What is Nail Art Stamping? 🤔

Nail art stamping is a revolutionary technique that allows you to transfer intricate designs onto your nails using a stamp and scraper. You simply apply the design onto the plate, scrape off the excess polish, pick up the design with the stamper, and stamp it onto your nails. It’s that easy!

Before we start with the technique, let’s discuss the tools you’ll need. Here’s a list of the essentials:

  • Stamper and scraper
  • Nail polish plate with designs
  • Nail polish
  • Cotton buds
  • Nail polish remover
  • Clear topcoat

Make sure to invest in a good quality stamper and scraper. A sticky stamper works best for picking up the designs, and a metal scraper helps remove the excess polish without damaging the plate.
