Nail stamping kits: how stamping works

How stamping works

1. Paint polish or stamping gel over a design on the plate.
2. Drag the scraper across to remove the extra, leaving polish only in the design.
3. Roll the stamper over the design to pick it up.
4. Roll it onto your nail, then seal with top coat (cure it if you used gel).

How to choose

• Check the kit includes all three: plates, scraper and stamper.
• Stamping gel or polish made for stamping transfers more cleanly than regular polish.
• Pick plate designs you'll actually wear — French tips are an easy start.

FAQ

Why does my design come out patchy?

Work fast — polish dries on the plate in seconds — and scrape with light pressure.

Can I stamp over gel?

Yes. Stamp on a cured gel base, then add top coat and cure again.
