Stampable polishes

I've had folks ask me which polishes work well for nail art stamping or Konading. In response, I thought it would be helpful to start & keep a list of these polishes.  This is in NO WAY considered a complete list.  As I hunt out and discover new stampalicious pretties, I will be sure to add them here, especially when new collections come out. AND Of course, I encourage and welcome additions from readers, too! You can either email them to me or just leave them in the comments below and I'll be sure to add them to the list!

Just a few key things to look for when you're searching for a stampable polish:

OPACITY--if it is completely opaque in one coat, it is probably going to serve well as a stamping polish.
FINISH--creams and foils tend to stamp better than other finishes. Glitter finishes can be problematic due to their texture and jellies can be too sheer. Neons are usually too brittle and thin to stamp well.

**Either I or one of my readers has personally successfully used the following polishes for stamping**
