Can someone help me with a problem I'm having. I'm new to konading and just got the Konad special polish in white and black yesterday. I have only two plates so far and last night tried the M57 using the lacy scalloped design. Well the stamper would not pick up any polish but a few pieces here and there. I wiped both the stamper and plate off and tried again and same results. I pushed really hard on the stamper the 3rd time and still nothing but pieces of white on the stamper

. So then I tried it on the flower design on the plate and it picked up all the design and stamped fine. Why would it not pick up the other design?? Am I doing something wrong?

TIA

try not to stamp too hard, a quick light stamp should be enough, or rolling across design. Also when you wipe do not use a remover that has any oils, pure acetone is best.....any oils on the plate will stop it picking up.
It could also be a dud plate. Some people have had issues with one design not picking up due to it not being etched as deep.......

 

[babyd2000uk]

you also need to be fairly quick, the finer the design the quicker it dries......

just trying to think of all the reasons to help you

thank you, you're very sweet

Keep trying, Im sure its something like not being quick enough or stamping too hard. But if you keep on being able to do other designs and that is the only one giving you problems it may be the plate at fault.......fingers crossed it all works out for you

Sigh, I might give in and buy the konad stamping tools thanks to this thread. I love the spring one... so attracted to green recently. Also badkitty with the grey...love love the metallic on matte.

Gonna order my Konad stamper later this week! Cannot wait!!!! I've been wanting it since I first saw it months ago.

I got this nail polish because of its name, you know, I just had to have it. But I actually love this color, the picture cannot show all the glitters as they appear IRL. I think it will be very cute color for the spring and summer.

I ordered a faux-nad image plate from ebay from China (it seems like most of them are on there). The one with hello kitty on it and got it the other day. I'm disappointed because it seems the images aren't etched in deep enough for it to hold the nail polish once you scrape off the excess, no matter how lightly you try. I'm sending it back for a refund.

Sigh, and the search continues.

Good news though, I just ordered some of the new image plates from wowsocool.com and they still have the 30% off with the code wowsocool30. Surprising since this code has been out for months. I excited for them.
