Goblin Hobbies Stamping Kit First Attempt

I recently purchased the Goblin Hobbies Stampin' Kit after seeing the ads and how-to videos online. Brent from Goobertown Hobbies made it look super easy and I thought this could be the answer to painting clean Lamenters shoulder pads and eliminating the need for decals on other models.

When the kit arrived, I gleefully started stamping some paper napkins in my kitchen. My early stamps weren't that great, but it was on paper and I was recklessly splogging nail polish everywhere so I wasn't worried about neatness or finesse or my success.

After watching a few more tutorials and some nail art tutorials, I made some earnest attempts to make some new battleshock counters for my Blood Angels.

This is how it went. 

As you can see, I didn't get the same awesome results as the showcase videos. I fiddled sounds for about an hour until the acetone fumes got to me, and despite my best efforts, I wasn't getting clean prints, even on these flat wooden counters. 

Obviously, I struggled to get a clean, solid circle, all of the lightning bolt, and I constantly picked up bits of the nearby icons. 

I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. Maybe too much paint, not a clean swipe, working too fast, working too slow...?

I need more practice before I make a final judgement. However, I did like the matte finish on the nail polish.
