8 Colors UV Nail Stamping Gel Polish Set - Red Black White Purple Blue Silver Soak Off Printed Polish for Nail Stamp Plate & Stamper | DIY Nail Art Design Kit for Salon, Home Manicure & Professional Nail Artists

This gel is packed full of pigment so you need a VERY thin coat to get this to cure! I personally found each thin layer needs 60 seconds in a lamp to cure and still try to topcoat before wiping the nails down!For hand painting this product worked fine once I realized how thin it needs to be, and it mixes beautifully so you can get that perfect shade for your design like the green in my pic!For nail stamping even as a beginner I found some pros and cons!Pros* It wont dry until you cure it, so clean up is simple and easy with just rubbing alchohol. This also lets you mix up a custom color without fear of it drying halfway through the manicure!* It applies well without leaving the sticky layer on the base of the nail, so if you mess up just wipe it off and try again* It is highly pigmented, warnings about gel polish not working with nail stamping does not apply to this product!*It is just a little sticky once cured, so I was able to dab on a little mica powder over white to get that gold effect!Cons* Gel is just not good for reverse stamping, it cures very rigid so attemps to make decals off the nail or on the stamp itself will not easily form to the nail shape and when too thin crumble apart.* Because it needs to be thin to cure, attempts at reverse stamping without curing the outline struggled to fully cure in the lamp. This could be user error but the layered colors without any curing could not transfer cleanly at all!Final thoughts:This is great at what its good at! I think it would be perfect for nail plates built with layers because you can easily cure between coats and wipe off a misplaced stamp. This also makes it very beginner friendly because stamping requires some practice!If your goal is reverse stamping, where colors are layered before going on the nail, you should get regular stamping polish instead!
