Is this stamper soft and squishy enough to press your long nails into it? Also does it pick images well after priming? (I am researching for a soft squishy variety where you can sink your nails into the image and not a soft firm variety). Thank you for...

You can press your nail into it, but it's no marshmallow. MM has marshmallows on sale now. This one is just like the MoYou XL. I would say is a medium, it's not super soft, and it's defiantly not firm. Lol it's hard to explain.

Ive never used these for stamping but if I describe them to you, maybe it will help with your decision a bit.The colors are vibrant, theyre highly metallic, and they arent super runny or transparent but they also arent incredibly tacky in texture like how older nail polish gets. And if you do regular polish, you still would do 2 coats to get the optimal color. Same as most polish.(I like to do a white base coat with them as well.)

I would think you could stamp. It would work with a polish that is really opaque (like a one-coater). I don't think the Gelish itself would stamp , because of transferring the image, but if you do your nails with your Gelish, then stamp with a "regular" polish, it should work.

The one that I received only vibrated, with no stamping action. The stamping action is very obvious, as I watched some videos of the same pen online to make sure I wasn't crazy. I'm pretty sure this one is counterfeit, but wouldn't have minded if it worked. I sent it back.

I had no luck with it. I have read several other post that say to file the stamper and use a thick polish. I haven't tried it yet though.

Is the handle turning? If so is the item your embossing thick enough? Sometimes I've added thick paper under my plate to raise it do I can emboss paper. If it's metal your embossing is it too thick? The vintaj thickness works great, and should feel a slight pressure while turning the handle. Hope this helps. Stick with it the machine does work great :)

I bought this kit years ago when it first came out, it was the beginning of my nail journey :)!!! I did end up buying a different brand stamper and I use the konad stamping polish in white and black, but most thick polishes will work! I still have the plates and use them often and have gotten into many other brands and now have a large collection of them! I paid $10 for my kit and was happy with that, at $2.40, you can't go wrong! Search on youtube for stamping videos and learn how to prime your stamper head (that is key to a good pick up) and happy stamping, it's a very simple and fun way to make your nails look professionally done :) I bought this kit years ago when it first came out, it was the beginning of my nail journey :)!!!

Hi Linda:) If what you're looking for is to simply file your nails, this will do just fine. It comes with several different files so you can switch and choose. The set doesn't come with acrylic nails or anything like that,just so you know. It's not that expensive so maybe if you're willing to spend more money you can get a file that's a bit more fancy. I liked this one, though, easy to use:)

I use this paper to stamp and color with Copic markers. I've used rubber and clear stamps and the results have been very nice. I've also printed on this paper (Epson WF-3540 printer) without any problems. It's a heavy weight paper. I refer to it as cardstock. The Copic markers don't bleed.

After I am finished with my nails, top coat and all, I put the stamps on and then a second top coat. One of the girls at my daughters salon puts the stamps on before the top coat but my daughter has never been able to.

Yes I have tried this polish with stamping and it is a thick polish and is nice for stamping some designs depending on the color you choose, some of the polishes are thicker then others:) I hope this helps!

The two types of packs are for making two different things. Image packs are for making "rubber" stamps. Embossing packs are for making embossing plates to use with your die cutting machine (if you have a Cuttlebug or similar die cutting machine). You only need both types of packs if you want to make both things. The main film most people use is inkjet film. (It has to be Teresa Collins Stampmaker inkjet film. Other brands of inkjet films are not the same thing, so they won't work.) The reverse film is totally optional. Normally, you just print your negative directly from the computer onto the inkjet film, and that's all you need to make stamps. When you print your negative, you have to reverse all your blacks and whites in the image. If for some reason you can't reverse the blacks and whites, then that is when you could choose to use the reverse film. I've never used it myself, but I just read about it. I believe reverse film is used after printing a POSITIVE (not a negative) with the regular inkjet film - you place the positive over the reverse film and expose it to light. The reverse film will darken in all the areas that receive light, thus creating a negative from your positive film. You can also use reverse film with die cut paper shapes or dried flowers, etc. to make a negative - no computer required. Anyway, hope that helps. I've only been using my TC Stampmaker since last spring, but it's awesome. You really can make store-quality stamps with it. It took me two tries to get the hang of it though - I wasted a couple of imagepacs. Have fun!

I don't find the stamper heads to be very flexible. They are rounded, so I roll the stamper over my nail to transfer the polish. Hope this helps.

I love it!!! I bought it for pet photography. Nails have never been a problem but my nieces high heel did rip it a little.

Well Cindy, that is something I haven't ever tried....give me a minute to run it through my Big Shot and I will let you know. How's that? DRUM ROLL....for dramatic effect!!! I used an embossing folder by Darice mainly for the style of design and it worked beautifully. I ran one piece through several times and it looks OK while having a slight curve in it like most paper or card stock. Then I ran a second piece through once then back to the starting position because it is easier to remove the folder from that position and it looks great too, without quite as much curve. The flower design is embossed in the plastic very well with no tearing or milky look around the edges, that I was concerned about. I chose this folder because the design has several sizes of daisy like flowers, some swirls formed from dots and also a couple tiny hearts. Besides the curve I can see no difference in the results. None of the designs in the folder caused a puncture in the plastic especially the dotted swirls. I believe you would be very happy with the Cuttlebug results too. So go for it...and by the way, thanks for asking, I love passing along information that I have learned so others can increase their knowledge and fun in their creativity. Don't forget you can stamp on this with a permanent ink too and color it. Have fun!

My OPTP soft pink roller is holding up well and soft enough to press fingers into but still keeps its shape. I roll up to the injury, not on the injury. I suppose you could return this item if it is not what you need, or give it to someone else who may like it. I like the OPTP soft pink roller which is also sized well to roll the back of the head and neck.

Yes, I use it to stamp the back of cks and my envelopes, however I have to be sure the surface is level and push down evenly, otherwise the complete address doesn't always print.
