NOTD Lilacism

I want to do more nail stamping but I've been seriously failing at it :/ I have over 30 Image Plates and I want to use more designs! I don't know if it's me, the plates or the polish but the last couple times I've attempted to stamp my nails the image never transfers perfectly. And this manicure is definitely not perfect but whatever! The purple is Essie Lilacism stamped with Konad Special Polish in White with image plate SE21 (from the Express Nail Kit). When I try to use different colors for stamping (other than my black and white Konad polishes made especially for stamping) they are never opaque enough (even if they are opaque in one coat)...they look too sheer once transfered and I don't like it. And then when I use my Konad polishes which are very opaque, I try to work as fast as possible and over half the time the image just doesn't tranfer well enough. Gahhh sorry for ranting I just want to have cool design on my nails! Maybe I should practice free handing more nail art haha. Well I hope you still like this even though it's not perfect! Got any tips for stamping? Let me know :)
