Stamping kit

I've had this stamping kit for a few months now and I haven't had the time to figure out how to use it. My first few tries didn't look so great, so I put it aside and then I forgot about it.


I thought now would be the right time to get familiar with this technique. I've seen so many wonderful manicures using stamping plates and I would love to be able to do that. I've been practicing a bit already without much success. My biggest problem is picking up the design from the plate. Somehow it just won't stick to the stamper!

I wondered if I had the wrong stamping polish, but I used a regular polish by Gosh that is very opaque and it worked about as well. I've searched the internet for other people with the same trouble but it seems like everyone is a master at stamping :-p So if you have any advice for me, I'd love to hear it!
