra large but this one takes the cake!! It comes in two pieces - a base and the silicone squishy pad. I like to refer to the bottom part of this stamp as a shot glass. I seriously thought perhaps the person that came up with this was drunk and looked down and said "hey this would make an excellent nail stamper...think of how large it would be!" This is one of the stampers I love. It's the Creative Shop stamper. I have seen several places caring it such as: Llarowe, Uber Chic Beauty, What's Up Nails, Color4Nails...I'm sure there are more than that. I love this stamper because I can stamp a large design and smush my finger into the stamper head instead of trying to roll the image onto my nail. It's super easy to use I love it so much! Anything that is going to make my life a little easier, I am all for it! Now some people will stay they have a harder time lining up this stamp. I could see that if you are trying to do something in a small area and you want it in an exact place but for that I would just\put some top coat on it, let it dry and then peel it off and place it on my nail like a decal. I am not interested in making things hard for me. I don't want to have to re paint nails because something didn't get placed in the right spot.
I just wanted to share what this looks like up close. LOOK at the surface area...*drools*. I absolutely love this thing. I love it so much that you will see I have two of them! I of course didn't stop there. I wanted to explore all of the stamping options.
I noticed all of these Instagram people using a stamper that looks similar to this one. It's squishy enough but my main problem with it is skinny. You really have to be lined up to use it, which may be helpful but I haven't had enough practice with this one.
The next two are the same size in diameter, however, the handles are different and it's the reason why I like one over the other. The one on the left I purchased from Fancy Gloss for $6.00. It is a double headed stamper. The one on the right I bought from Winstonia and I'm not sure how much it was off the top of my head. It is also a double headed stamper but the smaller end is super small. It would work great for small individual stamps like characters. Now...why do I have two? I bought the one of the right first....I have problems with the stampers that have the wide/fat handles. That's why I went with the one on the left. The slim handle is much easier for me to maneuver. I did have to prime these stampers (I just used a fine grit nail file and just ran it across the top until it wasn't shiny anymore). These work perfectly and even though it's not as large at the creative stamper it has enough space with some leeway. Perfect!

I recently bought some plates from Bundle Monster which included this plate, the BM-XL02. This was the first purchase I made from BM and I have to say I am really impressed! I placed my order and about two hours later realized I ordered two of the same plate. I frantically sent an email to their customer support regarding the issue and asked if I could switch a plate for a different plate. I didn't hear back from them however when the package arrived I was truly happy that the switch had been made. Super excited!
Now the polish I used for this was Funky Fingers Dark Knight, which is now my favorite black polish to use for stamping. It's super cheap (3 for $5 at Five Below) and it is nice and opaque. The white polish (Gesso) is a really great one coat white to use as a base coat. If it would behave it would be an amazing white stamping polish but it is super think will work if I thin it out.
Now, on to the stamping! Here's the plate:
I like to buy the plates that are meant for long nails (hence it being called an XL plate) because I feel I get better coverage with the stamp, Smaller plates I feel I have to line the image up and nine times out of ten I miss it by just a bit and have to redo the design. Pain in my rear. So we are looking at 12 different designs and have stamped them on a double sided stamper which I bought from Fancy Gloss but you can find them anywhere. There is just something about the white squishy stamping pad that makes the stamp jump out at you. I don't get the same feeling with the Creative Shop stamper which actually is best for me because it's HUGE! I feel that since the CS isn't opaque white like the stamper you will see I used for the samples, it just doesn't really stand out. You can find those here: Color4Nails or LLarowe (I'm sure there are other places out there).
I really love the way this shape came out. The polish really helped pick up on the small details in this pattern. Of course I have some mess from another design but that's not a big deal. Use some tape or even your finger to get rid of any unwanted stuff. I should be more careful with the amount of polish I am using while doing this next time.
This design is one of my favorites! It really is mesmerizing. It picked up easily and it's nice and big (that's what she said) so I can use any of the stamped area for my nail. I like having choices especially if I am not able to get the full image. If I missed the corner on the pick up there is plenty of extra wiggle room.
Definitely a good pattern for reverse stamping.
This snowflake/flowery pattern is a nice solid stamp, I would totally like to use this over a gradient. It was easy to pick up and I can see a few spots where it didn't quite get it but as I mentioned before this is a large stamp so I think it will be safe to use anyway.
Always nice to have a standard lattice-ish type pattern. This was also an easy pattern to pick up on the stamper. I love how this looks and I think I might try it with some reverse stamping in a alternating color pattern.
I was really excited to try this design out! It came out GREAT! Nice opaque black and no empty spots to be seen. Amazing! It was also an easy design to pick up.
This is the opposite to the lattice-ish design I talked about before. This was AWESOME! I love this ...I don't know I would like to use this one yet but the coverage is amazing!
Crazy circle chains....not my favorite but it would be pretty cool I guess for a reverse stamp. Anyway it did come out pretty clean and clear.
This intricate design was a little bit tricky to pick up. I had to re-stamp it several times. It didn't want to behave but I eventually got it. I would love to use this for reverse stamping or whatever else my imagination comes up with!
I can't tell if this actually picked up correctly just because this is some tiny crap to pick up. It plays tricks on my eyes so it's hard to see if it's right or not. However, the way it shows on my nail when I tried it out ...amazing. Funny how something so simple could be so awesome!
This is one of the designs I don't know if I like. I will have to try it out to see. I picked up okay ..no problems. I see a few areas that are missing some of the circle but I am sure it would have turned out better a second time.
Love love love this design.I can't wait to use this one. Picked up easily. Nice and smooth and the whole design was up without any issues.
This design, as you can tell, was a pain in the buttocks!! It did not want to behave what so ever. I had to re stamp it like 5 times and it still didn't pick every bit of it up.
I overall love this plate and am super happy now that it is in my collection!

It's been a while since I have posted a nails picture so I feel like I must show you the progress that they have made.
In September they were basically obliterated...yes that is the word I would like to use. Destroyed! Classroom furniture and nerves basically ripped them a new one. The nubs were weak and pitiful. I was sad because I wasn't going to be able to have some awesome welcome back to school mani.
Then...I got pregnant.
You should all take prenatal vitamins. I don't know what exactly is in there that makes your nails like mini Ginsu knives but wow! I enjoyed them! I know you can buy some hair and nail vitamins but I don't need my hair to grow!! sigh. Once the baby came I had to keep them trimmed because I didn't want to accidentally stab the babe. I did keep them a nice length,
What do I use to keep my nails strong and long? Well I have tried a number of things. You will have to figure out what works best for you.
Now I use:
Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream
~ sweet almond oil
~ cocoa seed butter
~ vitamin E
~ sunflower oil
~ fresh lemon scent
this is the bee's knees (LOL sorry I had to) I like this because I can purchase it just about anywhere (I don't have to ship it and if I run out and I just go to the local drug store or grocery store and buy more).
Orly Cuticle Oil
~ Argan oil
~ Jojoba oil
~ vitamin E
I picked this up at Sally's Beauty Supply. They were having some sort of sale where I got it for free if I bought a couple of polishes. I figured why not. I do think it works well however, I don't care for the way it smells. That's personal preference.
Nailtiques Formula 2
I use this for taking care of my peeling, soft nails. They have always been this way. It's not a good combo... because of them being so soft, it pulls the layers of the nail apart and peel. Then the nail that is left is super flimsy. I am not going to lie, it's expensive for how much you get and luckily they do make different sizes so if you want to try it out you don't have to get a large bottle.
Duri Rejuvacote
This is a nail growth system (one of many) that I have used and switch to every now and then. this product is Duri's Rejuvacote which I can buy at my local Walmart. This is a little less expensive than the larger Nailtiques bottle and OPI Nail Envy, but I don't count it out. A lot of people use this product and I will most definitely keep it in with my nail routine supplies.
OPI Nail Envy
I have a love/hate relationship with OPI. I love their colors however they don't love me in return. It doesn't make what I put on underneath their lacquers; basecoat, strong adhesive basecoat, peel resistant anything...cement...it's coming off within 12 hours. I do love Nail Envy though. I won this one from a giveaway on Instagram. I like the fact this particular one dries matte so you don't even know that there is anything on your nail!
Vaseline Healthy Hand & Nail Cream
I have a really hard time finding creams that I can stand having on my hands. Usually they are too greasy or they don't feel like they will ever be rubbed in. This is not too bad and look it's made specifically for your hands and nails! I try to put this on after I wash my hands. Keeps my hands from getting all dried out from all the soap and water.
Even though I have enough lotion to last until who knows when, I have a particular one I love more than the rest. If you want something that is non greasy and I mean as soon as you put it on it completely melts away into your skin, then you need to try LoLLIA! I am sad to say I have just about used up all of mine (it was a small petite tube). I have it in Calm. My aunt gave it to me for either my birthday or perhaps after having Miss C, yes, she still spoils me with little gifts and things. I loved it so much I just couldn't bring myself to using it all the time but the way it just immediately goes into my skin, amazing.
I did forget to show this to you:
This is my everyday cuticle oil by Beauty Secrets purchased at Sally's Beauty Supply. Unlike the Orly one, I love the way these one smells. It's not too much but a hint of coconut. I like the fact that it is offered in this huge bottle. I remember it being pretty inexpensive as well, like $4.

Of course the picture I am showing you in comparison have been stained with color and are very messy. However, they are nice and long again. They are almost to the point of having to say they are too long for me to type correctly and I accidentally stab people with them...not like random people while I am grocery shopping, but like my hubs and myself (yes, I have stabbed myself..don't judge me!). The hubs takes the good with the bad. Stabbing not good....a good automatic back scratcher...awesome. So what do I use to help my nails grow?? First, let me start many years ago (insert Wayne's World Dream Sequence noises)
I'm not here to try and sell products and no one is asking me to advertise their products. Just tell you what works best for me. My nails were always very and I mean VERY soft. They peeled a lot too. I just didn't think much about them. I had acrylic nails put on several times like for prom and homecoming dances but they never lasted long enough for me to get them filled...by the next day like three nails would have popped right off. Seriously I had to get my nails done the day of my wedding and by the end of the honeymoon they were completely off and left a nasty mess behind. Sure I painted them the best I could but I sure wasn't going to pay someone to paint them for me and not only that they would file them so far down they would be painting nubs and trying to talk me into getting a full set of acrylics. Needless to say, the nail to money ratio wouldn't have been a wise choice. Then...I got pregnant.

I am on the quest to find Masked Affair by L'Oreal and happened to walk by to see this beauty...Revlon's Holographic Pearls. Wow for drugstore polish! I am proud of them stepping up and actually noticing what up with people in the nail community. Here's an outside pic of this polish. Soooo shiny. I was trying to get a nice pic of all the sparkles but it wasn't working out. This was the best I could capture. 
In doors shot - not as bold as the sunlight shots but still just enough flare to dazzle myself into a stupor. 
I am wearing three coats with a top coat. My quest will continue for the other polish but I am so happy to have this one in my collection now.

I was at the grocery store...feeling a little blue. I was told I was going to need surgery and was basically freaking out. I thought why not swing by the nail polish...that will cheer me up!
Cute As A Button is pink and at times looks coral. This bright creamy color called to me from the shelf. Now, Essie polish never really stays on my nails but it just so happened to stay on for about four days. I was really satisfied with it!
Might be giving Essie more opportunities to impress me :)

My poor nails have been completely destroyed. After moving all of my classroom furniture around 
So I figured I would make this the starting photo to get them back into shape. Today I put on some cuticle oil and cream to help my poor cuticles. The nails themselves have been peeling a lot! I'm currently trying not to get into a bad habit like picking at them.
We will see if they will ever be like the were.

This was my flag mani for one of the challenges I am currently working on. It totally smeared when I put the top coat on. I don't know if it is "Out The Door" or it was me being quick to top it off. Oh well it was okay enough to keep it on for the Fourth of July. I have on Julie G White Orchid with Zoya Livingston stripes and the blue is Sally Hansen xtreme wear Royal Rage.

I had a party to go to so I thought I would try out a couple. 
I am wearing China Glaze Creative Fantasy (purple) and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep Insta Dri for the stamps.

Cute little owl.
I used an old gift card as a scraper. It makes it easier for some reason plus it isn't scratching my plate.

Here is a picture of my recent dotticure. Not the best but it did the job.
Someone on Instagram told me to try Julie G White Orchid for stamping. It is the closest I can find to stamping with actual stamping paint. I was missing some of the dots during transfer so I had to dot it up with a dotting tool. Should have done a better job measuring the size.

Well I am trying another nail art challenge. The first one is Fresh. When I think of fresh of simplistic solid colors and what better than a Tiffany blue color. When ever I think of this particular color, I instantly think elegance.
Materials Used:
China Glaze Strong Adhesive Base Coat
China Glaze For Audrey
NYC Extra Shiny Top Coat
Scotch Tape
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Hi Ho Silver
Sally Hansen Insta Dri Silver Sweep
Dotting Tools
Cotton Swabs
Cotton Balls
Acetone
My Paint Brush for clean up
Out The Door Top Coat

Out The Door Top Coat
I started my mani with a coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesive Base Coat. I don't let it really dry... by the time I get back to the other hand it's ready to be polished.
This color is by China Glaze...For Audrey. I used two coats and I went ahead and put a cheap top coat on. I think it was NYC Extra Shiny Top Coat. After about 2 to 3 minutes I went ahead and cleaned up around the nail.
I placed two pieces of scotch tape on my nail to make a V shape with Sally Hansen's Insta Dri Silver Sweep. I let one dry and started another and once I got it set up and painted I just peeled the tape gently so I didn't mess up anything.
I pulled out my other Sally Hansen silver color, because I wasn't sure at first which I wanted to use, and dotted the point of the V. It didn't turn out PERFECT but it was good enough for me! After a bit, I went back and used Out The Door top coat.

TADA! Next on the Nail Art Challenge for January is Sparkle. I guess I should start thinking about it.

Okay so I have a complaint to make and it might just be user error verses the product itself.
Essie hates me....plain and simple. I just can't get it to stay on my nails longer then 4 hours. It chips off right after it dries. Now I have asked my friends (who swear by Essie) what they do when they paint their nails. The only thing I can see is I don't use Essie brand top coat. I do use different top coats. I feel that sometimes Seche Viet pulls the polish off the tips (like it does with my Zoya polish, even when I paint the tips)I might use Out the Door or Orly. 
This mani is Toggle to the Top. A beautiful sparkly maroon/ garnet color. The application was fine. Smooth. I used two coats and then taped them up to add Gold Metal by Sinful Colors. Not what I was wanting to do at first, but it turned out okay. I feel I painted too far down with the gold but I was too lazy to do it over.

Had to share...it has Mickey on it!! 😍😘😍. I am not very good with the stamping thing but I couldn't resist! See how I visit a Disney park at least twice month.
I was waiting around for Pam to release her Holiday creations. I said to myself I wasn't going to look at them but that wasn't so easy. I loved all of them but since it is the season to buy for others I didn't end up getting too many for myself. I HAD to get this one. Purples, pinks and brown. Gorgeous!!
