Do these work well for stamping? Are they opaque and pigmented enough to stamp over black?

I haven't tried, but I doubt it, because it runs thin. You may want to use something like OPI quality for stamping, since they are thicker, and they are not opaque, very glossy.

I think that they don't work for rubber stamps. They have a regular size, not like a sharpie, and there are washable, you need brush like a sharpie for that kind of work

Yes you can, but the polish must be quite thick and pigmented. So any brand of polish can work once it follows some rules of thumb I learned from bloggers: A regular nail polish that's good for stamping should 1. Go on opaque in one coat when you paint your nails with it 2. Be so thick you can't see the brush bristles when you first pull it out of the bottle. Hope this helps!

I beileve the stamp pad came preloaded with black but I am not 100% sure. Sorry I couldn't be of better help!

Yes these inks are opaque! I've printed on black shirts with this ink before. Just be aware that if you really want the colors to pop, you may have to lay on the ink a little thicker than you might with light colored fabric.

They are quite glossy, so you would most likely have smearing with stamp ink. Try a matte version.

Yes they are good on all non porous materials including porous if sealed first note a base primer will make the clear colors pop!

yes, but I would recommend Sakura pigment ink pen. these are more charcoal than black.

Any opaque polish that is highly pigmented should work. If you have thicker older polish it can be great for stamping. Also metallic or chrome colored polishes work great! Hope this helps!

Yes! There are plenty of beautiful star and moon designs. When I try to use the stamps it seems my nail polish dries too quickly and too thin to copy over. I've read that mixing Elmer's glue in the nail polish helps but I haven't tried it tho. I've also heard that there's a special nail polish for stamps too. Hope this helps.

They are very soft and flexible. I have no problem stamping my nails. I think it is a luck of the draw. I was fortunate not to receive a stamper that was hard rubber or dried out if I had to explain it.

Yes they have a very ultra fine point. I use them to do detail work on stamped handmade cards. They are like using a fine point pen.

I use with any polish, some are too transparent and don't work good, but usually i use a light collor with a dark for the stamp, or a dark color for a white stamp, it shows up really good

I used them to make a "fairy box" for my niece to put stones in from Twig (the fairy at the Renaissance Festival). I painted a wood box a royal blue color (so not super dark but dark enough, it was leftover paint from a bedroom). The Orange, Green, and Pink showed up wonderfully on it, the purple is the only color that is hard to see. So, in answer to your question, and from my experience, yes the light color inks showed up on the darker surface. The darker did not as well. If I could attach a picture I would :)

They aren't self-inking, so they can be any color you want! :) You will need an ink pad to use the stamps.

As I have pretty strong natural nails I have not ventured into the gel polishes. That being said I have stamped with everything from dollar store polish to mac polishes and they all stamp .. Some are just better than others even within each brand. The thicker and more pigmented the polish the better the stamp. If gels are thick and pigmented then I believe they would do well too.

To date, I have only used them on metal clay before it was kiln fired, and the stamps were very clear. (just had to use a light touch!)
