Nail stamping and polishes

redfragglebiker

Hi - I've recently got into the trend of nail stamping ut the specialist polishes for stamping seem to be very expensive. I wondered if people had any high street polishes they have found to be good for nail stamping as it might be useful to have a kind of running list of high street alternatives. The ones I have found to be good so far are:
Sinful Colours white (£1.99 from Boots)
Barry M Foil effects (both gold and silver worked well for me)
Barry M Gelly Nail polish in Blackberry

Also any other hints and tips about nails stamping are welcome

(For anyone wanting to try it for cheap Poundland had some stamping sets in wheich are very similar to the KONAD stamp sets which are generally pretty expensive. I've experimented with these and the results seem to be fine so far!)

Yes the Barry M foils are great for stamping, I use the gold and silver ones as well. I've also found a lot of the Nails Inc polishes stamp well.

To be honest most polishes work for stamping, you certainly don't need to buy Konad ones. Having said that though, I've not found a white polish that stamps as crisply as the Konad one. That's even opaque over black.

There's loads of info re stamping (and nail polish in general) over on the Nail Polish Addicts Anonymous forum. We started off on this board but now we've got our own forum. Come and join us, you'd be very welcome...

Konad's own website just now have stamping sets reduced, seems to be quite good offers - little kits with the stamp, plates and polishes.
