How to Use a Nail Stamper: 11 Steps
1. Choose a nail stamping plate: Select a nail stamping plate with your desired designs or patterns. There is a wide variety of plates available with various images, textures, and themes.
2. Apply base coat: Before starting the nail stamping process, apply your favorite base coat on clean nails and let it dry completely.
3. Apply nail polish on the design: Select the nail polish color you want to use for stamping and apply it onto the chosen pattern on your stamping plate.
4. Scrape off excess polish: Using a scraper or an old credit card, gently scrape off the excess polish from the design on the plate. Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle and swipe it across the plate in one motion.
5. Use the stamper: Now, take your nail stamper and press it onto the stamped design you just scraped. The design will transfer from the plate to your stamper.
6. Align the design: Carefully align the stamper with your nail so that your desired design will transfer onto your nail accurately.
7. Press down firmly: Once aligned, press down firmly on your nail with the stamper, rolling it from one side to the other to transfer the design accurately.
8. Remove excess polish: After you’ve transferred your design onto your nail, there might be some excess polish around your fingernail’s edges. Use a small brush dipped in nail polish remover or acetone to clean up any imperfections.
9. Allow time for drying: Give your nails enough time to dry before applying topcoat or touchups as wet designs can smear or become distorted when touched.
10. Apply topcoat: To ensure that your new stamped design lasts longer and stays protected, apply a topcoat over each of your nails once they are completely dry.
11. Practice makes perfect: Nail stamping is a skill that may take a few tries to master. Don’t worry if your first attempts aren’t perfect; just keep practicing and refining your technique, and you’ll soon find success!
