Yes! Thank you for being open about the possibilities of painting the designs freehand. As you may know I don't think I'm very good at freehand but I applaud those that try if they don't have Konad.
Thank you! I was searching high and low for Chanel stickers but the nail plate will be reusable forever. The Born Pretty Store also sells some rhinestone Chanel appliques as well as stickers too (and for cheap prices) :D
In general I like full nail designs that cover the entire nail. My very first one was the Konad m57 plate with leopard, zebra print, fishnet, flowers and some lace. I still really love that one and I think that one is very versatile. Other than that I think its up to you which plates will be more usable for you :D
Wow, the way you paint your nails is flawless! My nail polish gets EVERYWHERE when I paint my nails LOL. I always just wait to shower for it to wash off.
I love these kinds of tutorials! in which you follow a concept, but all the nails are different *-* I fell in love with your Tiffany Blue and Silver tutorial
Omg I love your nails! I always try to grow mine but my orchestra teacher always gets mad at me ;( but right now they're really long because I'm on spring break :D I love this nail tutorial! ❤
love your vids! seriously. just got into stamping because you inspired me. used to only do simple freehand stuff with dot tools n toothpicks, but stampings so fun and easy, only had to practice for a bit before i got the hang of it. not exactly a fan of the music style tho, but its all good.
LOVE THIS!! i'd been wanting to do a chanel look for a while. i'd seen the logo somewhere and didn't know how to find it? perfect. i don't have the tools as of yet, but will def. keep this in mind for the future!! ty
looks great!..im going to order the konad stuff after seein this.. i have a question though..can normal polish be used with the plates or does it need to be konad?..im very new at this.. thanks!
I have a question. Which brand and type of brush do you use for cleaning up around the edges? I've been trying to find a brush but all the ones I've tried are very hard based and do not clean at all. But watching house videos, your brush looks great.
Hey! You are the best. :D I love Your nails and hence I have a question. How do You take care of the skin around the nails so it's healthy and pretty? Cheers!
really nice, i have a question does ur polish tend to chip easily if you apply ur base coat?? The reason I ask, is becuz this happens to me all the time and it's super annoying lol maybe I am not using the right base coat (i tend to use just a sally hansen clear polish and use the same one for my top coat)
You are right, you can't please everyone so don't try. Just do what you want to do :). I ordered the stamp with the chanel-sign on so hopefully I will get it. :)
Hi Sunnie! Sorry about that.. Now that you notified me I saw that the store I originally linked doesn't sell that one anymore. But I've updated the link in the description box to a QA1 plate on Ebay for free shipping under $5. Hopefully that one works better for you :D
ty..i actually had heard about the born pretty site recently and did see the stickers. i tnk i may try some of them too..but i do think i want to invest in a stamper as well..i heard the konad one was much better than some other versions?
I can't wait to use this for my coco chanel/.Audrey Hepburn look next week! thanks so much! I can't wait to tell everyone who I got it from, been saving this video for months now :) How come you used these products? (cheap, favorite brand, etc)
I'd wait for the design to dry thoroughly...until you can touch it easily with your finger. Then try using a topcoat like Seche Vite.. fast drying and it glides over the design easily. Or, perhaps you're putting on too much pressure when painting on the topcoat? Good luck :D
Elleandish I loooooove you!❤ I can't stop watching you! You're amazing, your nails are so long and pretty too! I've watched all you're videos, the first one I watched was you're valentine's nail tutorial and ever since then I've looooooved you! Even the music you put on your videos! And one question, whys your name Elleandish?:) PLEASE ANSWER AND I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVAR!
Hi Janelle. I wanted your experienced opinion on the Konad plates vs the cheaper alternatives. I noticed that you use a variety of plates, regardless if they are Konad. Is there a significant difference in quality of the image?
Lara Hi Lara! In my experience, in all of the varying brands of stamping plates I've tried, I haven't seen a significant difference in image quality. The only issue I've had in the past is having plates with a full nail image that didn't cover my entire nail (Bundle Monster 2010 set). Otherwise, I don't think I've met a nail plate that didn't work for me. My main concerns are: finding images I like, and if it's a full nail design hopefully it will cover my nail bed. Best of luck to you in ur stamping :)
Everything that I've read about the shrinkage issue is that its due to the polish actually drying before applying seche. Apparently it adheres to the polish better when its still slightly tacky.
Most likely it will be because you were not quick enough to apply the stamp.. the solvents in the nail polish dry up quickly especially because the konad plates create such a *thin* layer of polish. Just practice doing it quickly :) Good luck!!
can you please upload a video on how you file and shape your nails? i just LOVE the shape of your nails, but im not sure how i should do it :) PLEASE UPLOAD! :D
Each nail is so different, yet it all ties in together so holistically. Amazing.
I LOVE your nail designs when every nail is different. Keep it up love!
I love watching ur nail polish videos I love doing my nails and wen I don't no wat to do I always watch them
This was The Best nail tutorial I've seen thus far. Nicely done.
Thank you so much! This was one of my older videos :) Hopefully you'll like the newer ones too. Thanks for watching
Yes! Thank you for being open about the possibilities of painting the designs freehand. As you may know I don't think I'm very good at freehand but I applaud those that try if they don't have Konad.
I absouloutly love the shiny black polish you have!
i love ur videos... i already have tired a couple and i get alot of compliments...thanks to you... one of my fave people to watch on youtube!!!!
Thank you! I was searching high and low for Chanel stickers but the nail plate will be reusable forever. The Born Pretty Store also sells some rhinestone Chanel appliques as well as stickers too (and for cheap prices) :D
Thank you for the updated link! I love all of your tutorials and always feel inspired after watching them :)
I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard from multiple commenters that they tried both and the Konad was much better.
In general I like full nail designs that cover the entire nail. My very first one was the Konad m57 plate with leopard, zebra print, fishnet, flowers and some lace. I still really love that one and I think that one is very versatile. Other than that I think its up to you which plates will be more usable for you :D
I LOVE your videos!! I can't do nail art for my life and I love that you stamp!! You have a subscriber!!
I actually really like how you sound. Very simple and professional. :)
The black on ur nails looks awesome
This design is soo pretty!!!
Wow, the way you paint your nails is flawless! My nail polish gets EVERYWHERE when I paint my nails LOL. I always just wait to shower for it to wash off.
The silver stripe one looks awesome. It would look great with all white nails and the design on the ringfinger. btw sorry for my bad English
This is utterly gorgeous.
This is great,you are so good at nail tutorials💅
omg that black is beautiful- i have to apply two coats of my black to get it opaque
One word BEAUTIFUL,love it ❤❤❤
I'm Chinese :) But my parents were born and raised in Manila! I haven't been back in years but I love the country & the food obviously :D

I woke up early to finish homework, but instead I logged onto RUclips. Then, I found your channel and can't stop watching! lol.

you can use regular polishes.. but the opacity of the stamp will vary
love your vids! seriously. just got into stamping because you inspired me. used to only do simple freehand stuff with dot tools n toothpicks, but stampings so fun and easy, only had to practice for a bit before i got the hang of it.
not exactly a fan of the music style tho, but its all good.

absolutely stunning
This tutorial is AMAZING!
I do! Sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't. I'm not sure if its because the SV is drying out or if its the formula of the polish underneath. :T
All ur nails are so trendy!!!! You are so good!!! Luv ur vids
this tutorial seems easy!
just have to buy the konad stamping LOL
Yeah the Sally Hansen one is just one that I had on hand at the time... It doesn't dry matte like whiteout however.
I wholeheartedly agree. When I started painting my nails...trust me it was pretty bad :D
@purplelovergleek sure ill work on it for you.. Maybe a nail care video?

NYC Cosmetics has it... "NYC Matte Me Crazy" should be found at drugstores that carry NYC Cosmetics (ex: Target)
Beautiful! I love this design, because you can actually draw those stamping designs, if you dont have konad :)
Beautiful!! Can you do a tutorial on HOW TOU PREP YOUR NAILS? Your nails are beautiful! :)

Thank you so much once again for telling me :) I notified a few other nail art channels to let them know their videos were re-uploaded as well :[

+Susy G they don't sell it there unfortunately... I buy all of my stamping materials online

I love this tutorial, very striking. I've subscribed to your channel
