I figured why not? It's blue, it has a chrome like shine and it looked to be thick enough. I tested it out and although it worked with the other chromes, I decides it was so pretty it deserved to be stamped on its own!
Now... My continuing annoyance with my Red Angel plates... This particular image on plate RA-107 is ingraved too deeply, an issue I have been having with my set. The result? Not too perfect stamping and smudging :( I guess I will have to try this image out again with one of my regular stamping polishes and see if I get the same issues.
One thing I thought about after was leaving the polish in the engraving a little longer after scraping to adhere better to the stamp when you pick it up. Again, I'll have to try another time. Below you can better see how each nail has a different result.
My fave nail is the pinky :) I thin k the stamp was the cleanest on that nail and the pointer is my second fave, I find the best way to stamp is to have a soft touch. Am I the only one having issues with these plates :(
Great stamping substitute...I never think to use regular polishes for stamping.
ReplyDeleteYou should try out some of your ticker, pigmented colours and see if it works :) I hardly ever use my Konad special polishes anymore!
DeleteI have that problem with my RA plates as well, almost all of the full nail designs are engraved too deeply. The few times I have used them, I've found that waiting several seconds between scraping and picking up the polish on the stamper seems to help. Still kind of aggravating though, and their customer service wasn't too helpful. :/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, I will be a little more patient when using those plates. Usually the faster you work the better your results!
DeleteThat sucks that their customer service is not helpful, I have had problems with Bungle Monster before and they were resolved right away, such great customer service, they are great :)
Great combo here - not sure I would have thought of doing these together.
