Besides the stamping polishes specifically made for stamping, many other polishes can be used as good alternatives. I wanted to give us a place to put them so that if someone is either new to stamping or is looking for a specific color we can share what works for us.
I picked up a new polish today that I am really excited about. I use mostly Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes for my stamping and for decals and other nail art. I know many people have a love/hate relationship to them. I love them. I currently own 54 of them. Today I purchased Go For Gold which is a core shade I believe. It was recently added and I can not say enough great things about it. I didn't own a single gold Insta-Dri polish. I have two coppery shades that are not the same as the normal Insta-Dri formula and didn't work well for stamping at all. Go For Gold is a true one coat polish. It's fantastic. Next time I go to Walmart I am going to get a back up. It's worth the $4.00!
Sorry for the terrible pictures. It's so dark in my office at night but trust me you need this one! I will do some more swatches and testing tomorrow along with my list of my favorite polishes to stamp with.
I adjusted the pics so you could see the detail quality not necessarily the color. This stamp is on a test nail over 1 coat of Maybelline Styled Out denim finish polish. It's incredible. I tried stamping 4 other polishes on a similar shade from the denim line last week and failed miserably. This is stamped with Mash plate 69.
