I am not sure, are those the only brand of bail stamping plates you have? And what kind of polish do you use!

I would make sure you took the protective plastic off the plates, and if you have I would try priming the stamper by gently filing the gloss off the rubber ends be careful not to file too much. Then if none of these tricks works it may be your actual plates.

Hi Meghan. When you buy this kit, you only buy the plates. 25 plates. You will need three more items to do you nails: a stamper, a scraper and a special nail polish.In this item, you can see all you need: http://www.maquillajerossa.com/imagenes/2009/07/nail_stamp_art_set_g.jpgThis product of Bundle monster, include only the plates. And I can tell you that the designs are fantastic!!!!

It is NOT a glossy surface. A carefully applied stamp should work just fine.

Don't squeegee all of the polish off of the plate. Also, I used some YouTube videos. But it worked for me way better when I squeegeed lightly, pressed the stamper hard onto the plate to pick up the polish, and then pressed hard onto my nail. I used Sinful Colors myself. Worked well.

the great thing is all plates will work and in fact the best white and black are the ones from the Sinful brand which cost 1.99 their white and black are opaque and work great!!!!! I used the plates from another manufacturer aka MASH and they are cheaper and work fine! If you find it doesn't work go to my nail tutorial and youtube and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5tlnXZ2t3c

Yes it does work! Took me two days to figure it out, but I did. First, you have to file the shiny surface down a bit with a medium nail file, then rinse & dry gently. Then, use a much lighter touch than with a more firm stamper like Konad. Also, press straight down, perpendicular to the plate, rather than rolling like you would with a firmer stamper. Also, don't forget to clean by pressing into a piece of tape or a lint roller rather than using polish remover. (I've started doing this with all my stampers now, it works & its so much easier.) I was still having trouble at first, until I realized the polish remover I was using must have been leaving a residue that was interfering somehow. Now, after I clean the plate with polish remover, I wipe it with a damp cloth, and then a dry cloth and it picks up the image easily & beautifully every time. It does have a bit of a learning curve. I've read so many reviews where people have said that once they got the knack of it, it was the favorite stamper so I was determined to figure out it. The flexibility it has does make it much easier to get a design to transfer across a whole nail. I can't help but wonder if certain types of polish removers cause problems & others don't since some people never seem to face this issue but other people, like me until today, can't figure out why nothing will pick up other than after the plate hasn't been used in hours at minimum. I hope this solves the problem for you the way it did for me!

No, I didn't have the same success with picking up images from my plate with this stamper, but it does work, just not as predictably. The Pueen is very soft and on the average, gave me a sharp, clean image. Go to soguesswhat11 you tube and watch a few of her stamping videos, she's the best at illustrating this.

They are quite glossy, so you would most likely have smearing with stamp ink. Try a matte version.

I'm not positive, but there is plenty of gap to stamp just about any thickness. I just tested it with a standard size piece of a cardboard box and it worked. Those are pretty thick and unless you are using a Flinstone's stone tablet it would probably work for you.

Yes you can, but the polish must be quite thick and pigmented. So any brand of polish can work once it follows some rules of thumb I learned from bloggers: A regular nail polish that's good for stamping should 1. Go on opaque in one coat when you paint your nails with it 2. Be so thick you can't see the brush bristles when you first pull it out of the bottle. Hope this helps!

no, it doesn't include everything. You will only receive 25 metallic plates with the designs and that is it. You need to buy a Stamper and the Scraper. I had to buy another Stamper, since the one I had it wasn't big enough for those big images for the whole nail. I ended up buying the Konad Stamper which include the scraper as well for less than $6 This is the one I got --> (http://www.amazon.com/Konad-Nail-Art-Stamper-Scraper/dp/B000PQGYPY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1383937646&sr;=8-3&keywords;=konad+stamper)

I haven't but make sure you draw your image backwards. I have used Stamps tho and it works.

I recently ordered this item (July 2014) and have included a photo of the set I received in the photo gallery. I only had 26 original stamps. The other 24 were doubles or triples. :(

Hi Chris, Yes, I submitted a jpg of a tree that I wanted in the middle of the stamp and told them the words I wanted around it. It turned out great. After you pay for the stamp, you'll get an email from them and they will tell you what to do. You have to choose the size of the type I think and send a jpg or pdf of the image.

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 :)!!!

The one that I received only vibrated in place. There was absolutely zero stamping action. I think it's a toss up on whether or not you will receive on the actually works.

I don't have a stamper. I use a guide I made so I can line the label up with the disk. Once it sticks it really sticks!
