Stamping nail art

Manicure is an art that draws attention to well-groomed women’s hands. You can rarely see a modern fashionable woman without ornate patterns decorating her nails. Stamping nail art begins to gain popularity, both at home and at professional salons.

Stamping tools

Stamping is the process of transferring a pattern using special stamps.

To create a beautiful pattern, you need a plate with a pattern for every taste, stamp, scraper, paint or polish for stamping and, of course, a cuticle protection agent, nail polish remover and cotton discs.

Stamps may have a rubberized or silicone working surface. In the first case, the working surface will have a different degree of rigidity and will require more pressing. In the case of a silicone stamp, the color of the pattern will be more intense. You need to apply it gently, because if you press too much, the applied pattern may shift.

All the stamps need care. The remaining paint must be removed with a nail polish remover or an adhesive tape.

Scrapers are the tools for removing excess lacquer from the plate. They differ from each other in design, size, as well as the presence or absence of a cutting edge.

For stamping, it is recommended to choose a specialized polish for optimal drying time and intense color, although you can always choose the standard polish by your preference.

A special cuticle protection agent has been developed for stamping. You should apply it to the surface around the nail plate. Once you complete the whole process, you may remove the protection from the finger, like a film, with one easy movement.

Process of creation

First of all, you need to prepare the hands and cover them with the base polish, which is suitable for stamping. Apply the cuticle protection. Treat the disc having the chosen pattern with the nail polish remover based on acetone and cover with the stamping polish, removing the excess with a scraper. Quickly transfer the pattern first to the stamp, and then to the nail, the stamp pressing ratio depends on the chosen material of the stamp. You will need a little patience to wait until the pattern becomes completely dry. The top fixer will help to save the pattern and admire it for a long time. And now, the stamping art is ready.

Stamping mistakes

You need to pay attention to many nuances to avoid stamping mistakes.

There are different reasons why the pattern is not applied:

1) Almost all stamping discs have a protective film. Make sure it is removed.

2) A nail polish remover based on oils will also hamper the fixation of the pattern, it is necessary to choose an acetone-based product.

3) It is not recommended to be slow in the process, as the polish on the stamp dries out quite quickly. If you use a thick paint, you need to add a thinner.

Everything can be done quickly and easily, and the result will make you happy for a long time!
