Stampers arrived, just a few quick questions

[lotus blossom]

if I'm stamping over shellac do I remove inhibition later then stamp then top coat?
Also can I stamp over top coat then apply another coat
And also one more thing if I'm applying glitter to shellac do I remove sticky layer?

Thaaaaaanks

Some people do stamp straight over the colour but I prefer to top coat, wipe inhibition layer, stamp and then top coat again. This way if there are any mistakes with your stamping you can remove it easily without affecting the colour [emoji5]️

When applying glitter you don't remove the sticky layer because otherwise the glitter won't have anything to stick to!
Hope this helps xxx

I prefer to stamp over the top colour coat of shellac as it saves time and product , gives a less bulky nail esp if also over acrylics and saves soak off time at the next appt. just my personal preference.

Have fun! What stampers did you get? X

I top coat, wipe and then stamp, easy to remove if it's not quite right,then top coat with a normal polish top coat so client can remove if they want.

Fee Wallace did a stamping live feed using Creative play, she had some nice tips and tricks in there that you might find helpful

It depends what I'm doing as to weather I wipe or leave tacky layer

My very best stamper is a cheapy from eBay [emoji5]️

Can you post a link? I have 2 stampers so far, +1 on the way
+1 I got my eye on to get from Fab Ur nails, but you never have enough do you?

What polish do you use with the stamps? Do you apply a top coat over the stamp and then cure? If so does that cause the stamping polish to dry? Or does the client need to wait for it to dry . Hope this makes sense xx

If you are looking for more tips and tricks Fee Wallace had some interesting pointers in a video on stamping with Creative Play, it's on her website.

I've tried various methods and always topcoat after stamping. With a lot of polishes you need to make sure that you are quick else the polish will dry and your image may not be picked up properly, have a look for the video I mentioned above even if you aren't going to be stamping with Creative Play

Creative play looks great! I use CND shellac so would they be best to use alongside.
Thanks, will watch the video. Xxx

I'm torn between the Fun Jumbo and the Fun Jumbo Glaze. I can't decide.

NonaPhillipa YouTube channel has reviews on both of them.

I ended up getting the glaze one by accident, I was wanting to get the jumbo, but it was a 2 am purchase and added the wrong one to my basket. I got the caramel glaze and then the an extra head in mint. I want to say the glaze was like the updated new version of the jumbo

Have you tried the sticky nail artisan one?

Nope, I'm trying to convince myself I don't need any more stampers... Is it any good?
