I’ve been having such a difficult time picking up stamp images. Will you tell me which stamper you used and is the that uberchic scraper? I end up picking up Kathleen & Co. and Ethereal Lacquer. Happy to see your swatches since I probably considered all of the ones you end up purchasing.
@@natashawho5508 I used the Uberchic XL Clear Stamper with Clear Short Holder and the Uberchic scraper (love this scraper). Maybe something you can try is to make sure your silicone stamper head is clean and free of oil as any deposited oils will prevent it from picking up images. If you gently tap the stamper head with your finger you can tell if it is sticky or not. If it is not sticky then it probably needs to be cleaned with oil free dish soap like dawn. Also I have dry clean hands free of oils when I am stamping so that it does not get on the stamper head. I think the technical trick is to make sure you are gently touching the stamping plate with the stamper. I do a quick and gentle roll. The method is to place the edge of the stamper on the plate and then gently roll it across the image. It took me so many tries to get that right and I gave up for a year until I tried sticky stamping polish. I was able to pick up an image my first try. It was like training wheels. Then one day I brought out my non sticky stamping polish and I was able to get it onto the stamper. Yay! Then the next problem I encountered was getting on my nail. You have to work quickly here too. So I added a coat of orly bonder and waited a minute and I was able to get the image onto my nail! It was such a process but I felt like a world of art opened up to me and then I started buying all the plates! I hope these are helpful. Check out Linry’s video here on RU-vid if you haven’t already. She does a great job going through the techniques. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JNLDtdskuwY.htmlsi=08o0QPo6OTiXxp_C
@@patriciamadigan5366 I got museum putty which is double sides sticky dots. You can get these on Amazon. Glue dots would work too but they are thinner. They really stick and sometimes stay on the nail. It helps to stick them to your palm to remove some of the stickiness first. tinyurl.com/Museum-putty tinyurl.com/stickygluedots Thanks for watching!
