Anyone use the Salon Express Nail Stamping Kit?

Probably a long shot, but does anyone have any user advice for this nail stamper? My 5 yr old daughter saw it on TV and wanted it for her sleepover this weekend. I got it and have been trying it out every night. I read a review online, watched YouTube videos and still can't get more than one nail stamped.

As per the reviews I filed the rubber stamper - then realized maybe I filed it too much and tried to buff it out. How do you do more than one stamp? Do you clean the stamper off between each nail with nailpolish remover? Please give me any tips that would make this less nightmarish to do on three 5 yr olds!

And yes, you have to clean the stamper between each nail.

I don't have that kit, but I do stamp.  You have to clean the stamper and the plate between each nail for the best results.  Also make sure you are using a very opaque polish to stamp. Press the stamp down harder on the plate to pick up the polish, and use a light rolling motion across the nail to transfer the pattern.  HTH's

Thank you. I did read that review before I decided to purchase it. From that website I knew to buy the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes to use with it.

So far after hours of playing with it I have only managed one slightly smudged seahorse

Ah! I have been using a hard press rolling motion when I put it on the nail. I will try to go lighter.
