I want to water marble my nails but I want a cheap nail polish brand that works.
Please don't mention China Glaze or OPI they are too expensive for my pocket money.
Don't mention Sally Hansen either.



Answer
try NYC, LA color, Pure ice, Wet n wild, Sinful colors, ELf,
or just go to your local Sally beauty suppl store, Target, Walgreens, CVS , Walmart
and check out what they have as far as different brands of cheap polish

What do you use when stamping with Bundle Monster?

Hi There! I currently decided I wanted to buy some new bundle monster image plates for nail art. If you don't know what bundle monster is then well it's like Konad. I was wondering if there was a specific brand of Nail Polish you need to use for the image polish. If you could list some brands that would be helpful or even some websites that carry the answer!


Answer
I have a lot of OPI cream colors that work really well. The general rule is - if the polish covers your nail in one coat, it will be good for stamping. That just means that the polish is well-pigmented and will act most like the special polishes. Opaques and glitters do not get the job done.
You really do need to experiment with what polishes you have to determine if they work.

Search older yahoo answers for a really long list of stampable polishes.


The most readily available polishes that work for stamping are Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. Their polishes are marketed to cover in just one coat, and most of them do, so they are good for stamping.

Milani nail art in electric pink

Revlon Dark pleasures

Klean color nail lacquer (all of them except the glitter ones, the neons stamp perfectly!) (example: Neon green and Beach Blue)

NYC Nail Glossies
NYC Matte for abstract stamping

WetNwild (thick but only stamped 50% of the time for me..) Rectangular bottles, the Round bottles did not stamp at all

Sally Hansen Xtreme wear (some work some dont, the sheer watery ones dont work, but Gunmetal and Emerald city did work)

Sinful colors (pretty much all of them stamped except the glitter and super sheer ones)

Wild N Crazy (every one i stamped worked)

Midie (every one i tried worked except the glitter ones)

Jordana Polish (all of them except the glitter stamped)

Nicka K (NK) they come out pale compared to how they look in the bottle but stamp beautifully

WetNWild Crystallic Brilliance in Plum Crystal (dont own any others but this one worked)

ELF Nail Polish (some coral color, the only one i own but it worked)

Splash Nail Polish in French Chocolate (only one i own, stamped perfectly!)

Jordana Art Deco (some of them dont work, the ones i own with glitter did not..but the black and white do, will try other colors eventually
