First time stamping

So I ordered some MASH stamping plates on Amazon. They were cheap, and I've wanted to try stamping. I don't have any pictures of the actual plates though. They have a nice paper backing (I've heard Konad are like this) and no sharp edges (I've also heard that other stamping plates have this).
They are etched fairly well.

I do have a major complaint though, the full size image plates are tiny! I have small hands/nail beds and they didn't cover my nails. They were cheap and had plenty of smaller images that work well. I guess I'll just buy some Konad plates for their full images.

 After my base coat, I used 2 coats of Rimmel London Sunset Orange. Then I used Mash plate M01 and Sinful Colors Black on Black and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White to stamp.

I'm still practicing my stamping and really need to work on it. I've got the basic idea of it down, but I need to work on speed and placement.

  2. Thanks! I still need to practice more, but I really like it so far since it's waaaay faster than freehanding.
