I would have loved to see stamping plate MXM096, especially the design example that was written on the card insert.
Love those foils.
So the soft gel tips are thinner…are they also more flexible? Because I feel like the glue on tips don't contour to the curve on my nails very well. The pressure of the curve on the hard nail tip pulling at my nail bed, has actually super messed up my nails. It's taking months for the nails to grow out so the damage doesn't show anymore. ๐ If the ones you are going to have are flexible, I will definitely LOVE that.
I've been using glue on nail tips from Red Aspen, because I like that they already have a base color to them. And if I mess up the stamping, I can take it off with nail polish remover and I won't have to start all over. ๐
Cool idea!! I love this. Thanks for tagging me! These foils are fab.
Thanks so much for showing how to use foils! I've always been so intimidated by it. Now I'm super excited to give it a try!
I do love that grey! The green is also gorgeous but that is the perfect shade. When I think of grey.. that's exactly the shade that comes to mind ๐๐ค๐ค๐๐
Yes! I been looking for letters like that.ty
Hi! Are the additional plates coming out today? ๐ค
I miss you guys and the community live. I'm in California and it is DST my work schedule conflicts with your live time
So excited! I can't wait to get my box
Can you use the foils over a freshly stamped image? Will it stick?
I learn so much from you ladies! This was a great video! ๐คฉ
I love maniology products and have been using them for years. They are my go to brand for nail stamping products. So I say this with much love. I adore the smudge free top coat for stamping and nail art. But with foils, it gets a thumbs down.
I have been using foils now for a few years ( regular nails, not fake ones ). I have found that each time ( regardless of name brand ) maniology's smudge free top coat will dull or fade any of the metallic, glitter, or holographic foils. Even if I let it dry over night, the cloudiness doesn't fully go away. The foils are always dulled or faded. As if I had added a matte top coat over top. Maniology's smudge free will work in a pinch, but I have stopped using it with metallic, glitter, and holographic foils. Other foils like marble, flowered, or just non shimmery foils work fine with the smudge free.
About a year ago I saw several youtube videos by creators who were having the same issue. They suggested to start using UNT "ready for take off" peel off base coat over the foils. It works amazing. I have used foils as a base and stamped with it ( using a sticky stamping polish or a foil stamping polish ). The Unt does not fade, crack, or dull the metallic or holographic foils like the maniology smudge free one does.
I have tested it a few dozen times with 8 of the most popular foil brands. Many times I will even do one hand with unt and one with maniology smudge free just to compare the results. The maniology one is still pretty, but much more matte, faded, and dull compared to the UNT hand.
Plus the benefit of using the UNT allows you to add a top coat of your choice, over top of the manicure. That seals everything in and allows the manicure to last longer. If I add any top coat over maniology's smudge free top coat, the foils tend to crack and break apart. It fades even worse and sometimes dissolves completely.
There are some really wonderful videos on youtube from many talented creators. They have done comparisons with several smudge free and water based top coats with foils. For the price and performance, I always go back to UNT. ( sorry, but just being honest here. I use my smudge free for everything else though!! )
Keep in mind these are using regular polishes. Gel nail polish, gel foil glue, and gel top coat will not fade or dull or crack apart foils.
So excited to play with these foils! Thanks for sharing these great techniques.
I learned in my color theory class in college that chartreuse is actually the most visible color in low-light situations, which is why we often see it used on construction sites and road signs.
Lol so 096 โ misprinted to say โOLOGYโ at the bottom? Noticed it on Zenstampingโs unboxing video so came here to see if it was a fluke ๐๐
Iโm so excited for the foils! I canโt wait to play around with them! I have some more fun ideas for my birthday nails now! Iโm super excited for the nail tips too! I did have a question about those though. Since they are a soft gel, does that mean you have to use a gel to apply them or would a nail glue work as well?
Smudge free top coat is water based. You need a top coat to seal it all in or the smudge free will start to peel up.
When do the boxes ship?
Iโm glad I watched this unboxing. I was on the fence about this box, now Iโm 90% sure Iโm going to get it. The foils are beautiful Ava some of the plate designs are giving me 80s vibes, which as an 80s kid I love.
I am so excited to try foil! I am so glad you gave us some ideas on how to do! I would not have any clue. Lol.
I wasn't sure, but I will get this subscription. I think the foils will be fun.
I was going to pass on this month's box, but you ladies are giving me the FOMO! I do have a question about the foils; if you just use the smudge-free top coat, will the mani not last as long. Is the smudge-free topcoat waterproof? I always use a quick dry top coat over it.
The drama in the live chat tho๐๐๐
MY HEART IS RACING FOR THAT FOIL KIT ๐๐๐
The tip that is black, green and gray screens Halloween. These colors are going to be perfect for Halloween. I'm excited for the foil.
Yay. Tried watching earlier but my video just kept in a loop. Glad I was able to get this now.
I am having issues with my stamper not picking up..what am I doing wrong?
Beautiful!! Love this box. Thank you.
I'm late. When it was live, I had a problem with YouTube. I couldn't watch the live stream.
I've always wanted to play with foils but I've never understood them
I got a bit of foil from one site I bought one of my earliest stamping plates from (don't remember from where though), it's a very light holographic one but I've never had foil glue and I didn't have the smudge free yet (which I do by now ๐) I never understood which side of it was supposed to go on the nail, so it's still feeling lonely in it's corner in my "nail salong"…which is my kitchen table ๐
buddy, howdy?!amazing !want more followers?.
Can you use the foil with gel polish?
