The Basics for Doing Stamping
Start out by choosing a specific pre-made engraved metal template that you particularly like. Then you'll need just a few drops of nail polish poured over the metal plate and use the scraper that came in the kit to distribute the product evenly onto the engraving. Your stamping polish should be a thicker formula nail polish to do this with. Once you've spread the polish over the engraving, press the rubber stamp over the plate so that it will pick up the extra polish. After the design is on the rubber stamp, you can rock the stamp gently back and forth, left to right, onto the nail plate with a hand that is steady. Do this for every finger and make sure to let the designs dry completely before you apply a top coat.
Additional Tips for Stamping Nail Art
You can use regular nail polish for stamping nail art, however be aware that the polish could be thinner than you'd like and therefore your design might not show up well in the end. This is why many people choose to use a higher quality polish that is thicker and with more saturated colors.
