Anyone know if these are good to use for nail stamping?

The darker colors seem to work well for stamping. They do "bleed" some so be careful when you top coat so as not to smear the design.

I would say no. They don't last. I tried every top coat even under UV light. Pretty colors. They just wont hold up on nails for even a day.

Yes, they are perfect for that. The pad is very hard so the finger rolls on it nicely. You might have to stamp it twice since the first time around, you might have too much ink on. Test it first. Also, it does stain everything, but does come off the finger after couple/few/dozen of washes. :)

Yes, I would think you could use them on toe nails. I, however, have not tried that yet.

Yes, I did use these nails in this nail gun. However, I found another brand of nails at my local hardware store, for much cheaper.

They are fine to me, I have done a lot of nail designs with them. I hope this helps

No, You don't have to use the stamping polish, but it is easier for beginners to have something guaranteed to work right away. With other polishes, there is a lot of trial and error. I prefer thicker polishes (ya know like your old ones or cheapies from the drug store) They work pretty well.

Not necessarily. There are brands out there that sell stamping polishes (and some people swear by them) but many people have figured out other polishes that work. Basically for a nail polish to be a "stamping polish" it needs to be really opaque (meaning very densely colored). Any nail polish that claims to be one coat and done is a perfect fit for this. For example Sally Hansen Insta Dri Nail Polishes are very opaque and work great for stamping! So if you want a very crisp clean solid color image you'll need to use polishes that are opaque, that doesn't mean you can't use regular polishes. Just realize they won't produce a very crisp image (which may or may not be what you are going for in your design) Not necessarily.

No! They are not good at all! Once you put the brush in nail polish they get all hard! And can't make designs on your nails!

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

I have not. However, I don't think they would be good for that. The tips are ball point and the ink isn't very thick. But idk for sure.

They are small jewels that you put on your nail bed, most nail salons use these so I would say yes to your question. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but this question request did not go to my email that I check every day.

The metal is actually rather thin and soft. A ballpoint pen was not enough, in my experience, but a pointed tool was. I do think metal stamping might work well, but I didn't try it myself so I can't say for sure.

You can use them a few different ways: as a guide for designs to paint over, to add some color to your original design, or to cover your cuticles when painting your nails. Go watch some videos on YouTube with nail tape! Hope this helps! :)

I've heard that there are some polishes other than the specific stamping polishes that work but they need to be thicker and it's pretty much trial and error. I recommend the ones designed for this though.

Yes you may use any kind of nail polish, I recommend using a light nail color for a backround, because dark colors for a nail stamp design work best.

I haven't tried, but I doubt it, because it runs thin. You may want to use something like OPI quality for stamping, since they are thicker, and they are not opaque, very glossy.

I really don't know. I have just used them to create stripes and designs on my nails by painting over them then taking them off which they work great for! I'm happy with them.
