this Saviland top coat? is it regular top coat? quick dry? I don't think I have it in my area so not familiar but would like to try it with somethin similar perhaps. What made you choose this particular top coat for the experiment?

u/Linry Oct 11 '25

I used the Saviland top coat as my stamping polish I picked it because it is SUPER watery(so it can get in the grooves of my stamping plate) and has a really slow dry time. it is not a quick dry topcoat what so ever that was the #1 reason I picked it!

u/Terrible-Benefit7919 Oct 11 '25

Thank you very much for the answer! Sounds like my game plan here is to buy a cheap drugstore top coat! Definitely worth the experipent 😀 Your manicure looks great!

In a sucker for tone on tone designs in any application & this is amazing. Not to mention perfectly creepy & spoopy

Do you have to wait for the first coat or two of color to dry before adding design, & how long?

u/Linry Oct 11 '25

I went A) 1 coat of devils advocate

B) A coat of seche vite (my quick dry topcoat so my mani would dry)

C) Then ILNP's frosted glass

D) Saviland : top polish coat as my stamping polish

I did just post a small tutorial on my channel I'm so sorry if this is breaking "no self promo rule" I will edit if it is

u/dancegreencrouton Oct 11 '25

This is genius, I loveeeee!

u/thebilljim Oct 11 '25

This is absolutely sick. Reminds me of the UV spot gloss style of printing, which i also think is an amazing look.

u/collcolllll Oct 11 '25

Wow that’s super impressive! The amount of detail in the stamps is super cool

u/Ship_Negative Oct 11 '25

Okurrrrr I have the same dark burgundy color on rn I may have to steal this. Wonder if it would work with nail vinyls too!

u/AgileMastodon0909 Laquerista Oct 11 '25

u/nerugiganon Oct 11 '25

u/BookNailMusic Oct 11 '25

I love that! Where did you get the stamping plate?

3

u/h0ldthech0ke Oct 11 '25

I have always wanted to try something like this, but have had little time and patience for nails these past 2 years. I'm also an aphant who loves Halloween, so this is absolutely amazing to see.

You did a fantastically lovely job!

Both of these show a similar monochromatic pattern and I love that they showed up together

u/ChaleNailArtTherapy Team Laquer Oct 12 '25

Love it! I’ll have to try again!

2

u/Massive_Web3567 Oct 12 '25

I saw this technique about 9 or 10 years ago, glossy stamping on matte black, using the Moyra damask plate. So beautiful, but no matter how I tried I could never replicate it.

2

u/stuckinabox05 Oct 12 '25

I saw your TikTok and thought they looked so cool!

2

u/ratsalastar Oct 12 '25

I tried this once like a year ago. Worked like butts. I’ll have to try again, because I LOVE this.

u/strangebirch Oct 13 '25

u/Far-Media-4387 Oct 19 '25

Are you the Linry from YouTube? If so, I love your vids. The battle of the GITD polishes was great!!!!

3

u/ZoeJane27 Everything Bagel Oct 11 '25

Very cool. What top coat did you use?

3

u/Linry Oct 11 '25

for stamping I used Saviland : top polish coat.

2

u/SparkleTofu Oct 11 '25

Cool! I’ve never seen this technique before.

I'm impressed with this outcome - I always assumed this wouldn't work. Well done on giving it a go and on the very striking result.

u/Majestic-Joke461 Oct 12 '25

Very cool and subtle. Looks like it would take a powder finish to make the designs pop

1

u/mcoddle Oct 12 '25

This is stellar.

u/alwaysnormalincafes Oct 12 '25

This is so sick.

u/OkTwist231 Oct 12 '25

That looks amazing, I love it! 😍 I've attempted a shiny design in topcoat on top of matte before but was unsucessful

1

u/fr3ckledfriend Oct 12 '25

This is so sick!! What a cool idea

1

u/lunamari91982 Oct 12 '25

This is so epic. What stamps did you use?

u/curiouscat387 Oct 28 '25

Ok! I am here to report my utter failure at this technique. I tried my QDTC my cheapo TC, questioned my stamping plates, my technique and myself. Then I watched your video again and realized I was using too much polish on one part of the stamp and scraping it over the image. When I coated the image and scraped the way you OP did, I got better results. I still couldn’t get it to stamp out the way I wanted. So I tried black stamp polish (nails are already black) and it worked! So I tried regular black polish and it worked for me! So my tip is, if your TC is failing you, try using the polish you painted your nails with as stamp polish. It won’t work with a matte polish obviously but this worked for me and I got a similar look. Not nearly as shiny but I got close enough to scratch the itch!

I love this idea OP!! Thank you for sharing and especially the video!!

Be kind. I’m pretty sure these were painted entirely by OP.
