    How do you use the plates? They look so interesting but I'd have no clue what to do with them!

    Thanks, so I'd need to buy plates, a stamper, scraper and special polish? Might have to go on the christmas list then!

    talking of acrylics ... can anyone recommend good paints to buy etc ?

    does any acrylic paint work? or do i need to buy nail acrylic paint? how about brushes? any good quality ones anyone would recommend?
  • Hooray!! 2 weeks of nailtiques completed. I'm still growing out the previous damage to my nails, but there's no new damage there. I've put two coats on tonight and am now wearing colour over the top for the first time in 2 weeks! I've gone for gold (No 7 I'm exquisite), because I'm starting to think I might actually be onto a winner with this stuff!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Just had a thought? Wonder if anyone's used acrilyic paint with the stamps? At least it probably wouldn't dry so quick.

    Might give it a whirl when I'm back from Barcelona

    Ok so I have tried and tried and tried stamping and can't get it to work. I've watched countless youtube vids and followed the instructions exactly and still nothing.

    Im guessing that the plates I bought (cheapy ebay one) just aren't deep enough to get a decent stamp.

    So with that in mind has anyone got/tried one of these:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zicac-Printing-Stamper-Printer-Machine/dp/B008GYHIPW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1342385621&sr=8-3

    If so are they any good? Do they work?

    Looks interesting but I can't see how it works and there's no reviews yet. I would be interested in anyone's views if they've tried?
