Nail (Stamping) Art Lessons


So this is what I learned from messing around with my Konad stamps and researching on the web:

  1. Hold the scraper at 30 -60 degree angle while scraping off the nail polish

  1. Scrape in one strong stroke

  1. Using thick nail polish will work however I may buy the Konad white nail polish --- my white is too watery
    1. I have Fingerpaints black and it's fine

  1. Rough up the stamper with a fine fingernail file to help transfer of stamp but not too much
    1. I used a 600 nail file and it seems to help

  1. Press hard/down with the stamp -- I didn't do this initially and I couldn't get the transfer to stick to my nails

  1. Use Acetone nail polish remover to clean
