I just did this! There’s a way to not get it on your skin! You don’t have to put your nail right in the middle of the polish puddle. I did it at an extreme angle and the very edge of the polish puddle, so no gel on my skin or underneath the nail 🎉 I might make a short showing how because describing it through text sounds confusing haha
Yep - you could. It would help. But it’s literally up under my nail and super hard to get liquid latex under there and even harder to get the latex out from under there.
I saw this with marbled polish and my mind was blown! I can only imagine the amazing color tips that can be done with acrylic paints and the upcoming holidays!
I love using this method. I wear longer nails than you show in this video so getting anything on my skin is a non-issue. I think the angle the nail is placed into the polish makes a huge difference. I absolutely LOVE this technique.
Thank you for filming this and trying the different options and I’m glad to see it didn’t damage the stamper . I have quite a few stampers so I’m going to have to give this a try. I’m envisioning all different color combinations ❤️
I love using good ol acrylic paint for most of my nail art too! Unlike gel, it’s water based and won’t harm your skin. I can create ombré effects so much easier with acrylic than when I try working with gel. I just love acrylic paint. I’m so glad you used it for this TikTok trend! 😁👍🤩
You are brilliant! As an artist, I have acrylics in so many colors. I’m definitely trying this today. Gonna marble the edges. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️
I love wearing French but couldn't do it on myself...till now! This worked! I followed along with you and voila! I did my own beautiful French! Thanks a million Marla!
WOW!! That acrylic paint! I tried this on a swatch stick last week with gel. Was not a fan. I will be doing this on my next mani! Oh wait! I was going to do your marble with the chrome veins you did the other day!! NAIL DILEMMAS!! Thanks for another real life “does it work?” video. 🥰
Thank you Marla for trying this and letting us know which trick is best to use! I'm gonna try to maybe only paint the top of my stamper so it doesn't get under my nails, along with liquid latex for the sidewalls🤞☺️
I had the same results, I am so glad you posted this video, I thought it was just me that had bad results. The results were better with longer nails, but it was still all over the underneath of the nail free edge.
Wow! 🤩 Okay Marla, now you have me convinced that I need to give this a whirl! Totally gorgeous 😍 I can’t wait to do this with all sorts of colors! This is just amazing! 🤩
I was like what....its Saturday but yay....bonus video!!! I have seen this everywhere, def gonna try it but never thought about Acrylic paint. Thanks luv u r the bomb. They look so awesome! 😍love them!
I love this idea! I’ve seen the stamper technique everywhere lately, but not using acrylic paint. I agree that cleaning up with acetone is not good for your skin and nails. This is brilliant!💕 I have seen that your nail can puncture the stamper though, so you might want to have a stamper dedicated to French nails.
I use this technique and only get a tiny bit of polish on my skin. Your pushing in too hard and you need to start pushing your nail in on the stamper at the spot where the polish starts, it works great
I was so afraid you were going to pop your stamper! 🙈 I love how this turned out!! 😍 It’s absolutely perfect!! 🙌🏻 I’m gonna have to try this. Tysmfs! 😃
Me, too. I was holding my breath and screaming in my head, "nooooo!!! 😱 Not the Clear Jelly!!!! It was like when you're watching a horror movie and yelling at the girl that the killer is right behind them, and then sighing in relief when the stamper survives with no punctures. *aaaaahhh sigh****. 😂
You're awesome! I work 40 hours and HATE it if I have to make a special trip to the salon, even though I LOVE my nail tech. Acrylic paint is my jam now!! I'm such a clumsy self nail care person. You made my day!!
Happy Saturday Marla. That French looks amazing. Thank you for the bonus Saturday video & hanging out with us weirdo’s.. have a safe blessed weekend girly ❤️🥰
Oml you are the only one i know who talked about gel allergy. Weird thing, i had developed it last year. Just last week i decided to do a skin patch to see if i still have it and nothing happened. After i used it on my nails as well and I’m surprisingly okay (touch wood). But absolutely love the idea of acrylic paint
I am so glad you did this video! I saw this hack on tiktok. I forgot the name of the bottle, I tried silicone bottle top, no not it. Then I retyped French nail hack and there you were! Thanks for doing this demo.
I have been so hesitant about French dip manis. SCARED is more like it. I have seen some of the best get frustrated and give up. I am going to try this hack. It will be my first french....wishe me luck and thank you for taking this challenge on. Your are the best!🧡🧡🧡
Thank you for showing this!! I have been seeing it all week and wondered if it worked as good as it looked .Trying it out today and using acrylic paint for sure you gave me that tip awhile ago and I definitely find it much easier to use when doing any nail art.
I love this video so much. I could never stamp it right, and it was always such a chore to take all the nail polish off before trying to stamp the tips again - and failing 😂 I recently bought some acrylic paints to do nail stickers and now I know I can use it to do french nails too!! So thank you for this awesome vid 💕💅
Thank you, I just bought a stamper because I wanted to do French tip but didn’t have the special nail polish. I do have acrylic though so I’m excited to try.
Holy cow this is awesome!!! Thank you for doing a tutorial on this method & explaining how to with different types of nail products (dip, gel, gel topcoat, dip topcoat). 😁
Yessssss! I have been waiting for you to do this video! I totally want to try this with some really pretty metallic teal paint that I have. This may be my next mani 🤗
Another issue to consider is that acrylic paint is not meant to touch skin and can cause chemical burns etc. especially if left on long enough to sit and dry. So, like anything, if you are prone to skin reactions acrylic paint isn't the way to go either. Just use liquid latex around the edges or if you're allergic use a thin layer of white school glue then peel off when dry.
I tried this technique today using the same paint you used. I used CND vinylux top coat. I can't wait to see how durable the products are together. Either way, the technique is brilliantly easy. Clean up is a breeze... soap and water.. easy peasy.
I have the stuff that you can put all around your on your fingernail that is latex based that you can pull off when your done. It would work great for this!!!
I don't know if someone has already commented this, but in the original video she has her nail parallel to the stamper at first, and slides it forward into the polish before pushing her nail down into it
Awesome! I'll be definitely trying this soon! I think I'm gonna experiment using a ton of peel base on my skin around the nail to see if clean off can be even easier ☺️
Amazing! I was actually trying to figure this out last night and wake up to all the answers! Thank you so much! Off to buy acrylic paint and a jelly stamper!❤️❤️❤️
WOW! I finally want to use my stamper now! Couple of questions (you know me!).. 1. If I’m dipping first, should I active before I do this dip? 2. Is this little acrylic paint available at a store like Michael’s? 3. I don’t need to activate this do it? Oh wait! How about this… can you list the order of what product to use? Thanks Marla!
I got you.. 1- yep. You’ll wanna dip, activate, file, buff. Then start the French! 2- yep!! I get mine at Walmart - it’s under $1.00 3- if you wanna use dip top, I would do the French. Apply base. Let that dry. Activate. Then dip top.
@@MarlaKris Thanks! BTW. This pedi I had took her a total of 22min. And I had to have her come back and clean up the sloppy line of paint on my cuticle! Thankfully I’m using a gift certificate and I’ll never return here. That’s too bas because it’s FIVE minutes from my driveway to their door: and it’s a very pretty salon too. This will not be a 20% tip.
I was so excited to try this. I have tried every other French method with no luck. My first hand was beautiful. I used gel polish and gel top coat. When working on my second hand, hand number one just peeled right off. I could remove all the white with my finger nail. So bummed out. Any suggestions with why I might have had an incompatibility with the gel products and the acrylic paint? I didn't think anything could get away from a gel topcoat since God knows we spend enough time trying to soak and grind the stuff off. Wonder if regular nail enamel would work better but it always chips so easily. Your thoughts are appreciated.
Wow, this is so beautiful and satisfying!! thank you for testing this method for us (: Also, can you please share how did you clean the stamper after the polish? Because I know some products might damage it..
I love this look! I always get the French dip powder done but going to try this. Are your nails naturally long or do you use any sort of tips? I love the shape and length of yours in this video. My nails are much shorter so I’m wondering if I could apply tips first? Any certain ones you recommend. Thank you!
Those are my natural nails with just a thin layer of gel over for protection. You could def apply tips first! I just tried this on my daughters nubbies tho and it worked! In black! So stinkin cute
@@MarlaKris I was just about to ask if this worked on shorter nails. I’m glad to see it does! It would be great to see this technique on shorter nails in a video!!
I just did this! There’s a way to not get it on your skin! You don’t have to put your nail right in the middle of the polish puddle. I did it at an extreme angle and the very edge of the polish puddle, so no gel on my skin or underneath the nail 🎉

I just bought one thank you for the tip Antonia !
Please do! Thanks I'll keep en eye if u do upload
Please do
Please make the short! Thank you :)
That’s what I said. Start at the very edge of the color.
Just a thought but you could put liquid latex around your nail so all you have to do is pull it off. But they look beautiful
Yep - you could. It would help. But it’s literally up under my nail and super hard to get liquid latex under there and even harder to get the latex out from under there.
Marla HATESSSSSS liquid latex 🤣🤣
@@thevictoriagoogin and that 😂🤣😂
Same allergy issues with latex potentially though. For instance, I have latex allergies so that wouldn't work for someone like me
My thought exactly
I saw this with marbled polish and my mind was blown! I can only imagine the amazing color tips that can be done with acrylic paints and the upcoming holidays!
I love using this method. I wear longer nails than you show in this video so getting anything on my skin is a non-issue. I think the angle the nail is placed into the polish makes a huge difference. I absolutely LOVE this technique.
I was going to say the same thing. My nails are longer and I tried it and it's an awesome technique isn't it? :)
@@sophierichard9087 Yes. I LOVE it.

Came to RUclips for a tutorial to do this technique and the acrylic paint is a huuge revelation to me!! Thanks for the advice. I’m now off to try!
It works! I got the stamper with no instructions and now I love the acrylic paint option! Thank you!!!

Happy Saturday Marla. That French looks amazing. Thank you for the bonus Saturday video & hanging out with us weirdo’s.. have a safe blessed weekend girly ❤️🥰
There’s a learning curve for sure. But I did this to my press on nails this morning because they aren’t lifting yet and totally changed the look.
this is such a random video I got recommended and it did not dissappint - just ordered a stamper lol
Omg 💀💀💀 I can’t believe how easy and how friggin GOOD this looks!!!! Must try! Love it 😍😍😍
This is absolutely amazing! I will be trying this technique for my next mani for sure!!! 🤩
As a new gel allergy sufferer, thank you for trying different options.
I react to almost all acrylates! Omgosh, thank you for this!

Holy cow this is awesome!!! Thank you for doing a tutorial on this method & explaining how to with different types of nail products (dip, gel, gel topcoat, dip topcoat). 😁
I use the peel-off latex around the tips of my fingers, to keep it off my skin. Same with regular nail stamping.
Wow this is a game changer! I’m like wow do I neeed a nail stamper now just for this purpose 😱
Ah!! I never thought to use white acrylic paint!! Good idea!!
Marla made my nails look on fleek everyday thank you 💅🏼 -Evie

Very good when it can do with acrylic paint. I support to try it but now I see your video. Tks for sharing
SHOOK isn't the word are you kidding me jelly stamper here i come)
Thank you Marla
I just ordered the stamper it will take awhile to get you did a really good job I can’t wait to try seems super easy will let you know how it goes
LOL of course I watch this video after making a mess of my nails already 😅. Will definitely try acrylic paint next time!
Thank you so much for this video. Will do my french this way.
Going to have to get some acrylic paints now!! Thank you so much for this as no one did a video with the paints😍
Love it!! Do you have a recommendation for a good french pink gel color to use?
For dip powders, I love the revel “scarlet” or iGel beauty “‘medium pink” but any sheer light pink will work!
Love how this turned out!!! How did you clean up your stamper afterwards?
I let the paint completely dry and used tape! Easy!
@@MarlaKris Thank you, I wouldn't have thought of that!!!
@@MarlaKris what did you clean the gel polish off the stamper with? Alcohol?
@@SuperAndersonal if you need to wash it, use soap and water!
I don't know if someone has already commented this, but in the original video she has her nail parallel to the stamper at first, and slides it forward into the polish before pushing her nail down into it
So happy you’re doing this! I saw it on TT too. Ready to watch it now (as I sit in a salon getting pedi!).
Ooh.. pamper day! Good for you, girly! 💙
@@MarlaKris Today is my 44th Wedding Anniversary! I deserve a reward! Hahah!
Ahh so very nice! Guess those of us do not have a rubber stamper, will be getting one. I have never tried acrylic paint!
Great! Acrylic paint. Thanks. Probably not so messy with longer nails like the Tiktok vid. Thx for the test. Definitely going to do this?
Awesome! I'll be definitely trying this soon! I think I'm gonna experiment using a ton of peel base on my skin around the nail to see if clean off can be even easier ☺️
This is AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to give it a try!! Thanks for the tip!!! Made my day!
I’m telling you!! You’re welcome, darlin! 💙
I LOVE this mani so much!!! It's perfect!!😍❤❤❤
I am surprised the acrylic did not smear when you applied the gel top coat. Thanks for the demo!
As long as it’s completely dried down, it’s just fine to top coat OR apply base and encapsulate in clear.
Really enjoyed watching this! Gonna try this 😍 Did you top coat with a gel or lacquer?
I used gel top but you could use whatever top you love!
Acrylic paint works great on nails. It's cheap, easy to clean up and you just need a top coat to seal it.
Love it 🥰 Thank you for uploading this video and giving a try !!! I will definitely try it!
Damn you Marla.... Always inspiring me with something new to try!! ♥ ♥ Awesome tutorial! Trying it for sure!
Brilliant! Thanks for hacking the hack! Off to get some white acrylic paint!
OMG mind blown 🤯!!! I can’t wait to try this!!
Did a test run of this method after watching your video and it works so well!!
This looks so easy. If you use dip liquids, at what point do you activate before applying the top coat?
Amazing! I was actually trying to figure this out last night and wake up to all the answers! Thank you so much! Off to buy acrylic paint and a jelly stamper!❤️❤️❤️

👍🤩😍OMG this is fantastic. Thank you. 💝
Nice job with the Acrylic paint! But the easier way is to get a stamping plate with French tips and stamp it on - MoYou has lots of different ones 😉
These look really good. Definitely going to try this x
Wow! I am dying to see someone do this on short nails, I have to know if it works!
I did it on my daughters nubs. Works!!
OMG thats so cool!!!!!! I am definitely giving this a try!!!! Thank you so much!!!! xoxo Gabrielle
Yes it's a great way to get you're smile line, but you never caped the free edge so it would chip pretty quick.
Is it not bad for the stamper to press your nails into it like that?
I didn’t find it harmed the stamper.. but I supposed it would depend on your nail shape and how much pressure you apply
2:16 its because you have short nails, i think its for longer nails
Wow they look so beautiful 🤩
Wow, this is so beautiful and satisfying!! thank you for testing this method for us (:
Also, can you please share how did you clean the stamper after the polish? Because I know some products might damage it..
Yes! Soap and water. Zero damage!
