5pcs : Biutee 5pcs Nail Stamping Plates + 1 Stamper + 1 Scraper Lace Flower Animal Pattern Nail Art Stamp Stamping Template Image Plate Nail Art Stamper Scraper Nails Tool

I've never used anything like this before, so when I became curious about nail art and wanted to consider stamping, this set was such a reasonable price that I couldn't pass it up. When it came to using it for the first time, I'll admit it didn't work and I was ready to come on here and say what a waste of money it was. However, I persevered, watched several online tutorials for similar products and read a few blogs. Today, I've mastered it and can safely say this product is brilliant! Yes, it takes practice and no, it doesn't go right on every attempt. I can safely say that the people claiming it doesn't work gave up far too easily.These are a few tips which have helped me (Obviously depending on what you are using it may work differently, I'm just saying what works best for me.):1. Experiment with different nail polishes. Not all will be a suitable consistency or pigmented enough for stamping. I went into B&M and purchased a set of 4 from Happy Jackson for £3.99 and some W7 ones for under £2 each and they work really well, so don't think you need to spend ridiculous amounts on specific stamping polishes.2. Depending on the size of the design you want to stamp, will depend on how much nail polish you put on. Trial and error here but with the polishes mentioned in point one, I only need to cover 1/4 to a 1/3 and then scrape it over.3. The instructions say to use the scraper at a 45 degree angle and scrape quickly and strongly. NO! I found a much more acute angle, holding the scraper much closer to the plate and scraping slowly and gently works much better.4. The instructions say to pick the design up using a rolling motion and apply it with a rolling motion. NO! A firm direct stamp down to pick up the design and another on the nail has worked virtually flawlessly for me.5. Clean the plate and scraper well with nail polish remover and (preferably) a lint free material. However, I use cotton pads and it works well. You must clean the plate thoroughly so no nail varnish residue remains.6. Clean the stamped using a lint roller. I have one from Ikea that has removable sticky sheets on a roll. I press the stamper on the sheet and it pulls off any remaining unused design and cleans it perfectly.7. Most importantly, DON'T GIVE UP! Yes, you will fail. Yes, you will make a mess. But this product does work and is totally worth it!The photos aren't great but they give an idea. The streaking on the blue and green nail was my own fault for putting the top coat on too soon! The red patterns are stamped onto the lint roll I mentioned :)

As promised I am updating this review now I have some specific stamping polishes. For reference as to polish that doesn't work I have left my previous review below.I bought this stamping polish Ularma Nail Art Template Stamp Stamping Painting Varnish Polish Manicure Design (B) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01E6W1ESO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YjvmBbDKKKD53 and it now works perfectly!My first attempt with the new polish is below and I love it!! Make sure you paint, scrape and stamp as quickly as you can otherwise it dries up and won't work!I used this with gel polish and it works great - I did base coat, colour, no wipe top coat then stamping and then another layer of top coat!Original review below:I love the patterns on this set but I can't get it to work at all!I've tried the following polishes and they just don't pick up at all:- Barry M standard- Barry M metallic- No 7- OPI- W7On the recommendation of some others in questions and reviews, I've ordered some proper stamping polishes in the hope that they then pick up onto the stamper - they are due to arrive in a couple of weeks and I will update the review then - have to say I'm a little disappointed that none of the other polishes worked after reading a lot of things online that the Barry M in particular was very good for stamping.

Absolutely love this stamping set. At first I thought it was crap.... another one of those whim purchases that you chuck to the back of your beauty drawer. However after reading reviews and seeing the end results possible I decided to watch some YouTube tutorial videos. As soon as I watched a few I was of a “well if they can do it” attitude.First of all you need to peel off the blue covering. Choose a design and then note: YOU CAN USE ANY NAIL POLISH. However I’d already invested in MOYOu stamping polishes in black, white and silver. (I recommend these too).Select a design and then dab about a third of you chosen design with polish. Then using the scraper or an old points card ( I used an old boots card).Then holding your chosen scraper at a 45 degree angle drag the polish across the design. Have your silicon stamp to hand, roll the stamper pad quickly from side to side. Voila! You picked up the design. I found it easier to hold the stamp upside down (silicon side up) and roll my finger nail across it from left to right or vice versa. This will leave the stamped design on your finger nail. Allow to dry, or 30 seconds under led lamp. Apply top coat and any gems etc.Don’t give up.....be patient. It’s a great investment and I can’t wait to try other colours and designs. ❤️❤️❤️

Positives:+ easy to use, the images are etched deep enough and transfer well+ nice selection of images+ the clear stamper that comes with the kit is perfectly good, although I have a bigger one now that I preferNegatives:- hard to clean, I like to use cotton wool soaked in pure acetone, but the etchings are a bit rough and so the cotton wool gets all caught up in it- I think there are better options out there, eg Moyou have nice designs and are good quality, and Born Pretty or Nicole Diary have nice designs, better quality and are just as good value.This was my first set of plates and they do a decent job, but if I was buying again now I would just choose a couple of plates by Born Pretty instead.

So easy to do, paint your nail, then put a few strokes of a different colour on the silicone stamper, dip your nail top into it however deep you want the tipping done, remove any excess from back of the nail, set under lamp, clean off the left over paint from the silicone with a bit of sellotape and put a different colour on the stamper and re dip but slight shallower. I tried the stamper with the pattern, wasn’t massively impressed with it, I felt it wasn’t leaving a sharp pattern more of a smudged print, no matter how soft or careful I did it. I see you can get actual polishes for printing so perhaps they are a thicker consistency to standard gel polish
